Fourth graders discover the geographic regions of Kansas. In this geography lesson plan, 4th graders explore the different regions of Kansas and determine how the different geography affects daily life in Kansas.

Eighth graders observe two types of interactions in a sealed plastic bag. One bag contains baking soda and water, and the other baking soda and vinegar. They determine what evidence indicates that a chemical change is occurring.

Sixth graders study microorganisms. In this microorganism instructional activity, 6th graders explore the form and function of these organisms. Students use magnification during experiments on bread.

Students review and discuss how Solar energy and electricity produce light and heat. They create a photo/picture journal and include pictures taken during solar energy activities to a PowerPoint slide presentation.

Students investigate magnets and how they work. They read and discuss the book, What Makes a Magnet and record their observations as they complete activities. After exploring the magnet set, they record their predictions and results...

Learners study bridges and design and build their own. They explore different types of bridges and build a basic beam bridge in pairs. After creating their beam bridge, they design a truss bridge and then build a suspension bridge and...

Students participate in a lab experiment involving soap bubbles and making bubble prints. They blow bubbles into the soap and add paint to make bubble prints. With extra time, they can play with a variety of bubble toys to see what...

This discovery student page offers students an opportunity to work as a team to discover the shape of an object they cannot see. It is an experiment which parallels particle physicists dilemma in not being able to see very small...

Students investigate where the blood in our hearts travels by observing a diagram in class.  In this cardiovascular lesson, students examine their own heart by checking their pulse in class.  Students investigate a human body...

Students investigate the specific elements found in food that keep us healthy.  In this healthy eating lesson, students identify proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins as part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation....

Pupils, by drawing on their own experiences, discuss and examine the basic physics of flight. They participate in a variety of activities regarding flight.

Fourth graders observe changes in matter caused by the addition of heat. They participate in a physical education activity where they deal with science concepts. They have a knowledge of how particles act in water when heated.

Students explain the danger of incorrectly wired plugs. In this physics lesson, students construct their own safe plug. They share the finished project in class.

Students investigate electromagnetic induction. In this physics lesson, students construct Faraday's coil to observe what happens when a wire moves through a changing electromagnetic field. They complete lab report and present results to...

Students investigate the relationship between voltage and current. In this physics lesson, students observe and collect data from the experiment. They graph the result and share them to class.

First graders complete a variety of cross-curricular activities to examine the uses of the letter K. In this alphabet theme lesson, 1st graders complete music, cooking, geography, craft, physical education, science, and online activities...

Young scholars investigate the human impact on coastal land. In this coastal surveys lesson plan, students choose a coastal area and complete a survey sheet about the area. They choose a topic about a sea side village called Dunwich to...

Students study making scientific observations . They conduct a "field study" in their attic and make observations about their family artifacts based upon physical attributes. In addition, they determine what characteristics of an object...

Students describe human benefits from ocean exploration. In this ocean exploration lesson, students focus on the historical, biological, and physical features of the deep oceans and man's exploration.

Students discover and identify positive and negative electrical charges and understand that like repels and opposite charges attract.  In this physics lesson, students observe how friction can be used to give electrical charge to...

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry instructional activity, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an...

Young scholars investigate the relationship between current and voltage in a series circuit. In this physics lesson, students measure the current across each light bulb. They predict what happens to the circuit if one bulb is blows out.

Students explain how drag, weight, lift and thrust work together to make something fly. In this physics lesson, students measure their jump height and record data on the table. They reason out why they can't remain airborne for long.

Students study the concept of food chains and create a physical forest food chain pyramid. For this balance of nature pyramid lesson, students identify the ingredients needed on each level of the pyramid then make connections...
