Learners recognize that sound is produced by the vibration of materials. They see that the sound produced is dependent on the type of material that is used. Given four types of material; air, string, wood, and metal, students perform an...

Learners investigate primary and secondary waves and how to measure the magnitude of waves. They discover how to find the epicenter of earthquakes. They examine why waves are more destructive in some areas than others through these...

Pupils discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.

Students use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

Fourth graders learn the numerical value of each underlined letter of the standard Rod Code and develop systematic usage for building new units.

Third graders examine how multiplication is a quicker and neater form of addition and how they can simulate the concept of groups and (sets) to construct the visual effect of multiplication by way of forming groups of (2's) (3's) and (4's).

Students solve equations of the form ax+b=cx+d and visualize the concept of "balancing" an equation.

Students observe the wealth of living organisms in a drop of water from our freshwater ecosystems. They classify the types of organisms observed as single-celled or multi-cellular and use a key or chart to identify and name the organisms...

Fifth graders determine the difference between a soluble and an insoluble solution and how to increase solubility. They make a saturated solution using solvents at different temperatures.

Aztecs created amazing hydroponic gardens called Chinampas, to grow their crops. Learners in grades k-7 engage in four mini-experiments to understand just how amazing floating gardens are. Tip: A perfect way to bring science into your...

Students explore how the immune system, fights a war with a pathogenic organism: one of the many bacteria, viruses, and protozoans that can infect our bodies and cause disease.

Sixth graders learn the classification system of living organisms. They identify general body parts of an insect, learn insect classification into orders, families, genus and species, and classify given insects by using a scientific...

Students examine how flowers have essentially four parts. They learn both the male and female reproductive parts of the flower, then explore self-pollination and pollination by insects and other animals.

Students develop an understanding and appreciation of water purification techniques and their implications for health maintenance.

Students investigate their reaction times for grabbing a dropped ruler after discussing reactions times to other events such as moving your foot from the gas pedal to the brake. They drop the ruler from a sent height and record the time...

Students experiment to show the components that dictate centripetal force in an object. They observe how the object moves in a circular path around a central point.

Students investigate the affect of soap and water temperature on surface tension.

High schoolers identify the scientist who first wrote the Periodic Table, identify the scientist who amended the Table, state (or write) specific data relating to the history of the Periodic Table, identify at least five elements, and...

Pupils participate in an experiment involving the square root of two. They use different methods to solve the problem.

Students create a model of a circuit breaker to help them explain how friction causes heat, and how current is carried.

Students learn what causes popcorn to pop.

Students cuminate their study of molecular structure and bonding with this activity.

Students work on The Six Solution Problem, which is a logic problem assuming that the student knows some basic reactions and solubility rules.

Students solve problems using reasoning techniques, identify the validity or non-validity of problems and use deductive reasoning for problem resolution.
