Students use this lesson to focus on population growth and the threat of overpopulation. In groups, they analyze the world birth and death rates to determine the growth rate of the population. As a class, they discuss the causes and...

Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...

Pupils explore how to locate the location of an earthquake and why earthquakes happen more frequently in some areas more than others.

Touchdown! This is an exponentially insightful lesson that explores the growth of football games with different video game consoles. Class members discuss whether the increase of mergahertz can be described as linear or exponential....

Students explore lift and Bernoulli's Principle using a relational causal model. Using paper and straws, they investigate lift and relate Bernoulli's Principle to everday occurences.

Students design and create a worm and worm free compost tanks for observation of decay in ecosystems. They make predictions, care, and revist tanks using their journals for observation and data collection.

Students work in cooperative pairs to create a series circuit and a parallel circuit. Students compare and contrast the two different types of circuits using worksheets that are included.

Reflections are the geometric mirror. Pupils explore this concept as they discover the properties of reflections. They focus on the coordinates of the reflections and look for patterns. This is the third lesson in a seven-part series.

Students compare models depicting air pressure, They determine which model best conveys the omnidirectional and passive nature of air pressure

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Learners explore air pressure. They observe what happens when you drink from a straw. Students experiment and create models to prove examine air pressure and vacuums. Slearners contrast how linear and relational casusal models explain...

Students explore simple circuits. Students conduct a variety of experiments to discover their level of conductivity. Students summarize and explain experimental findings. Students are introduced to passive causality.

Students examine and identify the characteristics of the biomes of the world. Using the Internet, they compare and contrast the similarities and differences and discover how living things are supported in the biomes. They discuss how the...

Thank goodness we have calculators to compute logarithms. Pupils use calculators to create logarithmic tables to estimate values and use these tables to discover patterns (properties). The second half of the lesson has scholars use given...

Start by watching a video entitled Do You Speak American? and respond to discussion questions about the various dialects showcased throughout the video to identify the regional linguistic styles throughout America. As a culminating...

Students examine why air pressure is hard to notice. They observe the height of a liquid in a tube over time and lift a table with balloons.

Students define density as a relationship. Through experimentation, they explore the association between the mass and volume of pure substances. Students create a data plot and analyze the patterns between mass and volume. Students...

Students organize and analyze data regarding changes in tropospheric ozone and then hypothesize about the consequences of these changes.

Students examine how migration affects population change. In groups, they create a list of reasons why adults change residences and research migratory patterns among older adults. They explain the effects of migration of senior members...

Young scholars explore the concept of how air moves and reflect through working in groups about the scientific concept. This lesson is an extension to another similar lesson. Also students develop and draw their own models.

Students study passive causal agents, such as air pressure, in a system. They conceptualize air pressure as passive and omnidirectional, with molecules that make up the air bouncing off surfaces with which they have contact in all...

Students explore how temperature is related to air pressure and introduces students to Charles' Law through the lens of relational causality.

Young scholars monitor rainfall, compute daily averages, and compare their methods of computation to those used by actual researchers using satellite observations.

Students investigate Ohm's Law. Through experimentation, students observe Ohm's law. Using the voltage and resistance, students calculate with Ohm's law. Students collaborate in other activities to apply Ohm's Law to series and...
