Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Students explain the historical significance of use of the scientific method in developing the first airplane and appreciate the process involved in developing a new technology.

Students prove angles congruent by use of vertical angles definition, subtraction postulate, and transitivity postulate.

Students, after reading the Web page Turbojet Thrust and completing the activity, explain how jet engines use air to produce thrust. The educational software ""FoilSim" is used in this instructional activity to help students calculate...

Students use data from real-life models to calculate and compare the force required for an airplane of a given weight to become airborne. They use a graphing calculator to evaluate data and use the World Wide Web to access data.

Students create a body booklet by having their partner trace the outline of their body onto butcher-block paper.

Students make a model of the Earth's crust out of foam in order to better explain the make-up of the Earth's layers. They add continents and oceans.

Students experiment with glitter to explain the importance of washing hands and how germs are distributed. After a lecture/demo, students perfom a simple experiment which clearly demonstrates how germs are spread.

Students experiment with paper, light, thermometers and measurement to explore how the Sun's angle affects the temperature on Earth.

Students work together to create a scale model of the solar system. They write a descriptive paper and a paper comparing and contrasting the Earth to Saturn. They discuss their writings with the class.

Learners explore rocketry using balloon rockets. They demonstrate how rockets can achieve greater altitudes by using the technology of staging. By using two inflated balloons that slide along a fishing line, they simulate a multistage...

Students analyze cloud cover and to compose written conclusions to a given related scenario. They submit a letter of response and a report detailing their calculations and conclusions.

Students convert measurements from one unit to another. In this math lesson, students study the environmental consequences of oil spills. They replicate an oil spill event by modeling and scaling.

Students create a calendar for an imaginary planet. In this earth science lesson, students analyze the errors on the different calendars used on Earth. They present their work in class.

Students recognize different cloud types. They determine the seaonality of various types of clouds. They graph the data and determine if a correlation exists between season, cloud cover and type of clouds most prevalent during each season.

Students demonstrate that plants and animals are interdependent in a balanced ecosystem.

Students create a business card after researching their location in space and determining their Galactic Address.

High schoolers examine Kepler's Laws. They confirm Kepler's 3rd law by comparing orbital periods and mean distances for all major planets and study conic sections, qualitatively.

Pupils appropriately the following terms in sentences: drag, thrust, gravity, aerodynamics and lift.

Fourth graders define cold and warm fronts, explain how they are formed and they ways that they affect the weather.

Young scholars read a thermometer, associate weather conditions and seasons with temperature changes and keep a record of daily temperature.

Student read both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures on thermometers. They covert the temperatures and write poems to show understanding.

Students identify clouds outdoors using a cloud chart and then draw the types they observe. They read the poem, "Fog" by Carl Sandburg and then compose their own cloud poem using various styles of poetry.

Students create a rocket using Alka-seltzer of baking soda and vinegar. In this physics lesson, students identify the factors affecting the length of time the rocket is propelled. They relate this activity to actual rocket launched in...
