Investigate how temperature affects the density of water and stratification that occurs in bodies of water when temperatures vary. Water of differing temperatures is given different colors to see the layers that form. The lesson plan is...

Ecology candidates culture pond water organisms over a few days time, then they experiment to find out how increasing nutrients affects the population. As part of a unit on water, this exploration gives your class an understanding of how...

High schoolers observe the interactions of different temperatures of water using colored ice and a thermometer and then compare the results with global ocean current solar heating. They identify where floating ice would be found in the...

Use the pump from a spray bottle to drive a model of the heart in action! In addition to modeling the function of the heart and blood vessels, aspiring anatomists also simulate arterial blockage. They compare the effects of increased...

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

Students explain that ants are an important element of nature's balance. Ants eat many insects and are food to other animals. They watch a video and conduct hands-on activities that give them an excellent overview of the ants role in...

Students complete activities to learn about rainbows and the importance of dairy in their diet. In this sense and diet lesson, students discuss rainbow colors, the importance of sight, and the importance of dairy in a healthy diet....

Young scholars observe an experiment where a pot of ice is held over a pot of boiling water. They predict what will happen and then share what they see as the experiment takes place. Then the concept of condensation and precipitation is...

Fourth graders perform a lab activity in which they examine the external structure of a preserved fish and find out why fish can survive and live in water. They perform a lab which is guided by a worksheet imbedded in this plan.

Students identify fiber from foods, its sources and function in the body. They also the importance of fiber in the diet and good food sources that one can eat. Finally, students discuss water and its importance with eating fiber and...

Learners examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Students explore fish adaptations and anatomy. In this science lesson, students discuss various adaptations of fish and how those adaptations help them.

Fifth graders compare physical and chemical changes. They perform a simulation experiment/activity that replicates what happens in the stomach as food is digested by stomach acids.

Students are introduced to the anatomy of the inside and outside of a clam before dissecting the animal. During the dissection, they label and identify the function of each part they see including the outside of the clam. They complete...

Students investigate the mixtures of solutions. They utilize cups filled with bases and acids. Students test and determine the pH of each cup. The multiple cups are compared to each other in order to chart acids and bases according to pH...
