Students observe and compare heat loss in various objects with surface area-to-volume ratios and transfer this comparison to the physical characteristics of animals in their environment. In small groups they conduct an experiment...

In this atoms worksheet, students determine the velocity, wavelength, power, and frequency of given atoms. Student describe wave-particle duality and give the principle and angular quantum numbers for given orbitals. This worksheet has...

Students examine water, its function and how much you should consume.  In this water lesson students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body. 

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

Students are exposed to the benefits of many antimicrobial soaps to prevent infections. In the food-service industry, studies indicate that inadequate hand washing and cross-contamination is responsible

Middle schoolers discuss reasons and methods for keeping a home warm in winter and cool in summer as examples of energy storage. Students participate in a solar energy experiment.

Students develop the skill of recording weather observations. Not only students be responsible for recording visual observations of the sky, but also collecting and recording weather instrument data.

Students explain that air pressure applies a force. If any of students have flown in an airplane, they have felt the "popping" of their ears caused by the change in atmospheric pressure because of the altitude changes.

Students conduct an experiment to evaluate the accuracy of their senses.

Students determine the heat energy needed to vaporize (boil) one gram of liquid nitrogen.

Third graders set up a miniature greenhouse to help them explain how nonliving things affect the growth of living things.

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

Students predict the location where the relative humidity the highest and lowest in and around their school. They use a sling psychrometer to measure the relative humidity of the various locations.

Students examine the phases of the water cycle and water's different forms it can have. They work in groups to create pantomimes to illustrate the water cycle to their classmates.

Students begin the experiment by mapping and calculating their school parking lot. They calculate the volume of water falling on the lot and map the route the water runoff takes. They discuss the roles that humans play in affecting water...

Students study classification schemes for identifying sunspots. They distinguish between sunspot unbrae and penunbrae, measure sunspots, and compare them to the size of the Earth. They complete a worksheet showing classification of...

Young scholars examine pieces of pottery as they role play archaeologists. They use cutouts and examine them for markings. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

Students examine the energy saving benefits of trees. They identify ways in which trees reduce air pollution. They also work together to solve problems related to pollution.

Students investigate the concept of weather and how it is created. They review relevant vocabulary related to weather. Students predict weather given slight background knowledge. The lesson plan includes background information for the...

Students classify rocks into groups after they observe the rocks and identify properties that can be used to divide them into groups. They then identify other properties that could be used to classify other objects into groups.

Young scholars use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Learners examine blackbody radiation and light wavelengths. Students research the various types of electromagnetic spectrum. Learners examine any misconceptions they may have in light.

Pupils investigate the scientific concept of forming clouds. The use simple materials to simulate the formation. This creates a powerful visual for students to make cognitive connections. They make observations and record them in a lab...
