Students explore things that are their size, literally. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their bodies for measuring and comparing sizes as they work in pairs to complete the activity.

Unlock the mystery behind seasonal change with a collection of worksheets and activities. Whether they are drawing pictures of Earth's orbit around the sun or graphing the temperature and daylight hours of different locations...

Help learners determine the rate of change for the temperature of sand. They will collect data on the temperature of wet and dry sand over time with a heat lamp overhead. Then make a scatter plot of the data and find a linear model to...

Would you work for a penny today? Use this activity to highlight the pattern of increase in an exponential function. Scholars compare two options of being paid: one linear and one exponential. Depending on the number of days worked, they...

Students explore how to graph sunspots using a solar graph.  In this sunspots lesson students investigate sunspots and complete and evaluation worksheet. 

Young scholars explore space science by participating in a star identification activity. In this astronomy lesson, students identify different star patterns and discuss the movement of stars across the sky as the seasons change. Young...

Learners compare graphs of their data that was generated on a NASA website.  In this seasons lesson students complete a lab activity. 

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 instructional...

Learners explore the concept of frost depth. In this frost depth lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to use a frost tube to measure, record, and graph frost depth data.

High schoolers identify the factors affecting friction. For this physics lesson, students construct their own rocket car and race them. They graph the average speeds and discuss how lubricants affect friction between rubbing surfaces.

Fourth graders explore the earth's revolution around the sun and the changes in weather that follow this motion.

Fourth graders plan a picnic using weather data. Using accumulated weather data from various sources, they create a graph of the weather conditions in their region for a given period of time. Students interpret this data to predict the...

Students identify the relationship between relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, students investigate and find the slope of a line using a graph, 2 points and an equation. They calculate the slope from a set a data points...

Pupils analyze a map and graph information on eleven countries. Using the characteristics of the countries, they determine if they should host the summer or winter Olympic games. After viewing a video, they locate the latitudes of the...

Children count how many of an activity they can do in a row, such as ball tossing and record the date and count. Children track over a period of time and graph results.

Students research the geography, economics and government of Canada and how that affects US/Canadian trade relations. In this NAFTA lesson, students play a game, read about Canadian history, and creat a graph.

Students demonstrate the greenhouse effect. They recognize that relatively small changes to our environment can stimulate significant climate changes. They determine that the "scientific method" is a process of testing hypotheses and...

Learners examine dinosaur footprints and compare them to the shape of elephant footprints and to the size of their own footprints.

Students review and discuss the meaning of equilibrium. As a class, they participate in a game of "The Price is Right" in which they guess the true market price of various items. They explain how shortages and surpluses tend to force...

Pupils become familiar with teh selection, evaluation, and use of instructional software for 4-8 classroom. They download software demos from the web and discuss critiquing software. Students browse software evaluations on web sites.

Young scholars examine their own perceptions and attitudes about places around the world. Using their mental maps, they compare and contrast it with a world map from different periods in history. They review the various types of map...

Students design and conduct experiments in order to identify the components of lake water environments that are affected by winter ice cover. They use the experiment results to propose effective human management of these ecosystems.
