Beginning Statistical Inquiries into the Scientific Method: Jelly-Side-Down

Young surveyors look for patterns in water flow around campus. Using a map of the school (that you will need to create), they mark the direction of the path of water. They also perform calculations for the volume that becomes runoff. The...

Students construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics instructional activity, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Oceans absorb half of the carbon dioxide and 80 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Scholars learn how and why the oceans store heat more effectively than land and how they help mitigate global warming. Pupils...

What does it take to land a large rover on the surface of Mars? Video explains the challenges including the distance and size. Then it focuses on the process of going from hurtling through space to slowing down enough to survive the...

No umbrella? No jacket? No problem! Physics scholars learn the mathematical advantage to running in the rain. The narrator illustrates the factors of top rain and side rain and how position and speed influence these factors.

Death becomes fungi because many are decomposers, breaking down dead organisms and returning nutrients to the soil. Explore the fascinating world of fungi, how they feed, the different types, and how they reproduce in a video that...

Students build a water table to show the zones of aeration and the zones of saturation. In this water table lesson plan, students use a beaker with sand and gravel to simulate the Earth's water table. They label the zones of aeration and...

In this chemistry worksheet, students select the best answer for 26 multiple choice questions from the drop down box. They describe how elements are arranged in the periodic table.

In this chemistry learning exercise, students are introduced to the periodic table of elements. They find the answers to 13 questions about the periodic table.

A mouse can fall from large heights without injury! Air resistance is a large influence on small falling objects. In an exploratory lesson, young scholars build a raindrop bottle to compare the falling rate of different-sized objects.
