Students study chemistry.  In this laboratory lesson students watch the CSI episodes and investigate their laboratory techniques and discuss what they saw.

Students investigate temperature using the TI. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze the change in temperature, as chemicals are dissolved in water. They analyze data collected using the CBL 2.

If you need a way to assess the concepts in your physical science class, use an extended set of worksheets as a midterm or final exam. It includes questions about density, physical and chemical matter, speed and velocity, weight and...

Students examine a density demonstration involving ice cubes and beakers of water and alcohol. After observing how one ice cube floats in water and sinks in alcohol, they determine which mixture of the two would suspend the ice cube in...

Students create an atomic model using a computer program. In this technology lesson plan, students identify the difference between radius and diameter. They create circular patterns and spheres based on certain specifications.

Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science lesson plan, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this lesson plan.  

Elevate young scientists' skills with unit conversion using the stair-step method. Detailed instructions and a neat stair-step diagram are on the first page. Four pages of practice problems follow, mostly with real-world applications....

Students explore elements by analyzing everyday objects and materials in class. In this carbon lesson, students define several vocabulary terms such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon, and carbonate. Students view a group of items,...

Tired of waiting for hot water? Groups of three determine the efficiency of an electric water-heating device. They calculate the amount of energy it takes to heat the water and the theoretical amount of energy required to heat the water....

Students participate in a probability-based exercise. They consider the implications of testing positive for a cancer when the test is less than 100% accurate and analyze their results.

This is an excellent multidisciplinary lesson designed by Scientific American. It provides three creative activities--designing a garden, studying hieroglyphics, and writing poetry--relevant to the ancient peoples of the Middle East....

Students brainstorm and discuss the concept of cryptography, the science of secrets in today's world and then focus on a system for sending secret messages used by Julius Caesar. They make a Caesar wheel assessing encrypting and...

Learners collect data, organize and analyze the data and compare it to real life scenarios. This assignment requires two class periods.

Young scholars explore linear functions in a crime solving context. They collect and analyze data using linear equations, then interpret the slope and intercepts from a linear model.

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

Students use reference skills to locate information about the periodic table. They identify elements by name, atomic number, atomic mass, symbol and properties. Students use mathematical processes to find the number of protons,electrons...

In this physical constants worksheet, students use fundamental physical constants of nature to determine "secondary" constants. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

Students solve exponential functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions. They graph their functions and solve using change of base formula.

Pupils calculate the diameter, radius and area of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the different ratios of a circle. They calculate the surface are of each circle.

High schoolers convert measurements from one unit to another. For this technology lesson plan, students create their own test tubes using a computer program. They calculate mass based on density information.

Young scholars identify the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry activity, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

Students apply the Unit Circle to solve ratios of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students derive the different ratios of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. They find the angles of a unit circle using a right triangle.

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 examine how a sanitary landfill is constructed, how it functions, and how waste and leachate affects the areas around the landfill. After a discussion about landfills and leachates, students construct a Sanitary Landfill Model...
