Students explore materials and their properties. In this matter lesson, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of what was...

Students compare and contrast the movement of objects on different surfaces, experimenting with friction and forces of motion. This friction lesson has numerous online tools including worksheets and virtual activities; the option is also...

Students investigate how mirrors reflect light. In this reflection lesson, students draw the path of the light reflected from a mirror. Students construct a list of objects that are light sources.

In this worksheet, students are asked 11 questions about AC currents and transformers and volt meters. Students can check answers online.

Students identify the properties of transition metals. In this chemistry lesson, students research facts and uses of one aluminum product they choose. They create an advertisement highlighting aluminum's useful properties.

Students examine the advantages and disadvantages of the different sources of energy.  In this energy lesson students complete an experiment and worksheet.

Young scholars explore electromagnetism, simple machines and the design process. They use the concepts of electromagnetism to design and build a device that uses an electromagnet, a pulley and a lever using the provided Engineering...

Third graders explore different types of trains. In this science lesson, 3rd graders study the "Orphan Train" and write a paragraph about what it would feel like to be riding a train during this time period.

In this electrochemistry worksheet, students determine the half reaction and the standard cell potential. Students identify the species that is the strongest oxidizing agent. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

Students discuss metalloids, their use as semiconductors, and their impact on the computer industry. They work in groups to create a visual timeline showing the evolution of the computer.

Students explore Earth science by completing energy worksheets in class. In this energy forms instructional activity, students identify and define a list of energy vocabulary terms and a K-W-L chart. Students view a matter video clip in...

Students describe properties of various elements. They arrange the elements based on properties in order to explain the organization of the periodic table. They label elements as metal, non-metal, or metalloid.

Students participate in an online activity to determine how objects heat and cool. They determine what objects best serve as thermal insulators.

Students recognize different types of movement and causes that my affect the movement. They know that pushes and pulls are types of forces.

Students participate in an online lesson to determine that different plants and animals are found in different habitats. They use food chains to show feeding relationships in a habitat, and see that nearly all food chains start with a...

Learners investigate melting and cooling in a range of materials.

Learners recognize the different types of plants and animals living in a local environment. They determine how they require different habitats to live, and relate simple life processes to plants and animals found in local environments.

Students exercise their muscles to explore concept of heart rate and to explain how blood supplies muscles with oxygen.

Students participate in an online lesson making and recording observations of magnets. They determine that magnets attract some metals but not others and that other materials are not attracted to magnets.

Students participate in an online lesson to determine how light travels from a source, and to explain that shadows form when light travelling from a source is blocked.

Students construct a food web to identify producer, consumer, herbivore, carnivore and predator. They complete an online activity collecting plants and animals and arranging them in the web. They describe the interdependence between...

Students examine types of forces and movements. They identify different causes that can affect movement and speed. They create their own predictions about they believe to be the outcome of an experiment.

Students follow carefully designed instructions to bond silver to glass thus creating a mirror. The process used, Brashear's Process, uses sugar rather than formaldehyde to reduce the compounds, but many of the chemicals are dangerous,...

Students are introduced to the concept of friction. Using that information, they discover ways in which friction can be useful. They participate in different activities to see fricition in action. They complete a grid worksheet and...
