Sometimes different parts of the brain disagree. See what this disagreement looks like using a remote learning resource to experience how brains often take shortcuts. Pupils complete the activity, observe their results, and then read...

Take a look with another perspective. Pupils read to find out what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum a space telescope sees and the difficulties of viewing infrared radiation from other objects in space. Individuals discover how...

This page consists of a list of the cranial nerves in triplicate. The diagram of the brain that tops each copy of the list is too small for identifying each nerve. Consider giving your avid anatomists one of these lists with a large...

Students examine the properties of lasers and research their types and uses.  In this laser lesson students view several demonstrations.

Students develop an invisible security system to protect a mummified troll.  In this security system lesson students view a portion of Mythbusters and begin their challenge.

How did Houdini do it? After reading a short passage about magicians and their tricks, readers are asked to compare and contrast some of the illusions these prestidigitators create. 

In this chemistry worksheet, students write how many chiral C's are in each of the compounds listed. Then they draw the Fischer projections for all stereo isomers in 5 and in 6. Students also match the correct Fischer projection to each...

Middle schoolers explore light and color, including how colors are mixed to produce new colors, how light is filtered, and how light is reflected off of surfaces. They read materials provided, complete worksheets, and complete hands-on...

Middle schoolers explore light and color, including how colors are mixed to produce new colors, how light is filtered, and how light is reflected off of surfaces.

Young scholars work in pairs to construct a simple stereoscope.

Students develop a basic understanding of how color is perceived by the eye. They utilize the technique Seurat used to paint A Sunday on La Grande Jatte to create their own paintings.

Young scholars construct a simple refracting telescope. They calculate the magnification.

Discover the art and art techniques of George Seurat (1859-1891). Your class will create their own multimedia examples of visual art in this Art lesson for the 3rd and 4th grades. The lesson includes a short vocabulary list and...

In this chemistry worksheet, pupils complete the reactions by drawing structures of major products, indicating important minor products. They also write the structure of the product and describe the stereo chemistry of the product.

Students discuss feelings and explore how to recognize how they are feeling.  For this exploratory lesson students discuss conflict and ways to resolve problems. 

Learners study different inventors and inventions.  For this invention introduction lesson students pretend that they are an inventor and come up with their own invention.  

These slides give sets of facts and trivia about gamma rays. Your physicists will learn the dynamics of scattering photons and energy involved in gamma ray bursters. The concepts are quite involved making this PowerPoint a nice addition...

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - Albert Einstein. The sixth installment of a seven-part series teaches young scientists about the importance of being able to communicate scientific research and...

Students study the parts and functions of the human eye. They create dodecagons which are twelve-sided figures with twelve equal angles and share these with the class so that each student can begin to see how many different illusions can...

Seventh graders create Op art designs by reading web information through FlingIt, mapping learned concepts with PicoMap, and creating how-to examples of their own Op art design by using Sketchy. They complete the lesson by creating their...

Students experience how the brain adapts over time to changes in what they perceive. In this human perception lesson, students wear special prism goggles that initially disorient the user. Over time, the student is able to adjust to the...

Students observe different substances under the microscope. In this space science lesson, students identify the different features of SEM images. They formulate a conclusion about the images of Mars meteorites.

Students investigate the essential concepts of how lenses work to magnify vision, and then build simple telescopes to demonstrate their understanding. They write a description of how their telescope could be improved and how it works.

Student groups rotate through four stations to examine light energy behavior: refraction, magnification, prisms and polarization. They see how a beam of light is refracted (bent) through various transparent mediums. Students investigate...
