Young scholars identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Students demonstrate the effects of photosynthesis and respiration. They decide which variables to analyze in a microcosm study. They produce a written paper, oral presentation, poster, or multi-media presentation

Students examine the Michigan state quarter and discuss the effects glaciers have on land formation. They perform an investigate using ice cubes and sand to show how glaciers have carved the land.

Students research raccoons. They access a website that has raccoon pictures, sounds, eating habits, raccoon rescue, and other fun activities. They complete a worksheet over what they learn from the site.

Students examine the concept of frequency and wavelength. They analyze how frequency and wavelength relate to each other by conducting an experiment involving measuring and timing wavelengths by pulling adding machine tape through an...

Learners explore the flow of magma. They observe the effect of silica and heat on lava flow through a model using everyday items. in addition, they complete analysis questions.

Students are able to answer basic questions about the process of turning light energy into electrical energy. They are introduced to the basic physics and chemistry behind the operation of a solar cell. Students explore how a single...

Students explore magnetism. They make observations of everyday items regarding their magnetic attraction and use their experiences to make a prediction.

Students learn what quick breads are and that they belong to the Bread, Cereal, Grain Food Group on the Food Guide Pyramid which are high in Carbohydrates. They identify characteristics to look for in quick bread products, the...

Students view a wordless comic before using it as a story starter. They access a story that uses the same characters at a website in order to better understand the nature of the characters. They write a story inspired by the comic and...

Students participate in hands-on, computer activities to demonstrate the addition and subtraction of mathematical situations. Given a story problem, students determine when to add or subtract. Using word processing technology, students...

Students investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

Young scholars analyze relationships about animals and create a model of classifications based on both the similarities and the differences. They also discuss a dichotomous key before they create a cladograph using different types of...

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry instructional activity. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

In this science worksheet, learners use the diatoms present in water in order to test water quality and perform data collection and interpretation.

In this life cycle worksheet, 9th graders complete 3 different procedures that distinguish viruses and bacteria and inherited characteristics. First, they read the background excerpt given about bacteria and viruses. Then, students cut...

High schoolers investigate unsaturated, saturated and supersaturated solutions. In this solutions lesson plan, students experiment with sodium acetate and produce three different types of solutions including a saturated solution of...

Students explore the parts of a flower. In this flower structures lesson plan, students study a model of a flower and dissect a flower. They label each structure of the flower and observe the pollen grains and ovules under the dissecting...

In this water pollution and filtration lesson plan, 5th graders read the story 'Saving Salila's Turtle' and discuss the impact pollution has had on the Ganges river. Students work in groups to brainstorm different types of water...

Students research information using various internet resources. In this chemistry lesson, students demonstrate their ability to navigate websites and gather necessary information. They evaluate the potential usefulness of the databases...

Students examine the principles that are involved in climate change.  In this environment lesson students view a presentation on climate change and complete a handout.

Students investigate climate change and how the properties of carbon dioxide and methane play a part.  For this climate lesson students use a chemical reaction to trap CO2 and methane.

Young scholars investigate how plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. In this biology lesson, students differentiate photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They discuss the important role of plants in the environment.

Students examine fungi and where it comes from.  In this mold lesson students determine the percentage of fruit juice in a fruit then identify the different types of mold.
