Students perform several tests on liquids. In this general science activity, students compare the properties of polymeric and nonpolymeric liquids. They explain the composition and importance of macromolecules.

Students are provided with a physical description of the insect, in words and graphics, including body parts, special adaptations, color, and so on. They explore and report on all four elements of an insect's habitat: food, water,...

In this physics worksheet, students solve 6 problems where they calculate average speeds of moving objects, distance objects travel and time it takes for objects to get to their destination.

Learners describe the physical characteristics of a familiar model and apply it to an unfamiliar one.  In this investigative instructional activity students become familiar with rock characteristics by participating in a candy bar...

Young scholars complete several cross-curricular activities to help them examine the uses of the letter Ee. For this letter Ee lesson, students complete geography, phonics, art, seasonal, science, animal science, physics, and online...

Fifth graders, in groups, examine different types of apples and how they are different. They also taste the differences of each apple. They use this lesson to explore how to make observations.

Students consider alternative designs for a tall building and choose one of their designs to build. As a final step, they design and construct a model of a skyscraper.

Fifth graders examine how anatomical adaptations make it possible for a bird to survive in various habitats. They discuss and list birds and their unique characteristics, and create an imaginary bird, illustrating the environmental...

Students analyze the basic techniques used to find and produce oil. They also create a small project that allows them experiment with solutions to maximize the amount of colorless liquid produced from colored solutions.

Students are able to use a secchi disk to measure the turbidity of water by determining the depth at which the sechi disk is no longer visible and using the data in a formula to quantify the results. They are able to use Vernier probes...

Students assess how much harm UV radiation can have on your skin and how much protection is provided by sunblock, sunglasses and clothing. They experiment with UV index numbers and the amount of exposure risk of skin damage for any given...

Second graders explain the relationship between energy and work. In this technology lesson plan, 2nd graders describe the different uses of machines in their everyday lives. They record observations and data in their science journal.

In this electronics worksheet, students complete 15 short answers and problem solving questions related to capacitance circuits.

Students identify the different sources of energy. In this energy lesson, students list different machines and identify the type of energy used to operate them. They create a diagram of a wind turbine and label its parts.

If the area you live in is arid, or the preceding experiment in this unit didn't yield obvious results, use this one in place of it to help reveal where condensation comes from. The mini unit that this is part of a comprehensive...

Students make observations on the effects of a small, medium and large weight on the movement of a wig-wag apparatus. They use their observations to develop a generalized inference of the effect weight on movement patterns.

Students lexplore environmental trends in the troposphere- temperature, dew point, pressure and wind speed- by checking their hypotheses against data collected by weather balloons.

Students solve problems by discovering the eigenvalues that satisfy design questions. They explain how relaxing a small angle approximation can change the solution. Students apply the numerical model of pendulumm motion to solve the...
