Learners test samples of water to determine how a chemical water softener affects water's ability to form suds. After collecting their data and analyzing their results, students answer follow-up questions about their lab.

Pupils discover how and why the settling rate of particles differs with the size of the particles. Using different soil samples, they calculate the amount of time it takes for a sample to settle in water for up to forty minutes. They...

Students participate in a lesson plan that is concerned with the ecosystem of a local pond. The teacher makes arrangements for students to take a field trip. Time is spent in class for preparation and afterward for debriefing of lab...

Students perform for the class a four-part arrangement of the holiday song Jingle Bells (provided) with each student performing one part of the arrangement. This lesson plan requires the use of a networked keyboard lab.

Young scholars explore examples of innovative technology found on the AT&T Labs Technology Showcase Demos website. They take notes in their science journals and describe how each device works.

Ninth graders explore the different domain suffixes in the web site address, how to find the author or sponsor of a page to determine authority and accuracy. They determine how currency of a page. Students enter the lab, log onto...

Young scholars discuss the importance of safety in the science lab and also in industry. They also will understand some of the implications of chemistry in the world using links provided.

Students are challenged to design an organizer that will hold a "typical" gift wrapping supplies. Students discuss the features they would like to have included in the ideal organizer for wrapping supplies. Students debrief by discussing...

Students participate in a lab experiment in which they discover the need for so many blocks and tackles on sailing ships. In groups, they make and test their predictions and practice measuring objects in various units. They record and...

Students investigate the scientific concept of forming clouds. The use simple materials to simulate the formation. This creates a powerful visual for students to make cognitive connections. They make observations and record them in a lab...

Students use scientific methods to investigate the concept of DNA. They observe the DNA of human cheek cells. This is done with the use of a lab experience. Students record their observations and reflect upon on how each organism is...

Students practice determining liquid densities in a short, hands-on lab activity. Students use a graduated cylinder to measure out 100 milliliters of a liquid, find its mass using a balance, and record measurements in a data table....

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...

Young scholars review their knowledge of eggs, their structure and nutritional value. After the test, they complete an egg lab and turn in their samples to the teacher. To end the lesson plan, they determine their egg score and discuss...

Fifth graders discover the process of boiling water and how it is part of the changing of states of matter. They observe a kernel of popcorn pop in a test tube with water and take notes of how the water changes to the form of a gas....

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...

Students experiment with the concept of earthquakes while completing a lab with marshmallows, toothpicks, modeling clay and firm Jell-O and rectangular pan. They explore what kind of soil earthquakes do the most damage in and how...

Young scholars study the structure and habitat of the hydra in this lab lesson. Students determine if the hydra can be used as an indicator to detect pollution from automobile exhaust.

In this diffusion worksheet, students review the terms associated with diffusion and osmosis plus answer questions based on a passive transport lab they completed. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions.

Learners research the past eras in history including the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and the Cenozoic.  In this time scale lesson plan students take part in a lab that allows the learners a better understanding of the timeline...

Learners examine how to remove pollutants from water to create clean water.  In this boiling water lesson students complete a lab activity that purifies water. 

Students study salty and fresh waters.  For this harbor estuary lesson students complete a lab activity on salinity and describe what happened. 

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

Students examine how soil holds together and what the effect of particle size and water content is on soil.  For this engineering lesson students complete a lab, record their observations and discuss what they learned.
