Third graders discuss how Aristotle concluded that the Earth was round. As a class, they review theories about the Earth's shape and describe how life on Earth would be different if it were flat. Individually, they make a moon book in...

In this Bohr model worksheet, students read about Neils Bohr and the model he proposed of the atom. Students answer nine questions about his theory that electrons travel in orbitals and give off energy when they are excited.

Make reviewing evolution, cell division, genetics, cell structure, and scientific method more fun! Science Jeopardy allows teams to choose a category for the question they will address. If you complete the entire game, learners will have...

How does all this math fit together? The resource creates a graphical view of the extent of mathematics. The map shows the pure and applied sides of studying mathematics and breaks them down into their many disciplines.

Physics and math are closely associated in the science community. High schoolers use information in the video to determine how derivatives and calculus help them understand our local environment. They complete problems that relate to...
