A cell of another color is still a cell. Pupils color a cell to identify its structures in the fourth segment of a seven-segment series. Groups work together to build a three-dimensional cell membrane segment, which is combined with...

Young scholars determine sea ice thickness, concentration, and floe size by reading egg codes.  In this sea ice conditions lesson, students color code a map based on prescribed criteria and use the maps to identify changes in sea...

Chemistry classes will appreciate this color-coded, single-page reference sheet for The Standard Model of particle physics. It is divided into two main sections: elementary particles and compound particles, both with their antiparticles....

Pupils determine the length of different whales using a rope marked off and color coded to each length. They create life-size scale drawings of whales on butcher paper.

Learners examine evolutionary history; the earth's timeline by creating timelines. They determine the timeframes of era, epochs, and periods and study the species that were evident in each.

Students explore space science by completing a worksheet in class. For this astronomy lesson, students discuss and identify star patterns in the night sky and relate these patterns to the approximate time they appear. Students complete...

Young scholars explore the concept of animal welfare. In this wild animal habitats lesson, students discover the work of wild animals in sustaining their habitats as they participate in a classroom simulation. Young scholars discuss how...

High schoolers identify where their water sources and explore a watershed on a map.  In this watershed lesson students walk a wetland, and identify sources of pollution.

Learners use the Internet to delve into the relationship between fores and motion on a sizable object. They predict where they think the temperature and pressure be the greatest, and where the pressure be the lowest.

Young scholars identify and define geology and earth surface vocaulary and their meanings to classify rocks and explore caves and their properties. Students find rocks and test them according to Moh's scale. They create a color coded...

Students create observable layers in water that represent a separation based upon density differences. They model density boundaries using differences in temperature and salinity. They, in groups, perform a meaningful experiment...

Step out of the 21st century and discover protons and electrons through observation. Using common materials, participants continually adjust their explanation of charges. The final assessment requires pupils to design their own...

Students examine what iridium flares are and when they occur.  In this iridium flare instructional activity students complete an activity to see how far overhead Iridium satellites are.

Students complete puzzles of dinosaurs. They compare each piece of the puzzle to a fossil and simulate a scientist's role in learning about dinosaurs.

Young scholars identify the benefits of the process of land reclamation. They discuss examples of reclamation projects, and complete a word puzzle, word find, and energy sentence puzzle.
