Students explore art history by conducting an in-class activity. In this sculpting lesson, students examine previously created art sculptures in a textbook. Students utilize clay, sculpting tools and grey paper to create their own...

Learners construct a rocket using soda straw. In this physics lesson, students determine the nose cone length that produces the best rocket. They explain the importance of using a control in an experiment.

Students determine the sequential links in a marine food chain and identify the roles that various organisms play in this chain. Students develop charts as visual aids for illustrating marine food chains.

Students analyze lunar material using actual moon rocks that were brought back by Apollo astronauts. The teacher and student activity sheets are well-designed.

Students observe and explore the characteristics of light.

Students discuss the way vertical convection transports heat from the surface upwards, and associated pressure and temperature profiles of the atmosphere.

Young scholars participate in a qualitative discussion of the distinction between weight and mass, followed by a description of astronaut mass measurements in a zero-g environment.

Young scholars study the livers parts and functions then follow a lab experiment to watch first hand how the gut uses bile to physically break down fatty substances into smaller pieces.

Students explore planetary research and become familiar with the planets and their characteristics. They compare and contrasts planets and moons.

Students discover that the Earth rotates on its axis in a cyclical fashion. They examine how this rotation results in day and night.

Fourth graders, in groups, examine the effect of heat on bonding forces by doing laboratory work.

First graders explore living things and their habitats. They create an original It's Alive! book to demonstrate what they have learned.

High schoolers research the development of satellite technology over the last 50 years students explain how the enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 changed the rules for corporate ownership of multiple media outlets.

Students build a coral reef, then discover organisms that make up the ecosystem.

Students use fossil range charts to explain relative dating. They graph for ammonites, marine organisms that went extinct at the same time as dinosaurs.

Students, while studying the rolls of pollinators and plants, explore co-evolution of mutualistic relationships.

Students examine an area overrun by English Ivy. They explore how invasive species affect an ecosystem. They also study about the lack of biodiversity and how to measure it out in the field.

Pupils discuss the Endangered Species Act and its impact on people and the environment. They read the act and watch video footage. They examine why sea turtles are endangered and efforts to protect them. They analyze numerical results of...

Students use roll playing to discuss the merits of tearing down these dams so that the Elwha River can run free. The activity is presented in the form of a council meeting to encourage students to try to build consensus in finding...

Pupils explore volcanoes, locate them on maps, record general information about volcanoes, and organize information on a fact sheet.

Pupils create a model of the distances of the planets in the solar system using sheets of toilet paper and markers. Generally accepted orbital parameters are applied.

Students research the nine planets in the solar system. They play a board gram like tic-tac-toe using the names of the planets. Factual info is given to help play the game.. This sounds like a fun review game.

Learners identify the Earth-Moon relationship and the phases of the Moon. They participate in an activity that illustrates why the Moon has so many different looks within a lunar cycle. They discuss solar and lunar eclipses.

Students discuss what plants require in order to grow, identify plant parts and their functions and discuss a video about plants. They conduct a controlled experiment with bean seeds and then record and observe the bean plants.
