Students hypothesize about the amount of carbon dioxide in soda bottles. In this chemistry lesson, students design an experiment to solve the problem. They share findings in class.

High schoolers separate food coloring using liquid chromatography. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain the effects of different solvents on the rate of separation.

Students investigate the question: In what ways can a common household products hurt you? This instructional activity integrates with drug and alcohol units in science classes as well as language arts in the form of the Public Service...

Students research the mechanics of liquid chromatography. In this technology lesson, students calculate the concentration of unknown samples. They write a report about their research and lab results.

Learners identify several properties of water as a universal substance, describe the composition of several complex color mixtures and separate the components of dye using chromatographic technique.

Students design an appropriate and usable storyboard and then create a claymation video. They take digital photographs frame by frame, then assemble the stop-motion movie using video software.

Fifth graders develop a colony to be evaluated by the teacher in the role of a "Royal Inspector". In this social studies lesson plan, 5th graders design aspects of a successful society by planning forms of government, politics, and an...

Students research specific answers to questions about air pollution. In this air pollution lesson, students share information to fully understand the causes of air pollution. Students role play individuals from different groups to...

Students investigate friction between different surfaces. In this physics instructional activity, students research biomaterials that can reduce friction. They calculate efficiency using a mathematical formula.

Students identify the different components of a given sample using chromatography. In this chemistry instructional activity, students compare paper and column chromatography. They collect data and construct data tables.

Students study four samples of "rain water". They asked to determine the pH of the samples and then to neutralize them. Students are asked to predict any negative effects which might be associated with water having a low pH and to...

Students experiment with colors.  In this art instructional activity, students investigate the combinations that can be made with primary colors using chromatography paper and markers.  Students complete a color mixing...

Learners explain the process of polymerization. In this chemistry lesson plan, students produce carboxylesterase in the lab. They test its effectiveness in removing the by-product odor.

Students conduct a variety of exploration activities on various science topics. For this science lesson outline, students design a cell encapsulation to hold a specific type of medicine. They give examples of physical and chemical...

Students create a water filter according to given criteria. I this chemistry lesson, students evaluate the importance of water in their lives. They develop a book or brochure on the water treatment process.

Students explain the importance of water in our daily lives. For this aquatic science lesson, students identify different ways to purify water and make it potable. They design and construct a water filter based on researched information.

Students explain the importance of the five main biogeochemical cycles. In this chemistry lesson plan, students discuss how ions are transported in the environment. They design an experiment to collect data on eutrophication.
