Students are introduced to the concept of magnetism and investigate the properties of magnets. In this magnetism lesson, students identify a magnet then examine why certain things are attracted to magnets and some things are repelled by...

High schoolers complete a series of activities related to forms of energy. In this energy lesson plan, students look at forms of energy in their school, how energy is conserved and used efficiently, how magnets are used to generate...

Students investigate magnetic permeability and saturation. In this physics lesson plan, students explain how current carrying wire coils create magnetic forces. They interpret normal magnetization curves.

An MRI uses both a magnetic and electricity, so how do the two interact with each other? Class members observe the effects on a charged particle when it is subject to both an electrical and magnetic field. The teacher background...

Student explore the relationship of static electricity to current electricity, circuits, electromagnets, electro generators, and public electric utilities. In this Green Team lesson plan, 4th graders participate in hands-on science...

Seventh graders convert measurements in recipes to metric measurements and prepare the food items. They create a metric measurement cookbook.

Third graders explore place value to the ten thousands place. This incredibly thorough, 24-page lesson plan has learners construct, order, and compare numbers to 9,999. This three-day lesson plan includes reteaching and extension...

Young biologists identify parts of the body, sort humans from other animals, and list the difference they see. Learners are split up into groups of three, and each group must find pictures in magazines of humans and other animals. They...

Seventh graders research on energy conversion. After they have researched several types of energy resources, teams of two to four create posters which depict how these resources can be conserved.

Students define specific waste materials that could be used as aggregate in concrete. In this aggregate and waste lesson plan, students brainstorm on how to incorporate waste in construction and define different aggregate materials.

Learners watch video, The Elements, research information about elements using both the Internet and CD-ROM program, and create atoms out of gumdrops and licorice.

Learners are assigned to groups, and determine each member's role in the group. They will design an experiment to determine a way to produce the three primary and five secondary colors. Students discuss color and mood. They listen to a...

Students compare and contrast renewable and nonrenewable energy. In this environmental science lesson, students discuss the importance of going green. They identify the different components in a power grid system.
