Pupils use a balloon, cardboard support, and wooden ping pong channel to complet an experiment to answer the question "Does Air do Work?" They complete a worksheet to demonstrate knowledge of the concept after the lab.

Students work in groups and view a rubber band demonstration.  In this friction lesson students then complete the experiment themselves.

Learners participate in an experiment to demonstrate how a substance can have different concentrations in a solution. Students record observations on a dilution chart and determine the concentations of various parts per million.

Second graders use fruit to conduct an observation experiment. They use the skills of observation to write down different facts about three different fruits looking at the outside and inside contents. Students explain two things they...

Students describe weather conditions and climates. They describe patterns of changing weather and how they are measured. Students explain and predict general weather patterns and storms. They use this experiment as a safe and easy way to...

Learners experiment to determine the positive and negative impacts of human activities on environmental change. They examine how physical and biological processes such as decomposition affect soil characteristics while looking at the pH...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the effects of soil color on its day and night time temperatures. In small groups, they prepare dishes of black soil, brown peat moss, and white sand. They record the temperature changes when a...

Students explore the main concepts of astronomy through the eleven lessons of this unit. The past, present, and future methods of studying the science are examined in this unit.

High schoolers participate in an experiment in which they test the cleanliness of the lab tables. They practice using different materials and analyze their results. They answer comprehension questions to end the lesson.

Students explore the life forms that live in the hot springs of Yellowstone. They examine how microscopic creatures can survive in these extreme conditions. Students perform experiments to observe growth samples and demonstrate how a...

Students explore the concept of freezing point in an experiment that shows why salt is effective at clearing ice from roadways in the winter. In small groups, they compare the process of making homemade ice cream in plastic bags with and...

Young scholars create a foldable to help them remember topics on chemical compounds. In this physical science instructional activity, students differentiate ionic and covalent compounds. Given certain compounds, they identify whether...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the distance between touch receptor fields in parts of the right-hand side of the body. They enter data into the data table.

Young scholars watch a video about aquatic communities. They conduct an experiment that shows how movement of rivers change the landscape. They compare fresh and salt water communities and its wildlife.

Students conduct experiments to study the quality of water. They examine how pollutants get into and affect the water supply in this unit.

Students examine the concepts of light and chlorophyll. They participate in an experiment in which the chlorophyll shows as a red ring on the test tube. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.

Students investigate the concept of an aquifer and use a 2 liter bottle and other materials to conduct a simple lab experiment or demonstration. They calculate the volume of water that can be stored in the aquifer. The lab is used to...

Students explore calories. In this lesson about calories, students practice counting and recording calories. Students use a sample Calorie Calculation Chart to record how many calories consumed in one day. Students do an experiment on...

In this sounds learning exercise, students choose one of five activities to do at home with parents. Students experiment with making sounds with natural objects, list "noisy" foods or count all the outdoor sounds that can be heard.

Students differentiate physical and chemical changes. In this chemistry lesson, students identify five indicators that a chemical change took place. They complete a reflection journal at the end of the activity.

Students conduct an experiment to control the breeding of Japanese Medaka fish. They collect the fertilized eggs and view and record the fish's embryological development daily to compare the stages to human development.
