Fourth graders study the properties of heat in this series of lessons. They discuss sources of heat and experiment to determine its properties. They identify insulators and conductors by measuring temperatures, and graphing their data....

In this geography word puzzle worksheet, students read 10 clues pertaining to geography terms. Students place the answers in a word puzzle grid. This is intended for ESL use but could be used by all.

Young scholars investigate buoyancy, displacement and density.  In this flotation lesson students study the Archimedes' Principle, analyze data and draw conclusions. 

Students measure the heat of physical and chemical changes in reactions.  In this chemistry lesson students determine at what extent changes emit or absorb heat. 

Students simulate an agriculture project. For this sequencing lesson, students observe their classroom pumpkin patch, make journal entries, and predict how the pumpkins will grow. They discuss as a class how to keep their pumpkins safe...

Seventh graders design and conduct experiments to determine what environmental factors favor decomposition by soil microbes. They use chunks of carrot for the materials to be decomposed, and their experiments are carried out in plastic...

Fifth graders diagram and label the parts of a tree. For this lesson on how trees obtain food, 5th graders diagram and label the parts of a tree, and determine the diameter, height, and age of a tree.

Students identify the physical and chemical properties and explore the differences.  In physical and chemical property lesson students test polymers for the differences between the physical and chemical properties, record their...

Learners observe and measure a model of slow down slope movement.  In this graphing lesson students collect, record, and organize data that apply to models.   

High schoolers map connections among raw materials. For this environmental stewardship lesson, students design strategies to minimize the use of raw materials and discuss how to use more sustainable materials.

Students have trout in their classroom and complete journaling, checklists, temperature checking, and ammonia level recording. In this trout lesson plan, take weekly observation records of their trout.

Students participate in hands-on acticities to understand how native plants and animals arrived on Hawaii from long distances without the assistance of man. They then identify what characterizes a plant or animal as native vs. non-native.

Students explore the final events and end of World War II. They examine the community impact of such events as the dropping of the dropping of atomic bombs, and President Roosevelt's death. Students prepare a presentation.

Students conduct experiments designed to detect the presence of CO2 by using a BTB that changes color (blue to yellow) in the presence of CO2. First, students experiment with the CO2 from combining vinegar and baking soda. In part two,...

Middle schoolers consider the implications of waste. In this waste streams lesson plan, students learn what waste streams are and identify their impact on the environment. Middle schoolers also recycle waste materials to create...

Students identify whole numbers through the one millions place. In this place value lesson, students read the book The Day Without Math and use place value mats to create numbers to the millions place. Students use base ten blocks during...

Ninth graders examine the three worm phyla. In this classification lesson, 9th graders observe, compare and contrast the planarian, tapeworm, and fluke.

Students study the characteristics of organisms that are a part of the phylum Chordata.  In this organisms lesson students identify mammals that are native to Saskatchewan.

First graders explore biology by identifying plant anatomy in class. In this botany lesson, 1st graders read the book The Little Red Hen and identify the methods used in order to grow successful plants. Students discuss other ways people...

First graders investigate the origins of vegetables. In this Science lesson, 1st graders identify where fruits and vegetables come from. Students describe how people utilize plants.

Students discover how toys often illustrate fundamental physical principles. The toy drinking bird is an example. The challenge for you in the lab is to discover why the drinking bird functions.

Students investigate what dissolved oxygen is and why it is important to aquatic life and what factors influence levels of dissolved oxygen in a lake. They study how to use MS Excel to make charts to show trends and correlations.

Students experience and practice compositing and recycling through hands-on-activities. They distinguish between which items from their trash can be recycled, composted and reused. The process for making recycled paper is also covered in...

Students predict the behavior of coffee in a cup while it is dropped during a demonstration. They relate their observations to the weightless conditions that astronauts experience in space and discuss the concept of free-fall.
