Students examine termites and their trail-marking behaviors. They draw lines on paper with various ink pens and experiment to see which types of ink the termites follow--or which inks do and do not elicit trail marking behavior.

Students work in small groups with a small set of 8 nuts and 5 bolts to assemble into combinations of 1 nut: 1 bolt, and 2 nuts: 1 bolt. They explore the outcome and discuss. Then a student mixes two clear, colorless solutions together...

Students observe life stages in flour beetles and graph the results. They write a summary report.

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Pupils work together to research a topic of interest to them. They form hypothesis and complete experiments testing them. They present their findings to the class.

Students define and explain the basic concepts of experimental design.  In this scientific method instructional activity students complete a hands on activity, develop and present proposals to test their explanations. 

Students examine the importance of aseptic technique, become familiar with media plates, and general microbiology techniques. They study the benefits and dangers of bacteria and other microorganisms in their lives.

In this word search activity, students locate words related to biology. The word list includes protists, viruses, plants, spiral, and biotechnology.

Students explore oil field applications of Shape Memory Alloys.  In this engineering instructional activity students divide into groups and research mini research applications then complete a project. 

Students brainstorm ants and their characteristics in a class discussion. They observe the ants and answer question pertaining to their behavior; then they apply the scientific method in creating and investigating a problem.

In this biology worksheet, high schoolers review the characteristics of life and the scientific method. This worksheet has 19 fill in the blank, 6 matching, and 2 short answer questions.

Eighth graders explore and demonstrate the seven steps of the scientific method. They predict how much sugar is in chewing gum and test, analyze, and calculate the sugar content of gum.

Students conduct an experiment using leaf packs.  In this leaf lesson plan students complete an activity in groups and complete a handout. 

Students discuss the concept of power and the meaning of watts.  In this experimental lesson students divide into groups, record data and calculate the results. 

Young scholars design and conduct and experiment to determine how invertebrates react to an outside stimulus such as light and other stimuli. Student must develop a clear plan of action, collect data in an organized manner and analyze...

Students use the scientific method to conduct an experiment and use varied methods to gather background information. They correctly use lab equipment and prepare tables and graphs that organize, conclude, and present their findings. ...

Eighth graders examine and discuss signaled sentence-combining. They read sentences and then combine them. They revise paragraphs from their own compositions using sentence-combining.

High schoolers explain the standard growth pattern of a monocot seedling and word process a finished essay.

Students observe the behavior of termites and draw conclusions about their behavior. They record data as to termite behavior and recognize elements in the experimental design which must include a hypothesis.

Ninth graders explore the concepts of motion, velocity and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They become more familiar with the computer technology. Students explore graphing in real time and graph on...

Students observe intra-species variation by completing standard microbial streaking procedures. They collect data from which they draw observations and complete a worksheet.

Eighth graders give some examples of chemical reactions they see everyday. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders investigate how much water soil can hold. They collect data and compare results with others.

Students examine how to design and implement experiments.  For this paper towel experiment lesson students test the strength of paper towels. 

Students explore friction. For this friction lesson, students investigate that weight and surface type affect friction.
