Third graders examine simple machines. For this simple machines lesson, 3rd graders observe simple machines at work in a video, then experiment with creating their own simple machines to move objects.  

First graders investigate soil, sand and silt. In this environment lesson, 1st graders discuss how changes occur in the environment and the effects of weather. Students perform their own investigation and record their predictions,...

Students investigate forces, loads, materials and shapes as they relate to science. In this science instructional activity, students differentiate between the basic definitions required to perform a scientific experiment. They answer...

In this investigations worksheet, students complete a hypothesis, variable manipulation, and more for sleeping habits, rolling wheels on a skate board, sports practice, and more.

Students examine the dust in their classroom and relate it to the dust in space.  In this investigative instructional activity students collect dust and graph their findings.

Students identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

Students investigate the effect of different container materials on heat transfer; draws a conclusion about the best insulator; and applies concept to a new, seemingly quite different problem.

Students, by exploring a simple investigation system, see how technology can allow people to extend their senses and "see" beyond the world of their natural vision.

Students predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

Eighth graders identify and interpret a scientific investigation and a hypothesis through experimentation and testing a hypothesis. They identify what scientists hypothesized about the communication of stingless bees. Finally, 8th...

Eighth graders examine the role of intended meaning in Ralph Earl's portrait of Andrew Jackson. They, in groups, research periods in Jackson's life and use gathered information to create their own portraits of Jackson.

In order to give young scientists experience with critical thinking skills, introduce them to a current controversy and prepare them to debate. Choose a topic, such as genetically modified organisms, and assign groups to represent...
