Students experience data collection, analysis and inquiry in this LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT -based activity. They measure the position of an oscillating platform using a ultrasonic sensor and perform statistical analysis to determine the mean,...

Design and construct a structure out of spaghetti and marshmallows. Although spaghetti doesn't seem like a strong building material, you can build surprisingly elegant and sturdy structures using it.

Students can learn all about water pathogens in this online exhibit. They'll explore what kinds of micro-organisms infect water, how a water supply can get contaminated, how it is protected, and how officials investigate cases of...

Through critical thinking, students realize that spontaneous events happen in a certain order. This activity presents an examination of the Second Law of Thermodynamics using a thought story, rubber band inquiry, discrepant event and...

A collection of inquiry-based and hands-on activities to introduce students to wind energy. Includes PowerPoints, labs, and videos.

In this physics tutorial, we will follow a pattern of inquiry for convex mirrors: investigating how convex mirrors reflect light and produce images.

This is a hands-on, inquiry-based lesson that includes three magnetic stations in which students or small groups rotate in order to test and discover different magnetic properties and then use their knowledge to build a Maglev Train...

Use science inquiry to predict and investigate forces and motion to help rescue Ruff's plushie from the penguins' ice rink in this sports science game.

Use science inquiry to explore and test different ingredients to help Ruff make, decorate, and serve cookies to his family in this kitchen science game.

Journey with the chicken egg, from formation to hatching, and learn about its embryology.

This lesson will help students develop their scientific observation skills and encourages students to make detailed observations. They will draw and describe insect specimens so another classmate can identify it.

This tutorial site for NetPBL (Networked Project-Based Learning) offers guidance for developing collaborative learning.

Let our students introduce you to the model . . . View their 25-minute video, "MummifiedChickens, Mutant Frogs and Rockets to the Moon" - a student-generated video introducing project-project based learning.
