Use the scientific method to experiment with an egg. Your class can examine buoyancy and density by finding how many spoons of salt are needed to float an egg. They can predict, experiment, record data, and analyze results.

Students examine and hypothesize about hard cooked and raw eggs before experimenting to see which one cracks more easily when dropped in a bucket. They open both eggs and compare them using a Venn diagram. They design a presentation...

Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. For this buoyancy lesson, students utilize freshwater, saltwater, plastic cups, hard boiled eggs and food coloring to experiment with the floating capabilities of salt...

Students investigate plate tectonics by observing a cracked egg shell.  In this Earth science lesson plan, students draw borders of continents on an egg shell, only to watch it crack in a glass.  Students record the breakup of...

Students participate in four scientific experiments with eggs. They discuss egg vocabulary, and examine the eggs' attributes through the experiments. They focus on making educated guesses.

Sixth graders identify air pressure and how it affects objects. They experiment with one hard boiled egg in a bottle and the affects of air pressure on the egg.

Third graders use oil, feathers, eggs, rubber bands, and more to create a simulated oil spill and then clean it up. In this oil spill lesson plan, 3rd graders discuss what their cleaning process is like and how the oceans are effected...

Learners conduct a science experiment to determine whether a variety of objects will sink or float. They discuss the concept of density, and then make predictions about whether the objects will sink or float. They then conduct the...

Students complete a hands on activity using hard boiled eggs, food coloring, tape, cups, water, and a knife to show how permeability affects animals. For this permeability lesson plan, students complete this activity and learn how...

Ninth graders conduct research on the subject of sea water. They use a variety of resources to obtain information. There are helpful resource links listed in the lesson. In conjunction with the research students make inquiry of the...

ESL students experiment with eggs to learn the science concepts and science process language.

Fifth graders are introduced to Newton's First Law of Motion. In groups, they describe the differences between balanced and unbalanced forces. They participate in experiments that demonstrate how equal and opposite forces act upon...

Pupils experiment floating a variety of objects in various liquids. They discover how density affects the ability of an object to float and apply the concept of density to solve problems.

Students participate in a series of experiments to learn about plate tectonics and the different materials of the Earth. In this plate tectonics lesson plan, students use eggs, water, beakers, paper, and more materials to learn about the...

Learners conduct experiments with fruit falling from playground equipment to explain the effects of falling off playground equipment.

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 investigate how to denature proteins. In this denaturing protein lesson plan, students explore the different ways to denature proteins in the lab. They use heat, acids and bases, organic compounds and heavy metals to denature...

Students learn about dental health.  In this dental health instructional activity, students relate the eggshell to the enamel of the tooth.  Students experiment with four drinks to see the effects on the tooth. Students listen...

Students examine physics. In this air movement lesson, students conduct an experiment that shows how air moves based on the pressure it's under. They watch the teacher complete the procedure and then try it on their own in a small group....

Students investigate how to see, describe and draw faint or subtle features on an object which is thought of by most people as having a smooth, featureless surface. The exercise is important to reinforce skills in making observations...

First graders study community helpers, paying special attention to dentists, in this multi-day lesson. They determine what these helpers do and listen to a book before completing observations and experiments.

Youngsters are assigned the task of interviewing a family member or a neighbor and asking them about any genetic disorders that are present in their family history. They pretend that they are about to have a baby that is carrying a...

Fifth graders watch a demonstration in which a balloon is inflated using the gas created by combining vinegar and baking soda. Then, in groups, they combine various assigned substances and watch and record the results.

Students investigate various chemical reactions when creating mixtures in ziplock baggies. In this chemistry instructional activity, students will recognize various chemical reactions and cite evidence. Safety and assessment strategies...
