In this Angela Merkel worksheet, students read about the life of the Chancellor, then complete a variety of comprehension activities. An answer key is included.

Those textbook experiments are no good. Using this simple method you can make a real bar of soap. It's

Students refine their usage of past simple or present perfect. After a lecture/demo, students work in pairs and utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to help them gain practice with time signifiers.

Students describe how shoe design, manufacturing, retailing, consumer use, and disposal impact environments and societies. They discuss ways to reduce, reuse, or recycle resources in the life-cycle for a shoe product.

Learners listen to the book, "Oobleck," by Dr. Suess before experimenting with mystery powders. They determine the proper ratio of powder to liquid to make the Oobleck.

Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.

Second graders explore states of matter when they change a liquid to a solid. Working students make ice cream in a zip-lock bag.

Students discuss the risks a landfill may pose to a community. The setting is a school board faced with a decision about whether to close a school until the landfill is capped (a 3 year period). They are asked to determine how they would...

First graders predict, observe and record strategies to overcome them using discussions, role play, and charts. Over a three or four day period, they examine obstacles that humans and insects encounter.

Young scholars describe and define chemical reactions. They design a laboratory experiment, collect data and analyze data.

Students research microarrays on the internet in cooperative groups. Students write an essay describing the use of microarrays in environmental research and in medicine.

Students investigate the effects and causes of acid rain. They test pH of household items to familiarize themselves with pH scale and compare that information with acid rain solutions. They investigate impact of acid rain via internet...

Learners, after discussing oil pollution, generate solutions to an oil spill.

Students investigate how efficient different substances are at melting snow. Students collect and analysis data.

Students are shown an experiment making ice cream while discovering the freezing point depression. There are questions for students to answer after the demostration.

Students are able to analyze practices that affect the use, availabiltiy, and management of natural resources. They are able to show that the forces of friction retards motion. Students investigate electricity and magnetism as...

Young scholars investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. The teacher is provided with the necessary background information to complete the lesson. Students practice matching the element symbol to its place on the chart.

Students explore how density changes. Students read an article on density. They observe a ball and ring demonstration and discuss the outcome. Students draw models of the demonstration and explain what happened.

Middle schoolers examine their understandings about energy concepts by completing an online survey. Students participate in a class discussion about their uses of resources and the differences between perpetual, renewable, and...

Students observe crystal growth of Epsom salts and the variables that hinder or help their nucleation and growth. They illustrate a series of drawings/pictures as the crystals grow. They look for the different shapes they form as well...

Students participate in a lab designed to facilitate the clean up and remove of substances ranging from heavy metals to dynamite. They focus on the remediation of copper. They discuss their results of this open ended inquiry experiment.

Sixth graders observe the physical and chemical change that can occur in an acid and a base. In this acids and bases lesson plan, 6th graders use cabbage juice to identify, compare, and contrast acids and bases.

Students use a microcomputer connected to a conductivity probe to measure the total dissolved solids in local area water samples. Students then compare their measurements with others in their class as well as other standard measurements.

Students are introduced to the laws of thermodynamics. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that the energy must be conserved when two objects of different temperatures come in contact. If one object gains energy, the other object must...
