Students investigate the four seasons in a year. In this seasons lesson, students explore the weather during each season.  Students illustrate each season with pictures.

Learners examine present constellation patterns by reading The Glow-In-The-Dark Planetarium Book by Annie Ingle. They copy a few of the constellations and then create their own, using sticky stars and black paper.

Students examine images of Moon craters and speculate about what caused them. They create craters using sand weighted balls. Students measure crater sizes and draw ejection patterns to see what effect size, weight, and velocity have on...

Students examine topographic maps and discover how to decipher contour intervals, use contour lines and apply information to complete a topographic map lab. Working in groups, they identify the scale of the map, latitude and longitude,...

Ninth graders study the Big Bang theory.  In this big bang theory lesson students research the Internet and complete several activities and create a presentation.

In this math/science worksheet, learners find the balance point of a variety of objects, and complete ten problems. Students look at sketches of objects and calculate the balance point, and also use meter sticks and weights. This is an...

In this using the internet worksheet, students search several websites to review information about the heart, human senses, the solar system, and planets. Students also read information about the rock cycle and answer provided questions.

Learners study soil and how particle and pore size affect water movement.  In this soil lesson plan students complete a lab activity to investigate pore saturation and sponge like behavior. 

Students explore the history of planetariums and the features of the Hayden Planetarium as a springboard to planning, developing and displaying their own planetarium exhibits.

Learners explore placing a satellite into orbit, then about forces needed to keep an object in orbit. They examine how satellites orbit in elliptical paths and about properties of ellipses. They learn Kepler's 3rd Law of Planetary Motion

Students explore the internet world of Second Life and create a portfolio about the planets in our solar system. In this planets lesson plan, students provide many facts about 1 specific planet.

Students identify and explain that remote sensing can detect changes on the Earth's surface that occur over time, and name at least three: urbanization, deforestation, and succession. They select a global change issue to investigate and...

Young scholars engage in scientifically oriented questions. They give priority to evidence, draw conclusions/formulate explanations and connect/evaluate explanations with scientific knowledge. Students communicate and justify proposed...

For this Earth worksheet, students read about Earth's gravity, the reason the Earth has seasons, and time zones. Then students complete 21 multiple choice, 2 true or false, and 1 short answer question.

Students observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

Students use a coffee cup to demonstrate weightlessness. After a lecture/demo, students read an article on free-fall. They perform a simple experiment which helps them explain the concept of weightlessness.

Young scholars work together to design and build a paper rocket. They place a propellant in the contraption to make it fly. They discover Newton's third law of motion.

Young scholars participate in an exercise/experiment designed to show how environmental pollution can affect the quality of drinking water.

Learners investigate density and its relationship to air and gas. Students perform experiments to determine if gases have mass. They explore possible ways to figure out the density of gases.

Young scholars create a game that may be used to review and reinforce embryological terminology and concepts. They create a game board and question cards while promoting cooperative learning.

Students investigate the different concepts involved in crossing a body of water that is polluted through a simulation that is supposed to be done without a boat. The goal of the lesson is for groups to role play after creating a plan...

In this radiation learning exercise, students calculate the distance of a satellite in orbit to determine the placement of a radiation detection device. This learning exercise has 2 problems to solve.

Students follow directions to draw a map of an island. They complete the island map adding their own details using symbols and a legend.

In this cold quiz worksheet, students complete a six question multiple choice on-line interactive quiz about cold places and cold weather.
