Feel the pull of science! The final installment of this 18-part series is an application of everything learned in the previous high school lessons. Scholars are given a magnetic field map and must propose an arrangement of magnets that...

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of...

Students investigate the mechanics of an fMRI and the properties of neurons. In this biology lesson plan, students analyze the way the brain works by performing tests in the neurons in the brain. This is all done theoretically.

An MRI uses both a magnetic and electricity, so how do the two interact with each other? Class members observe the effects on a charged particle when it is subject to both an electrical and magnetic field. The teacher background...

Students use the Launchball computer site to complete a game for magnetic pennies. In this magnetism lesson, students visit the given link to discover the properties of magnetism using magnets and pennies.

Students examine ways positive and negative charges are attracted and repelled by watching teacher demonstrations, and complete activity sheet related to classroom demonstration activities to prove proficiency of knowledge of...

Students learn and practice identifying Earth's minerals and their properties. Working in small groups, they evaluate minerals. This is a well-described lesson, which students enjoy.

Students explore physics by experimenting with classic toys. In this physical science lesson plan, students utilize gliders, energy balls, bouncing balls, marbles and other toys to explore how they work. Students explore each toy at a...

Students draw diagram of sun and its layers, including photosphere, chromosphere, corona, convection and radiative zones, and core. Students then describe each layer in their own words, define sun spot cycle, and describe solar flares.

Students explore volcanoes. In this science lesson, students discuss the characteristics of volcanoes and view a video segment about a volcano. Students examine plate tectonics.

Students sort a variety of manipulatives and use a software program that provides more sorting practice.

Students practice the commutative property, create and manipulate arrays and multiply and divide numbers.

Students investigate the environment by examining mineral characteristics.  In this mineral lesson plan, students perform scientific observations in groups in which they identify minerals found in everyday objects by using a...

Students explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers lesson, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Students utilize math functions such as addition and...
