Young scholars discuss and compare what type of fluids will fill up a beaker first. For this chemistry lesson, students differentiate between pouring glue and water and which will fill the beaker first. They discuss the viscosity of each...

Students investigate quality products. In this Physical Science lesson plan, students will test three different types of caulking. The students are looking for the caulk with the best adhesion after two days of curing.

Students study the history of the light bulb and how an incandescent light bulb works.  For this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on the light bulb.

Students investigate the different types of batteries and how they work.  In this energy lesson students experiment with batteries and see which ones last the longest.

Learners design an experiment to determine the best conditions for molds growth. In this biology instructional activity, students collect data for a week and analyze their findings. They create a presentation and share them with the class.

Tenth graders complete a directed study, form the internet, and then complete activities.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Pupils study the weather conditions before, during, and after cold front passage. Two cold front examples are provided so that comparisons can be made. They are divided in two large groups. Each group studies a different cold front case.

Students observe and compare heat loss in different objects with surface-to-volume ratios. They transfer this comparison to the physical characteristics of animals in their environment. They focus on how whales maintain their body heat.

Fourth graders interpret the weather data they gathered in Investigation 6. They take an average of each component in each season. They compare the same components of each season and write the differences they see between the seasons.

Students examine estuaries in Delaware. They, in groups, gather samples of water to find organisms and identify them.

Students identify important aspects of water quality such as slainity and turbidity. They test two of the water quality parameters and determine the quality of the water. In addition, they construct two sets of graphs based on data...

Students determine if the angle of light bombardment is a factor in heat absorption. They correlate these findings to the tilt of the Earth and the seasons. Students fold a pice of black construction paper in half, lengthwise. They tape...

In this math worksheet, 6th graders use the time at home in order to work on the skill of recording data in the form of daily activities and statistics.

In this chemistry overview worksheet, students review stoichiometry, states of matter, thermochemistry, gas laws, chemical bonding, molarity, chemical equilibria, and kinetics. This worksheet has 41 problems to solve.

Fourth graders examine severe weather in Utah. They utilize a variety of sources; websites, newspapers, TV coverage and perform research to study the severe weather patterns ffound in Utah.

Students create graphic organizer webs that illustrate their thinking about seasonal physical and biological changes caused by changes in sunlight. They identify the central role of sunlight in living systems.

Students build and test a type of communication system called a parabolic-dish receiver. This type of system is exactly like radio telescopes, which are discussed in our song. They explain how signals are transmitted and captured with...

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.

Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

Young scholars identify greenhouse gases. They explain why perfluorocarbons are a bad alternative to chlorofluorcarbons. They determine both the least and most influential greenhouse gases.

Students examine the interrelationship between trees, soil and people focusing on urban areas. They collect and analyze data about trees in their research area.

Students investigate the effect of different container materials on heat transfer; draws a conclusion about the best insulator; and applies concept to a new, seemingly quite different problem.

Students comprehend the importance of keeping cold foods cold. They identify the proper way to install and read a fridge thermometer. Students develop the ability to maintain a clean fridge at home.
