Pupils investigate plant reproduction, pollen collection and identification. They collect pollen samples over a twenty four hour period and examine them under a microscope.

Learners explore lead poisoning and how it relates to ceramic dishes. They perform an experiment to discover if any of your ceramic ware is leaching lead which might cause lead poisoning.

High schoolers explore the amount of lead in ceramic plates through an experiment. Students determine if everyday dishware is leaching lead into food. They chart their results and discuss how much lead in ceramic dishware may cause...

High schoolers investigate the concept of a macroinvertebrate. They observe the presence of increases or decreases in population in order to test for factors that contribute to the extinction of a species. Students predict the likelihood...

Students explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson plan, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Students calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Young scholars identify the relationship between black carbon and the weather.  In this investigative lesson students compare samples of black carbon with a color-scale and analyze others samples. 

Given quantitative data, students will express and manipulate quantities using dimensional analysis.

In this guided inquiry activity, students will see how we can obtain information about the atomic world by making macro-scale calculations. Students will also use dimensional analysis to manipulate their measurements to achieve the...

Students use estimation to approximate the size of a large set of data. By observing smaller sets and seeing patterns they make general predictions and even create algorithms capable of making approximations.

This interactive map of the US is color coded to show the quantity of rain received throughout the country. Selections can be made to focus on certain areas and certain time frames.
