In this understanding radon detection worksheet, 6th graders read 8 facts about radon, make observations about and draw pictures of hidden objects, use a chart of elements to answer questions about radon.

In this Mr. Jones's home improvements worksheet, 6th graders use the information given, then calculate the materials needed and the cost (in pounds) for the work;  there are 9 word problems.

Pupils discuss the solar heating of the Earth and atmosphere, its heat loss proceses, and the way these relate to weather and climate.

Students assess how much harm UV radiation can have on your skin and how much protection is provided by sunblock, sunglasses and clothing. They experiment with UV index numbers and the amount of exposure risk of skin damage for any given...

Student describes what happens to the color of a stove burner or a coal as it gets hotter. They use the applet to determine what range of temperatures range give you a red light, what range of temperatures would give you a white light,...

In this stars worksheet, students review what makes up a star, how astronomers learn about stars, and the different types of stars including low mass and high mass stars. This worksheet has 62 fill in the blank statements.

Middle schoolers investigate the cycles of solar activity. They plot the solar activity and use the graph to answer a number of questions and explain the relationship between the solar storms and sunspots and the impact on earth and...

Young scholars become aware of some of the objects studied in, and concepts associated with, high-energy astronomy. They do this by participating in card games that teach and review these concepts.

Fifth graders discuss the different types of energy and experiment with tesla coil to show the three types of energy transfer. They write conclusions in their science journal.

Seventh graders create a model of an earth centered solar system and a model of the sun centered solar system. As a class, they discuss why the earlier astronomers believed their model and why it changed when evidence arose that this...

Students discuss the concept of global warming and view a multimedia clip on the global warming phenomenon. They statistically analyze mean temperature data and compare a given set of data. Data on atmospheric CO2 is done then they...

Pupils learn the procedure for mixing secondary colors from primary pigments and observe the results of mixing two primary colors.

Students complete a unit on orbiting spacecraft designed to study astronomical objects. They conduct Internet research on NASA missions, use a satellite dish to downlink information, and construct and launch a rocket out of paper and tape.

Young scholars determine if the particles are coming from above, below, or from one side or the other by using a circular array of scintillators

Pupils perform experiment in which they model convection as it occurs in our Sun. They also explain that convection acts where the effect of gravity and heat are present (low density fluids can rise and cool, and high density fluids can...

Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.

Learners explore dangers of UV radiation and create warning scales for tracking UV levels in their community.

Students view a short film about the results of dropping the atomic bomb at the end of World War II. They research controversies surrounding the use of the bomb and nuclear weapons. They write two editorials about the issue.

Students define conflict and violence, and determine the difference between the two. They find positive aspects of conflict while analyzing a conflict which they experienced. They organize their thoughts using a webbing activity.

Students discuss the mass-energy relationship based on Einstein's work. They calculate the energy released in various scenerios and sketch diagrams for the Lyman, Balmer and Pfund Series. In groups, they discuss the role of photons and...

Students view a variety of scientific images and animations. They explore the world of science and visual art. Students enrich their knowledge through animation examinations of thoughts and feelings and awesome color rainbows of...

Learners perform a simulation of the workings of an electron microscope to discover that the resolution will need to improved to detect objects in the nano-scale. They use wooden dowels as detectors to determine the shape of objects in...

In this atoms worksheet, students determine the velocity, wavelength, power, and frequency of given atoms. Student describe wave-particle duality and give the principle and angular quantum numbers for given orbitals. This worksheet has...

In this environment worksheet, students are given a list of vocabulary words related to the environment and their definitions. Worksheet has no associated activities.
