Students recognize that carbon dioxide's role in the greenhouse effect. They research the greenhouse effect to design and create a greenhouse structure to measure the changing temperatures over a 24-hour period. In addition, they write a...

Students demonstrate that material strength varies with shape and arrangement.

Middle schoolers are broken up into four groups. Each group will use their knowledge about Egypt to originate a playground for Egyptian children. This will involve brainstorming ideas on paper, building a prototype with Legos or other...

Students carry out research and synthesise information from a range of sources. They find out about how to access key information from the Internet.

Students examine the functions of the different systems in the body. They discover how different systems must work together to make the body function correctly. They identify the needs of the body to help it survive.

Young scholars expand upon previous lessons with sled kites by varying the dimensions or materials while building a news sled kite while working in a team. They fly their original kites and the new ones under similar conditions to...

Students investigate Axioms and Postulates. In this proof and linear transformation of equations lesson, students explore axioms and postulates to solve linear equations. Students construct game cards to analyze the linear transformation...

Students engineer new organisms using biotechnology. In small groups, they write procedures, list benefits and drawbacks, and explain how their new organism might affect the environment. After creating their new organisms, they present...

Young scholars design a craft that safely floats vegetables across a classroom. The teacher provides some materials, but the child may as well. As the experiment is created, they have to fill out worksheets to keep the actiivity...

Pupils discover how engineers construct buildings to stand up against earthquakes. They build their own structures out of marshmallows and toothpicks. They test how earthquake-proof their building is with jello.

Students work together to build their own spaghetti bridge. They test the bridge to see how much weight it can hold before breaking. They discover how engineers use this type of information to design bridges.

Students will design and build a structure to support a rock. Students will use their knowledge of movement of objects to determine the proper base to be built to support their rock. Students will explore their natural area for...

Students work together to build an earthquake city. They simulate the shaking during an earthquake to discover if their structure is built well enough. They discover how engineers complete these types of tests to develop better...

Students build a barn or silo out of clay. In this sculpting instructional activity, students plan and design a barn or silo and follow step-by-step directions in order to create their finished product out of clay.
