Students identify the various parts of the body that serve as wedges and levers, identifying the fulcrum for each body lever. They bite into carrots and apples to analyze how their jaws and teeth work, then complete three worksheets that...

Young biologists identify parts of the body that serve as wedges (teeth and fingernails), and as levers (jaw, arms, and legs). The hands-on activities described here should be exciting for learners to perform, and should also lead to a...

Investigators construct a makeshift balance and compare equal volumes of wax and water. They do the same for clay and water. Then they discover whether the wax and clay will float or sink in water. Ultimately this is a comparison of...

The world would be a much different place without the help of pollinators. Read about the important role bats, hummingbirds, and various insects play in plant reproduction, exploring the interdependence of living things in an ecosystem....

Students research information on worker bees. In this insect lesson, students review the body parts of insects and how bees find flowers. They discuss compound and simple eyes and the life cycle of a worker bee.

Students explore the pollination cycle. In this pollination lesson, students investigate the process of pollination. Students illustrate the pollination cycle of bees on paper plates.

Students investigate the anatomy of honeybees. In this anatomy lesson, students research the physical characteristics of bees and discover what they do. Students create a model of a honeybee showing the correct anatomy.

Explore the human body through hands-on activities. Young learners will trace their bodies and place cut out body organs in the proper place, print patterns using cut fruit, sing songs about good nutrition, and use their five senses...

Young scholars have sensory experiences with the sweet smell of discovery. In this early childhood science activity, students use their sense of smell as they create and compare their very own fragrance essences with a variety of...
