In this nature of science worksheet, students identify four statements as "pure" or "applied" science and they read a short story about an experiment performed by a boy. They identify various components of the experiment...

Sixth graders conduct an experiment to understand the Big Bang Theory.  In this Big Bang Theory lesson, 6th graders will observe a balloon with confetti popping to emulate and analyze information related tot he Big Bang theory....

Middle schoolers design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. In this physics lesson, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results and...

Eighth graders investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas in a closed container. They measure the height of the water in their beaker/container, conduct their experiment, and create a graph to illustrate their data.

Students determine the volume of a rectangular prism. They then maximize and minimize the volume given variable side lengths.  Finally, they factor the volume equation to determine the side lengths.

For this life characteristics worksheet, students answer 16 questions about living things, Redi's experiment, basic needs, growth and development.

Students observe that plants need air, food, light, and water to survive.  In this plant biology activity, students observe the growth and development of two plants, one is the control plant and the other is denied either air,...

Pupils analyze the variables in the formula of a compound interest. They model the increase or decrease of an investment using compound interest and discuss different compounding periods.

Students build models of wind turbines and experiment with different designs that will improve efficiency. Students will understand the use of wind power as a renewable resource.

Students engage in a lesson that gives them the tools needed to become knowledgeable credit consumers. The companion website for the ITV program TV-411 is used to provide learners with an interactive experience of what credit has to offer.

Young scholars examine the health effects of hazardous waste on people. They work together to complete an experiment in which worms are exposed to chemicals. They discuss the results of the test.

Fifth graders use information from their text to read and discuss pulleys and levers. They examine a top sketch of the arrangement of a fixed pulley. Working in groups, 5th graders perform experiments to test the effect of using a pulley...

In this scientific method worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 21 clues about the steps of the scientific method. Topics include observations, hypotheses, variables, inferences, results and conclusions.

In this lab design and lab skills worksheet, learners answer questions about experimental design including finding variables, determining controls, and graphing data. They answer questions about microscopy and label the parts of a...

In this project instructional activity, students complete a formal write up of their experiments. This includes a rationale, a purpose, a hypothesis, their experimental design, materials, procedure, data tables with variables, graphs and...

Young scholars estimate the pH based on the use of an unknown substance, determine whether an unknown substance is acid, base or neutral, and evaluate, by the pH determination, which of the unknowns is the strongest acid or base.

Students evaluate the notion of aging by reviewing some of the studies that occurred on John Glenn's space shuttle mission.

Help your class determine the types of pollutants coming from vehicle exhaust. Groups use an air quality monitor to determine the emissions from different vehicles, to gain knowledge about combustion energy, and to predict how the...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.
