Students use study guides and videos to discuss the positive and negative impacts of white-tailed deer populations. In this wildlife management lesson plan, students view slides and discuss the natural history and value of deer as a...

Students study the different types of metals.  In this investigative lesson students watch a demonstration on the effects of temperature on atoms and take a tour through baone matter.

Pupils define kinetic energy and know the effects of weight and speed on momentum.  In this investigative lesson students get into groups and design a roller coaster. 

Students define potential and kinetic energy and explain the relationship of height to potential energy.  In this roller coaster lesson students construct a model of a roller coaster which will allow them to see the basic physical...

Students take a hands on approach to learning about conservation.  In this conservation lesson students divide into groups and complete several demos, view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a handout.

Students explore online tutorial on polymers. In this chemistry lesson, they create two polymers in the lab and compare their properties. They write a sales letter about their new and improved polymer product.

Students consider their perceptions of the world through their 5 senses while visiting the West Virginia State Museum. In this West Virginia history activity, students discover how knowing about the past helps with their understanding of...

Learners design an experiment to determine which liquid is water. In this chemistry lesson, students perform the experiment as outlined in their design. They record observation and formulate conclusion.

Young scholars explain how wetlands minimize the impact of hurricanes. In this earth science lesson, students investigate how different materials affect the steam plume path. They complete their worksheet after the lab.

Students study geography. In this Arizona maps lesson, students develop their map reading skills. They have class discussions and work independently with various copies of Arizona maps to practice those skills. This lesson mentions...

Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

Eighth graders examine the physical properties of different minerals. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders explain the uses of minerals in their daily lives. They complete the mineral identification table during the lesson.

Eighth graders hypothesize what caused the break up of continents. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders study about the events that took place during Mesozoic and Cenozoic Era. They reconstruct a supercontinent and report their...

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson plan, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Students explore physics. In this science lesson, students discuss physics in their everyday lives. Students complete a physics worksheet.

Students use authentic satellite data on the NASA website to determine when the sea surface temperature meets the criteria to induce coral bleaching.
