Fourth graders are involved in a lab experience to look at the concept of heating up various materials to see how they react to an increase in temperature. They make observations and record them in a lab journal. Then students discuss...

Young scholars investigate the organisms of bacteria. They are given a culture of bacteria that can be observed under a microscope. The students make observations that are recorded. The lesson includes the mention of specific safety...

Students investigate the effects of light while experimenting with several color wheels. They make observations and record them. The information from the observations is used to help fuel the discussion that follows. The instructional...

Students are able to prepare and use pH indicators in paper form. They find out the color of the indicator paper plus test solution may change with time. Students use red cabbage to use for the indicator.

Students explore the rotation of the Earth and observe the shapes of constellations. After discussing how the Earth moves. volunteers use a flashlight and globe to model the movement of the sun-Earth system. Using Digitalis technology,...

Students observe pictures taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. From a given website, students observe images of the Einstein Cross, Black Eye Galaxy, Hoag's Object, merging and interacting galaxies and more. This lesson plan gives a...

Pupils begin the lesson by observing animals in their natural habitat. Using the internet, they research the types of adaptations they have gone through to be able to live comfortably in their environment. They observe what they see on...

Students participate in a lab activity in which they collect microbes on an agar plate. After discussing microbes and where they might be found, they trap microbes in the Petri dishes following specific guidelines. They observe any...

Students visit a local creek or stream. They collect water samples from the creek and observe and sort the "water critters" they find in the sample, observing smaller organisms under a microscope if necessary. They identify each organism...

In this physics worksheet, students observe white light through a spectroscope and describe what they see. Then they observe fluorescent light with the spectroscope and describe what they see. Students also describe why it is important...

In this shapes activity, 2nd graders observe different basic shapes. Students observe 6 basic shapes including a square, triangle, hexagon, trapezoid, parallelogram, and pentagon.

Students conduct an experiment. In this forms of water lesson, students observe ice to see what changes take place and then write in their journal about what they observed.

Students observe and discuss the change of water to ice and back again. In this water and ice lesson, students observe the change in temperature and what happens when water freezes and turns to ice and vice versa.

Students complete science journals to learn about the science process using a fern as study material. In this science journal lesson, students research the resurrection fern. Students observe the fern in dry and moist conditions and...

In this science worksheet, students perform an investigation about sound waves and vibration. Students use a pan of water and toothpicks to make and observe ripples. Students answer 4 essay questions about their observations.

Students observe washers of different weights roll downhill and observe what happens and what rate each of them travels. In this rate of travel lesson plan, students see the cylinders and discuss what happened after the race.

Students observe the concept of evaporation. In this evaporation lesson plan, students observe this by either charting as the sun evaporates water over time, or watching a boiling pot steam.

Students observe changes in a penny when it is cleaned. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students use a dixie cup filled with vinegar and salt, and drop the penny into the water. Students observe the changes.

Students study changes in the environment using a microscale experiment. In this environmental science lesson, students construct a modified "Winogradsky Column" to observe bacteria activities. They record observations and formulate a...

Fifth graders examine pond ecology, testing how temperature affects the respiration rate of fish. They collect various living things found at a pond, and identify the animal and plant life discovered. They observe a pond community in an...

Learners observe the weather each day and record what he or she sees. They can record his or her data in any appropriate manner, from drawing pictures of a sunny sky to recording the temperature and rain fall on a chart.

Students observe a machine closely from several angles while it operates. Identify the elements of machines combined in different gadgets. Create a clear diagram of how a machine works.

Third graders explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences and share their observations with others. They classify shapes by discussing sides and angles and combine pieces to make new shapes.

Students explore animal behvior. Using Skinner boxes, they monitor and train rats to accomplish a set of tasks. They maintain a log of observations, task completions and data.
