Students watch as the teacher demonstrates: if a single liquid is placed in a U-shaped tube, the level of liquid on both sides are the same. When the mass is greater on one side than the other, liquid is pushed from one side to the...

Eighth graders examine what materials cause water hardness and the relative measure of water hardness in a two part lab activity. In part one, 8th graders add an assigned soap test solution to eleven different test tube solutions in...

Students describe motion by the use of adding vectors. They identify the difference between the x and y components of vector quantities. Students are given the Paper Bridge Building handout and the instructions as to where to perform...

In this pharmacology worksheet, students compare excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters and how these work on the body. This worksheet has 3 drawings and 13 fill in the blank questions.

In this proteins worksheet, students review how amino acids are sequenced to determine types of proteins. Students also review how proteins are used by the body. This worksheet has 2 drawing and 24 fill in the blank statements.

In this lipids activity, students review the different types of lipids and how lipids are used by the body. This activity has 3 drawings and 27 fill in the blank statements.

Eighth graders experiment what happens when acids and bases are mixed together. In this acids and bases experimental instructional activity, 8th graders decide which of three solutions of unknown pH will neutralize a fourth solution of...

Students isolate DNA from different food sources. In this biology lesson, students research DNA extraction. They analyze DNA stands collected from the lab, and compare the differences between each.

Fifth graders at this age are very interested in the adventures of knighthood and life in the past, so the unit will serve as a basis for teaching skills while maintaining high interest.

Students participate in an experiment to become aware of the harmful effects of an acidic solution -- acid rain.

Students measure and record the mass of the nut to be tested to the nearest 0.01 gram.

Fifth graders explain how organisms' specialized structures and variations work with the environment to help them survive.

Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students design a visualization to illustrate the role of the protein kinesin in exocytosis of a secretory material in a directed manner.

Students explore respiration in a lake ecosystem by experiment and research.

Students explore conductivity and productivity in aquatic systems.

Students review factors that threaten survival of different species. this instructional activity is part of a multi-segmented unit on animal survival.

Eighth graders explore how to take soil samples and use GPS to determine the location of the site they have chosen to take the samples.

Students, in groups, take samples from a creek and keep a field journal on their samples. They also perform tests on their samples.

Learners use GPS and trees to explore lichens and air quality.

Sixth graders collect soil samples and record the location of the samples by using GPS.

Students study the design elements of Art Nouveau, its sources and development. They create art projects in ceramics and glass that exemplify the focus of Art Nouveau as a decorative style.

Students study the water quality of a stream in their area, by measuring the temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity. They integrate biology with earth science when using the microscope to study the living organisms in the water.

Students begin the experiment by mapping and calculating their school parking lot. They calculate the volume of water falling on the lot and map the route the water runoff takes. They discuss the roles that humans play in affecting water...
