In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders review the vocabulary associated with the special segments of a triangle and the associated points of concurrency and solve problems in which they find the indicated missing angle or segment.  The...

Students find percents and unit price using popcorn.

Learners analyze the size of the universe and calculate the time to travel to near and distant destinations.

Students, after researching and brainstorming about aquifers and locating aquifer maps of Texas, participate in the building of a model of an aquifer complete with a pumping station. They also answer a variety of questions at the...

In this atom worksheet, students learn about the scanning tunneling microscope and answer questions about its use, how it works and its ability to see electrons in atoms.

Learners make observations. In this sensory skills lesson plan, students use their senses as well as tools that sharpen their senses to make observations regarding foods and other items.

Eighth graders use a geologic cross section to study the rock cycle of the Gettysburg battlefield. In this rock cycle lesson, 8th graders connect the rock cycle and continental rifting.

Learners discover the reproductive parts of a plant.  In this biology lesson plan, students identify and categorize several different plants they dissect in class.  Learners record their information using a data chart.

Fifth graders examine how environmental factors affect decomposition. In this decomposition lesson, 5th graders experiment with the decomposition of grapes in five different environmental settings. They look at images of items that have...

Students describe how inclined plane and pulleys make work easier. In this physics lesson, students calculate work done and mechanical advantage of both simple machines. They collect data from the experiment and construct graphs.

Middle schoolers consider various scientific research in order to arrive at their own conclusions as to whether global warming is occurring and if it constitutes a problem.

Eleventh graders analyze and interpret an animated model of Earth’s rifting processes.  In this Earth Science lesson, 11th graders connect Earth’s rifting processes with the Earth’s surface in the Gettysburg battlefield.  Students apply...

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

Young scholars discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl...

Students study the significance of the quantum model and how scientific theories adapt over time.  In this investigative lesson students describe the contributions that scientists have helped develop the atomic theory and identify the...

Students collect water samples from designated sampling stations, and discuss water pollution. They analyze the water samples, record the data on a spreadsheet, and present the environmental water quality data to the class.

Third graders investigate ants and anthills in this series of lessons. They create their own Ant Farm.

Third graders recognize and examine ecosystems. They observe and describe habitats within ecosystems and observe and identify organisms with similar needs that compete for resources.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students explore the density of soap. In this science lesson, students conduct an experiment to find which types of soap will float. Students make a hypothesis and record their observations.

Sixth graders create a PowerPoint presentation using information that they have compiled from their web search and rubric web sites, text and other applicable references. They work in pairs to complete these searches and projects.

Third graders sort and classify the four Arthropod classes. They are given puzzle pieces of one Arthropod example. Each group is to put their puzzle together, glue it on a piece of construction paper and label the ir puzzle.

Students review the components of the scientific inquiry method. In groups, they develop hypothesis on a variety of different topics and design an investigation or experiment to test it. They share their conclusions with the class and...

Students work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...
