Students explore the properties of water. For this cross curriculum art and physical science lesson, students experiment with a variety of materials to demonstrate the cohesive forces and adhesion of water. Students create a water color...

In this art and ecology worksheet, students look at paintings and answer questions, using the painting, a world map and climate. There are 2 pictures, each with its own set of questions.

Eighth graders construct a car out of a block of basswood.  For this car lesson students research, design and construct their own cars.

Adjust the melting time of ice without varying the temperature! Learners experiment with different materials to decide how the materials affect the rate an ice cube melts. They then connect their findings to the conductivity of each...

It's a race to the finish! Which ice cube will melt the fastest? Scholars discover the effect thermal energy has on melting ice. They experiment with melting ice cubes on different materials and learn that even at a consistent...

The sun provides the link between this art and science activity. Kids use sunlight (or light from an artificial source) to produce heliographic prints on fabric or paper.

A lever comes in handy when scholars build a launcher for a ping-pong ball. They test the launcher and redesign it to send the ball higher or to accommodate a tennis ball. This is the third lesson in a five-part unit.

A well-designed book on beans teaches kids about the anatomy of a bean. They cut out parts of a bean and paste them together. There are a lot of good descriptions of the parts of beans, such as the embryo, stored food, and the seed coat....

Students experiment with solubility and bonding.

Students create a sustainable, self-contained ecosystem in a ten-gallon aquarium.

Middle schoolers construct a model giant kelp and kelp forest inhabitants based on field-guide photographs. Students also place animal cutouts in appropriate positions on or near the plant.

Fourth graders examine habitats for animals by creating their own in class environment.  In this environment lesson, 4th graders research the Internet for information on certain wild animals and the places in which they live....

Students explore ocean environments. In this ocean environment lesson, students identify the things ocean animals need for survival. Students use KWL charts and search the Internet collecting information about ocean habitats....

Students create a visual timeline of skyscrapers built in the past 20 years. In this physical science lesson plan, students research important facts about the building. They discuss the challenges architects face when building skyscrapers.

Students research and build model penguins. In this penguin lesson, students examine the anatomy of penguins by creating models and completing coloring pages.

Pupils investigate the process of erosion and factors that influence the rate of soil loss.  In this erosion activity students formulate a hypothesis and analyze the results of their experiment. 

Students use the word processor to write about the process they used to grow a plant. They import a graphic image of their plant into the document they have written, then proofread their document.

Students identify the five senses and their functions and explain what information each sense gives us. They collect information gained through observation and experiences. They practice identifying new vocabulary words from the word wall.

High schoolers trace a molecule of water through the water cycle including each of its three loops. They describe why evapotranspiration demands the largest portion of total precipitation falling on a forested watershed.

Students use examples of Joseph Raffael's art of nature to create an all-school mosaic of a tree in spring using clay.

Students create and observe a collage of oceanography topics that be placed on quilt tiles in a culmination art project to represent information learned.

Students create a model of an alligator out of clay using both artwork and research to guide their finished work.

Students identify items in their homes that come from coal. They divide into groups and decide as a group which items are made from coal by-products. They then divide their poster board into three columns and label the first - items made...

Learners identify how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. They identify how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens, and also,...
