High schoolers recreate sea-floor spreading and the pattern of magnetic stripes that are created by different configurations of plate boundaries. They see how transform faults work.

Students are introduced to the topic of electromagnetic induction. In groups, they describe ways in which the magnetic flux can change and discuss emf and current. They use different scientists laws and apply it to various scenerios in a...

Young scholars apply their knowledge to identify waste solutions for their families and homes. Students generate an individual action plan that works for their family and create a magnet to display their waste plan. Young scholars apply...

Young scholars discuss what causes the northern lights and the folklore attached to them. They discuss magnetic fields, and use various common materials to discover if ions conduct electricity.

Students make their own magnets out of old paint containers. They make familiar characters like Elmo and the Grouch from Sesame Street. They watch a demonstration and then make their own.

Students explore properties of cans (including aluminum and steel) as they rotate through stations. They experiment with magnets, weight differences, resistance to corrosion and temperature conductivity.

Students review the correspondent /ai/ = long a and break into groups of five. They use a fishing pole with a magnet attached to "fish" for words that contain the /ai/ sound in it. If they catch a word that does not contain the /ai/...

Young scholars study the proper care of equipment while seated at computer. They demonstrate proper care of equipment such as having clean hands, treatment of peripherals, clean work area, no magnets around computer station, general care...

In this science and social studies instructional activity, students complete a survey about their interests. Students check each subject that they are interested in, such as killer whales, Thomas Edison, and magnets.
