If he keeps this up, will he have enough air? After watching a video about spacewalks, groups of four brainstorm aspects of spacesuit design and present it to the rest of the class. Groups create mathematical models of oxygen use for two...

Students investigate the agouti and the ocelot using the TI explorer. For this science lesson, students track the location of the agouti and the ocelot for four hours. They record their data using the TI.

Students perform experiments about motion.  In this motion lesson plan, students use motion dectors and other technology to simulate the motion of animals.  They plot coordinates to indicate paths.  Students measure specified paths and...

Students analyze data on elk ecology and movements across the highway. In this ecology lesson, students research ways to save them from highway collisions. They write a report and present their findings in class.

High schoolers examine how underwater robots can be used to assist scientific explorations. They read and discuss an article, conduct Internet research, complete a worksheet, and present an oral report.

Students survey the science behind volcanoes and their significance in the past and the future. In this monitoring volcanoes lesson, students discover how scientists predict volcanic activity and the role these predictions have had in...

How do you determine the position coordinates of objects in space? Using the provided worksheet, class members determine the location of the space shuttle based upon its spherical coordinates from the Dryden Flight Research Center.

Here is a unique resource to use with middle and high schoolers that deals with animal migration. Viewers discover the reasons for, types of, and animals that practice this behavioral adaptation. Specific animals that are introduced...

Students use the Internet to research current and past snowpack levels and river gauging station readings. They determine the relationship between snowpack and river flow. They predict future river flow.

Young scholars use problem solving skills to observe feeding habits of penguins. They use research data gathered by research scientists to triangulate raw radio telemetry data to determine the location of Adelie penguin feeding areas.
