Students build and test a type of communication system called a parabolic-dish receiver. This type of system is exactly like radio telescopes, which are discussed in our song. They explain how signals are transmitted and captured with...

Students introduced to word processing by having them open a new document and use at least three to five commands within the program. Word processing commands are reinforced and practiced to gain more knowledge about entering and...

Students research their tonsils in this instructional activity. They research and discover what tonsils are, what they do, and where they are located. Students also identify other parts of the mouth, what they do, and where they're...

Fourth graders explore magnets as fundamental parts of generators and how they are used to produce current electricity. They distinguish between the north and south pole of magnets and the difference between repel and attract. Students...

Students practice writing research proposals to test the color fastness of a dye once it has been exposed to a t-shirt. Each proposal needs details of experimental design, length of treatment, and means of cleaning the shirt. All...

Students explore the circulatory system and the scientific method. They perform an experiment to measure how varying amounts of physical activity affects heart rate and use the Investigation Journal provided to record their data and make...

Students visit a local wetland or WWT centre and record their observations by writing or drawing on the downloadable pupil activity sheet.

For this biology worksheet, learners examine the internal functions of the human body while considering the factors needed to explain the physiological reactions.

Tenth graders experiment with detection techniques for black holes by modeling the rotation of galaxies with larger and larger masses in the center. They discover while some events cannot be directly observed they may be observable in...

Third graders distinguish between living and nonliving things.

Students explore landforms. Using the internet, students research the main landforms. They define landforms and download images into a word document. Students create their own picture-dictionary.

First graders explore the job done by ornithologists. They role play identifying the characteristics that make a bird a bird. They discuss what makes each bird species unique. Students are introduced to Wisconsin's most common and rare...

Learners identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

Ninth graders describe how equilibrium can occur as the balance of two effects. They model the stability of elliptical galaxies based on how fast stars within the galaxy are moving.

Tenth graders explore the role that collisions and near collisions of galaxies play in determining the shape of galaxies. They model the collision of disk shaped and spherically shaped galaxies.

Young scholars explore circuit boards. They determine that a complete circuit is needed to light the bulbs, experiment with the boards to develop strategies for finding where the hidden connections are, and develop strategies that can be...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the use of tonsils in the human body. They brainstorm in small groups to review the location and purpose of having tonsils. The teacher uses a poster to help students in the class...

Students research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

Students conduct Internet research to find information about each planet and present their findings to the class. Students research statistical information and two interesting facts about each planet, then create a multimedia...

Young scholars evaluate current literature on the Internet and in handouts about the energy considerations for the computer industry and calculate energy needs for real life problems. Working in groups, they present the problem they...
