Students explore the concept that air is everywhere. They assess that it can't be seen, but is all around us. Each student becomes aware that air takes up space and listen to the book, "Air is All Around You," by Franklin M. Branley.

Students research and discuss the various ceramic techniques foudn throughout China's history using primary source documents and internet resources. This lesson emphasizes small learning groups.

High schoolers examine two types of soils in their area. They identify its texture and permeability to determine its origin. They share their results with the class.

Students, using drawing tools on the computer, or with paper and pencil, diagram and label a fish.

Students explore the medium of watercolor paints. They observe basic watercolor painting techniques and experiment with these techniques on watercolor paper.

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine what type of environment sow bugs prefer. They use petri dishes with partially wet paper towels to assess whether they prefer wet or dry habitats.

Fifth graders study the water cycle. In this science lesson plan, 5th graders distinguish among evaporation, condensation, and precipitation phases of the water cycle.

Students explore matter through the concept of displacement. They perforrm an inquiry experiment with a glass, paper and a bucket to demonstrate that gases take up space.

Learners comprehend that ratios and fractions are interchangeable. They compare ratios using common denominators, cross multiplication, and intuition. Students find equivalent fractions. They comprehend that equivalent ratios do not...

Students are introduced to basic outdoor survival concepts. They identify the seven basic needs for survival. Students describe the symptoms and treatment for frostbite and hypothermia. They compare and contrast the value of different...

Students review the terms and concepts: evolution, selection, biotic, and abiotic factors. They come up with hypotheses about limpet shell types based on what we discuss about intertidal environments. Students use ratios to compare...

Students identify the causes of hypothermia. In this biology lesson, students investigate the different types of heat transfer and heat loss. They discuss several practical measures to avoid hypothermia.

In this weather worksheet, learners review what causes different weather patterns including the more severe weather patterns like tornadoes and hurricanes. Students also calculate relative humidity by using dry and wet bulb temperatures....

Students explore convection and how it happens in the earth's atmosphere.

Learners observe similarities and differences of natural objects. In this observation instructional activity, students use a magnifying glass to identify the details of objects.

Eighth graders discuss the forms of heat transfer that relate to the human body. Discussion revolves around the ability of different designs of hats to change the rate of heat transfer to and from the body. Students then experiment...

Students complete activities to learn about changing air temperature. For this air temperature lesson, students study various ways to measure air temperature and learn factors that influence temperature. Students study the weather in a...

For this grade 4 science quiz worksheet, 4th graders complete a 29 question multiple choice quiz covering a variety of grade 4 concepts. 

Students study the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students examine how the water cycle works, what its functions are, and how to diagram it.

First graders observe while water is absorbed into a sponge. They experiment by putting a sponge on yardstick and watch while water dries and the weight changes.

Students construct a sling psychrometer and they measure the relative amount of humidity in the air. They create their own experiment on how to construct a sling psychrometer and how they are going to measure the relative humidity in the...

Third graders watch a demonstration and write in their journals their predictions about how time might affect the moisture in the two paper towels. Using a Berlese funnel, they record their observations when it comes the amount of...

Students watch a video show how to identify the independent variable, dependent variable and controls in an experiment; and design experiments that use controls to isolate a single independent variable and measure the resulting dependent...

Students investigate the concept of water permeability in order to help find the best material to line a canal. The goal is to find a material that does not allow water to escape. They also conduct an experiment and record the observations.
