Students compare the evolution theories of Lamarck and Darwin. They use self-assessment and a video to increase their knowledge of evolution theories. They research questions and present them to the class.

Middle schoolers investigate the validity of da Vinci's proportion theory by recording human measurements on scatter plots. In groups of three, they record each other's height and wingspan to create a Powerpoint presentation, chart, or...

Two scientists, two independent studies, two similar theories! A video lesson presents the work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace that led to their theories on evolution. Scholars then evaluate statements and provide evidence to...

Sixth graders explore the basics of color mixing with paint by creating secondary and tertiary colors. Individually, 6th graders create their own paintings based on a popular series of sculptures.

Young scholars explore the concept of the Vitruvian theory.  In this Vitruvian theory lesson, students collect data from their classmates about their arm span and height.   Young scholars compare their ratios of arm span...

Students study the significance of the quantum model and how scientific theories adapt over time.  In this investigative instructional activity students describe the contributions that scientists have helped develop the atomic...

High schoolers research the history of the theory of evolution and make a comparative timeline of events in world history and in the history of evolutionary theory.

Students examine cell structures in depth. They decide what grade they want to work for and do the assignments for that grade. They complete various assignments on cell theory and organelles.

Students listen to the teacher introduce VSEPR theory and explain molecular geometry. They use balloons to visualize the shape of orbitals. Students create visuals of molecular orbitals with strings and balloons.

The famous Japanese tune, "Cherry Blooms" was composed using a pentatonic scale. Budding musicians explore the nature and theory behind the pentatonic scale as well as the East Asian music it is commonly used in. Multiple extensions are...

Find the best path through town. The activity teaches future computer programmers about networks and paths in graph theory. They develop a network of their towns to determine the most efficient path to visit each of their homes.

Students examine the history of the game theory. They practice using new vocabulary. They write about the debate on exchange using different viewpoints.

Students investigate relative mass using 8 different items. In this relative masses lesson plan, students discuss as a class John Dalton's atomic theory. They take the masses of the 8 items and record their data. They discuss relative...

Sixth graders conduct an experiment to understand the Big Bang Theory.  In this Big Bang Theory lesson, 6th graders will observe a balloon with confetti popping to emulate and analyze information related tot he Big Bang theory....

Students explore graph theory.  In this geometry instructional activity,  graphs are used to solve problems in a variety of domains.  In this instructional activity the term graph refers to a collection of...

Learners are introduced to Gaia theory of natural homeostasis. They graph Earth's temperatures over time, construct terrariums or monitor the outdoor environment. Related videos titles are suggested, but may be outdated. The objectives...

Students explore the Big Bang Theory and discover how it can be used to explain the origin of the universe. For this Big Bang Theory lesson, students use a balloon with colored paper inside, blow it up and pop it, group the colored...

Ever wonder how the Internet works? The instructional activity teaches scholars the basics of graph theory and how it applies to the Internet. They perform simulations to see how information is sent on the Internet.
