Students experiment with different objects to see if they sink or float. They can also choose certain colored items if more review is necessary.

Students examine the concept of biodiversity. They toss coins to determine what traits mouse parents have and the babies traits as well. They predict what would happen to the baby mice if the traits of the parents were different.

Students research the names and locations of Spanish speaking countries throughout the world. They use a world map to become familiar with the locations of these countries and use the Internet to conduct further research. They sing...

Third graders recognize that different materials have different properties which can be observed such as texture and bouyancy, and compare and contrast, through observation, ability of some objects to float because of action of...

Third graders view a demonstration of a teeter totter as a basis for assessing pre-knowledge of a lever. They create a KwL chart. Students work in small groups to conduct a variety of experiments. The first requires students to tie books...

Young scholars describe characteristics and common uses of acids and bases. They describe the role of natural indicators in the chemistry of acids and bases after testing and making observations on a variety of plant extracts. Students...

Students are introduced to the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Using a compass, they observe and record the effects of placing the object near magnetic fields and electric currents. They also experiment using a steel and...

Young scholars identify and examine adaptations in birds that enable them to fly. They conduct Internet research to relate these adaptations to the physics of flight. Students observe birds in flight and describe their behavior and...

Students review the concepts of pedestrian safety. Individually, they draw a picture of themselves doing an activity they enjoy noting the rules of safety. After sharing their picture, they discuss the benefits of being safe during...

Students define the Jewish concept of tzedakah. In this religious lesson, students read portions of the Torah and discuss the meaning of tzedakah. Students visit a Jewish Community Center.

Students solve a crime by matching a suspect's blood type to physical evidence collected at the crime scene. In this forensic science lesson, students identify the different blood types. They explain how blood tests work.

Young scholars will investigate the differences in conductivity of materials, design a variety of complete circuits, and observe the differences between the manner in which light is produced in an incandescent light bulb and an LED.

Eighth graders study the concepts of acids, bases, salts and neutralization. They discuss steam adoption program, acid rain and other ecological implications. They use indicators to obtain pH values of household chemicals and to...

Students explore the concept of neighborhoods and identify primary and secondary colors. In this colors and community lesson, students read the book Harold and the Purple Crayon and then discuss the concept of a neighborhood. Students...

Young scholars investigate sound. In this physics lesson, students listen to a variety of sounds on a tape recorder and use picture cards to hold up the picture card for each sound used.

Young scholars explore limu diversity. In this ocean ecosystem lesson, students classify limu according to its physical properties. Young scholars work in small groups to generate scientific observations and sort limu by characteristics.

Students calculate the diameter, radius and area of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the different ratios of a circle. They calculate the surface are of each circle.

Students explore how different colors are seen through the cone cells in our eyes.  In this light activity students complete a lab activity with light and record their observations.

Students research the history of North Logan, Utah. Using photographs, they identify the similiarties and differences between the past and today. They locate their home on a large map discuss ways in which different groups and...

High schoolers discuss the physical and human impacts of community design. They identify traditional neighborhood design elements and evaluate them with features of conventional suburban development.

Students visualize, in three dimensions, features represented by contour lines on a topographic map. They see that the different elevations shown on a two dimensional topographic map can be used to build a 3-D model.

Students investigate the concept of lab safety using a variety of different activities. The equipment necessary is covered. They draw the different types of lab tools using a graphic organizer.

Students determine the most appropriate site for a car wash, based on each site's soil characteristics (chemical, physical) and topographic features. They perform an experiment to determine the changes to three different soil types when...

Students organize picture cards of the sequene of how food gets from a farm to their home. They then sequence cards of how coffee grown in Colombia gets to their home comparing the differences.
