High schoolers describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.

Students understand how mineral deposits are formed and why they are not evenly dispersed. They create and describe three different precipitates from four solutions simulating mineral ore deposit formation in sedimentary rock.

Students investigate what dissolved oxygen is and why it is important to aquatic life and what factors influence levels of dissolved oxygen in a lake. They study how to use MS Excel to make charts to show trends and correlations.

Pupils calculate the values of electron binding energies. In this physics lesson, students solve for different wavelength characteristics of X-rays. They present their findings to the class.

Pupils calculate the Balmer series. In this physics instructional activity, students observe hydrogen lamp spectra using spectrometers. They calculate wavelength and compare them with their theoretical calculations.

Students discuss what causes the northern lights and the folklore attached to them. They discuss magnetic fields, and use various common materials to discover if ions conduct electricity.

Fourth graders improve their understanding of Graham's Law by using properties of gases to evaluate the rate of effusion of two compounds as they vaporize. They engage in a lab which elevates their understanding of the properties of gases.

Students, in groups, take samples from a creek and keep a field journal on their samples. They also perform tests on their samples.

Young scholars examine the effects of radon on their breathing. They review the anatomy of the respiratory system before completeing this activity. They also complete equations to show how carbon dioxide forms in their body.
