We're Recording
Students record their experiments or lessons using a video camera. In this technology instructional activity, students explain to the camera what they have learned. They watch these together to help reinforce a instructional activity.
Curated OER
Make Your Own Quick Sand
Students create a quick sand model using cornflour and water. In this earth science instructional activity, students explain why stirring the mixture quickly makes it thick but the opposite happens when you stir it slowly.
Curated OER
Lab Safety
Learners investigate the concept of lab safety using a variety of different activities. The equipment necessary is covered. They draw the different types of lab tools using a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
On the Surface Of Things
The purpose of this unit is for students to engage in thinking about the links between science and art. We want to provide students with the opportunity to see original artifacts related to natural occurances.

Listen Closely!
Students conduct a scientific experiment and make observations about the composition and sounds of pennies to determine the year in which the penny's makeup was changed. They graph their outcomes to chart results.
Curated OER
Charting Evaporation
Students observe the concept of evaporation. In this evaporation lesson plan, students observe this by either charting as the sun evaporates water over time, or watching a boiling pot steam.
Curated OER
Science: Leaf Study
First graders go on a leaf-hunting expedition around the schoolyard. They determine from which trees they fell using identification cards. Students read several books about leaves and apply their artistic skills by using the collected...
Curated OER
Cut Ice Cubes in Half Like Magic
Students explore the process of melting or cutting ice. In this scientific observation instructional activity, students discover that the pressure from two weights will pull a string through an ice cube by melting the ice directly under...
Curated OER
Make A Crystal Snowflake!
Students make a crystal snowflake decoration out of string, pipe cleaners, food coloring, boiling water, and more. In this snowflake lesson plan, students let it dry over night and see crystals in the morning.

Amazing Adaptations - Probing Pinnipeds
Fourth graders collect data about the habitats of pinniped adaptations using digital probes. They determine how pinnipeds make adaptations to their natural environment by completing an experiment to determine how human and pinniped...
Curated OER
Simple Machines
Third graders are introduced to the six types of simple machines and discover how they make tasks easier. In groups, they rotate between stations to experiment with the different types of simple machines. To end the lesson plan, they...
Curated OER
Science Detectives
Fifth graders examine the differences between chemical and physical changes. As a class, they are read a scenerio and determine whether it was deliberate act or not. In groups, they observe the changes of an alka-seltzer tablet and...
Curated OER
Hygiene Potato Graphs
Fifth graders discuss the importance of proper hygiene. After watching their teacher peel potatoes, they discuss why she was wearing rubber gloves. They demonstrate how to wash their hands properly and why one should never touch...
Curated OER
Animal Camouflage
Students investigate how animals adapt to their environment. In this animal science lesson, students participate in an experiment using patterned paper and plain paper to simulate how animals blend into their surroundings. Students...
Curated OER
String Instruments and Pitch
Young scholars make predictions and explore how pitch is altered in string instruments. In this acoustic science lesson, students learn the types and parts of string instruments and create their own. They listen to classical music and...
