Students, in groups, investigage and demonstrate the science behind the development and characteristics of extreme heat.

Students, in groups, research a topic of interest to them in Science.

Students discover what the estuaries do for the environment. In pairs, they create an advertising campaign to educate others in their local area about the benefits of estuaries. They share their poster with the class and possibly the...

Intended for science instruction, this word search could be used to reinforce vocabulary. Class members find the following words: electrical, potential, heat, chemical, gravitational, kinetic, mechanical, nuclear, and radiant. While the...

Fifth graders use general knowledge to make educated guesses about the habitat and survival strategies of animals from Australia, Antarctica and Africa. They research to confirm and check ideas and group animals in a variety of ways.

In this animal education worksheet, students fill in 10 circles with what a duck needs. There is a duck at the top of the page and circles at the bottom.

Students practice making educated guesses about objects in their hands. They guess what the object is without looking at it and choose a word that describes it. They practice using new vocabulary as well.

Students practice using a GPS receiver and reading directions in an on-campus field trip. Students can identify a building stone, tree, or plant at each stop depending on which area of science is being studied.

Students investigate water usage for the average home with the help of conducting a home survey. The information is collected and organized into a graphic format. Then they analyze the results to formulate an educated opinion about water...

Pupils explain how to prepare and keep food safely. In this health science lesson, students research common mistakes and tips for maintaining a clean kitchen. They identify main causes of foodborne diseases.

Students analyze monthly sea surface temperature data from the Pacific Ocean to determine if the period is an El Nino or a normal year. They recognize signs to see if there are any patterns that signal either occurrence. Satellite images...

Students discover how distance can change how our view of an object. Students build a representative model of where their home is located from different distances. They create three drawn models of their home from various elevations as...

Students view video clips and use the Internet to look for hidden animals. They then use the Internet to print out animal shapes and color them. They create environments on construction paper in which their animals can hide.

Students build electrical circuits. In this lesson teaching pre-service teachers how to use the 5E instructional model, students use materials to explore how to create an electrical circuit.

Students use the newspaper to explore the world around us, our past and our government. In this civics unit, students complete 40 different lessons in civic education using that day's newspaper to reinforce the concept being taught.

Students educate themselves as consumers. In this animal welfare activity, students research the pros and cons of testing cosmetics on animals. Students develop alternatives for cosmetics testing and share their results with their peers.

Students assess the educational and social issues of boys and girls in school as a springboard to interviewing women in the fields of science, in order to study of their early interests and experiences in these typically male-dominated...

Students identify several properties of water as a universal substance, describe the composition of several complex color mixtures and separate the components of dye using chromatographic technique.

Students develop simple observations. They observe bleeding of colored inks with water, to understand mixtures, and to make generalized inferences from their observations.

Students observe a picture containing patterns of animal tracks, infer what might have happened based upon the pattern of tracks, and write a story describing what might have happened.

In this math, science, and physical education worksheet, students brainstorm and study about the muscles that are used while participating in different Olympic sports. They color the muscle groups of the body by follow the directions...

Students will learn the meaning of food science and management for the classroom and laboratory. Background For Teachers: NOTE TO TEACHERS: A pre-assessment should never be graded. Good pre-assessment devices, however, can also be used...

Students collect, organize by table, and examine census data in a simulation, estimate the size of the population in the simulation and make predictions based on the collection of census simulation data.

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