Young scholars use weather measuring devices to record and study weather conditions at different locations, during different times. They attempt to draw conclusions about the relationship between weather conditions, lunar cycle and...

Students work together to test the temperatures of different soils in shade and sun. They make their own hypothesis before beginning the experiment. They record their data and discuss as a class.

Students make observations of pupa larvae to make notes on the development into the monarch butterfly. The observations teach learners about the life cycle and graphing is done to record the statistical analysis.

Students keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of monarchs. They chart the weather at the same time and location each day and analyze their weather dat in a particular category. They also chart the arrival of the...

Students keep a detailed data collection log of the different types of monarch behavior. They track the weather conditions daily and link it to the migration of the monarchs. They summarize their data using either a graph or a computer...

High schoolers keep detailed weather records during the fall migration. If they are also Observing Fall Migrants, they will be able to compare weather conditions on days that they do and do not see monarchs. Having a class record of...

Students are guided through the Scientific Method to perform observations about the pupa stage of the monarch butterfly. The results of an experiment are used to make assumptions about growth and development.

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson plan connects to the skills of graphing and...

Students answer questions about the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. The data of observations is graphed and displayed using computer technology. This is a good lesson for crossing the curriculum with mathematics.

Learners work in groups to define chemistry vocabulary including the terms reactants, products, exothermic and endothermic. They then combine the group definitions to arrive at a consensus definition for the class. Students also listen...

Students create a classification tree based on grouping candy with eight different properties. This allows students to understand how living things are classified.

Students perform an experiment using brown paper bags to determine which foods have oil in them. This task assesses student's abilities to make simple observations and inferences from them.

Students will make a circuit on a mystery card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and battery to form an electrical tester. After students learn how to make one following the directions, they can create their own mystery card by...

Young scholars make a circuit on a mystery card. They then use an electrical tester to determine where electricity flows between circles on the card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and a battery to form an electrical tester.

Students test their knowledge of electrical conductors and circuits by constructing an electric tester and using it to determine where electricity flows between circles on a mystery card.

Students make observations about Mystery Boxes that their teacher has made up and describes the motion of the object inside the box and hypothesizes it's shape based on their observations.

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

Young scholars make observations about mealworms using hand lenses, rulers, and cotton swabs. Students complete their own mealworm observation chart, then they share their observations with the class. This is one station out of five in...

Students measure the lengths of provided leafs to the nearest millimeter. Students identify trends in the data as well as sourced of inaccuracy and formulate additional questions that could be investigated to enhance their understanding.

Learners examine how a sanitary landfill is constructed, how it functions, and how waste and leachate affects the areas around the landfill. After a discussion about landfills and leachates, students construct a Sanitary Landfill Model...

Fifth graders explore weather forecasting. For a week, 5th graders observe weekly weather forcasts on different television channels. They predict which station is more accurate with their predictions. Students record and chart...

Second graders determine the total value of a collection of coins. They convert money and make money exchanges. Students create and solve money-story problems. They demonstrate the ability to summarize conversations and discussions.

Pupils complete four activities to investigate how reef ecology can change. They perform experiments to show how sewage discharge can affect a marine ecosystem, look at substances that don't dissolve in water, examine wave action...

Middle schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of water chemistry. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students also consider an experiment to observe how water has the abiility to exist as three...
