Students discuss natural resources and renewable resources with trees being considered renewable resources which need special attention. In this Earth science activity, students write a list of reasons for why it would be good to stop...

First graders study stars. In this space science lesson, 1st graders determine that it is best to observe stars on a clear night and define various qualities of stars.

Young scholars complete lessons on a butterfly life cycle, moon phases, hot water, and shadows. In this science lesson plan, students complete activities where they read books, look at demonstrations, and complete experiments.

Second graders read THe Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System. In this language arts and science lesson, 2nd graders explore the four inner planets. Students view the inner planets using Google Earth.

Second graders explore the ocean. In this science lesson plan, 2nd graders define vocabulary and color pictures of animals that live in the ocean. Students complete a word search about ocean life.

Third graders research animal and plant life in the ocean. In this science instructional activity, 3rd graders make a drawing of lifeforms found in the ocean and write about one thing they learned about ocean lifeforms.

Students research marine species. For this science lesson, students research a marine animal and create a visual aide. Students create a model of the animal they are researching.

Students design a bridge. In this science lesson, students research different types of bridges and create a bridge using marshmallows, toothpicks and construction paper.

Students explore the DNA of strawberries. In this science lesson, students extract the DNA of strawberries. Students complete a lab report.

Students explore animals of the savannah. In this science lesson plan, students discuss the characteristics of animals that live on the savannah. Students create an animal that would be able to live on the savannah.

Learners explore insulators. In this science activity, students conduct an experiment in which they determine materials that insulate. Learners graph their results using a line graph.

Young scholars study butterfly metamorphosis. In this science lesson, students read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and create a model of butterfly metamorphosis. Young scholars write a paragraph about the process.

Students observe earth science by examining results from an experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students practice floating different items in two different liquids and identify why certain objects will float and others sink. Students...

Learners explore the importance of fruits and vegetables in our diets. In this science lesson, students discuss various types of fruits and vegetables. Learners play the good health=good diet game. Students discuss types of fruits and...

Learners solve a crime by matching a suspect's blood type to physical evidence collected at the crime scene. In this forensic science lesson, students identify the different blood types. They explain how blood tests work.

Students identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations, design and conduct a scientific investigation. They also use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data.

Learners are given a fictitious case study to read in preparation for the class. This lesson can also be readily adapted for a role-playing classroom exercise. They discuss the ethical issues of the case.

Students use scientific methods during field and lab investigations. Students collect specimens and make measurements using the metric system. Students describe biotic and abiotic factors in an estuary and design a model.

Learners complete an activity by looking and gathering data on plants and soils.

First graders gain knowledge about solids, liquids and gases by taking a look at the things around them. They have to classify certain picture cards based on which category they feel the picture falls under. As a whole, the class...

Second graders examine the properties of liquids and their classifications. They compare and contrast cups of different liquids and record their findings in journals. Students observe how liquids flow at various speeds and that unlike...

Fourth graders identify the four kinds of violent storms. Using photographs, they create "eye spy" questions for each and mount them on construction paper. They write a brief summary for each photo and share the questions with the class...

Students begin to think of ways to make work easier. They will focus on ways to extend their abilities to lift heavy things. They will identify levers, pulleys, and inclined planes through the examination of concrete objects and hands on...

First graders understand that gases take up space even though you can't see or smell it. This is done through many experiments like trapping air in different sized bags, using balloons and plastic bottles, and blowing bubbles. They...
