In this scientific investigation worksheet, students conduct scientific investigations on what happens to the speed of a marble when the height of a ramp is changed, what happens when you add salt to water, and 3 other experiments....

In this scientific investigation instructional activity, students use "magic tubes" to make observations, hypothesize, study variables in experiments, write procedures, and draw conclusions.

In this primes and prime factors learning exercise, 8th graders solve 21 different problems to include identifying each number as prime, composite, or neither prime nor composite and listing all the primes less than 200. Then they...

In this ketchup learning exercise, students investigate the thickness of different types of ketchup. They hypothesize, identify their independent and dependent variables, test their hypothesis and write conclusions based on their data.

In this observations worksheet, students are given a box with unknown items inside. They are to experiment with the box and determine what is inside by shaking, rattling and rolling the box. They write down an educated guess for six items.

In this experimental design worksheet, young scholars describe the different science skills required when designing an experiment. Then students create a flipbook with the information. This worksheet has 9 short answer questions.

In this problem solving learning exercise, students are given a series of events that occur in the Chesapeake Bay related to the rockfish. Students provide a solution to saving endangered fish and they use information/data to hypothesize...

In this lab design and lab skills worksheet, students answer questions about experimental design including finding variables, determining controls, and graphing data. They answer questions about microscopy and label the parts of a...

Prediction as a reading comprehension strategy is the focus of an article attached to a two-part learning exercise. Kids read the article and then use the provided information to respond to the comprehension questions.

In this statistics worksheet, students test given claims using traditional methods of hypothesis testing. Students assume that sampling is randomly generated.

In this scientist worksheet, students use a decoding system to determine the characteristics of a good scientist. Students decode 16 terms.

Make sure the conditions are right. Pupils watch a video introducing conditional statements and their related statements. Learners find out how to identify the hypothesis and conclusion as well as write the converse, inverse, and...

Processed foods use inorganic compounds for flavoring and preservation. This take-home laboratory challenges scholars to find 20 different compounds identified on the labels of foods to list on their data collection sheet. The activity...

Examine the behavior of energy as water freezes and melts. An engaging activity provides a hands-on experience to learners. Collaborative groups collect data and analyze the graphs of the temperature of water as it freezes and then...
