Students connect starch to sugar as the storage form of energy. They find that no starch is produced in the plant without light. Students perform the old favorite of looking at starch deposition in geranium leaves using Lugol's iodine...

Middle schoolers engage in a lesson in order to analyze the energy needs of the United States and cover the possible future needs depending on the growth of technology. They cover the alternative energy sources and make presentations of...

Students discover how coal is formed. In this science instructional activity, students create a scrapbook on the life cycle of coal and show how coal is formed by showing pictures of each stage.

Eighth graders examine the formation of craters. In this craters lesson plan, 8th graders discover the various energies involved in the formation of a crater, where you can find a crater in the Solar System, and observations of craters...

Learners participate in an experiment dealing with kinetic energy. They predict which cans they believe will win the can race and why. They answer questions based on the experiment.

Learners observe the interaction between energy absorbed, reflected or transmitted through an object in a photochemical process with a classroom demonstration.

Eighth graders discover how electricity is produced. In this physics lesson, 8th graders infer about the future of Mississippi's energy industry. They participate in a Smart Board interactive activity at the end of the lesson.

Tenth graders identify existing forms of energy and create possible solutions to resource limitations.

Third graders examine the power of solar energy. In groups, they create their own pizza box solar oven to discover the power of the sun and how it is a source for heat and light. To end the lesson, they use the internet to examine...

Students investigate the concept of energy and focus upon the usage and the cost associated with it. They conduct research using a variety of resources while working in cooperative groups. Students graph the usage of energy as estimates...

Students distinguish between open and closed circuits. In this open and closed circuits lesson plan, students use their bodies as electric conductors and understand how electricity is a form of energy.

In this cell energy worksheet, students review how ATP is formed and broken down and the uses of cell energy. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank and 2 short answer questions.

First graders complete sunlight and solar effects activities to learn about light and its power. In this solar activity lesson plan, 1st graders complete a sunscreen test activity, a light test, a black light test, a cloudy test, a...

In this limiting behavior of equations worksheet, students use the Klien and Nishima formula to find the limit for large X which is the ratio of energy carried by a photon compared to the rest mass energy of an electron.

Young scholars explore various types of electromagnetic waves, the range of the spectrum, and common sources of electromagnetic waves.

Students describe what global warming is, what causes global warming and the impact to our world. They study the threat of global warming and its relationship to the use of fossil fuels.

Students determine crude oil can be separated into useful fractions by a process of fractional distillation. They write a balanced equation for the reaction between a hydrocarbon and oxygen.

Students calculate how much coal they use based on their electric power usage. In this environmental science lesson, students trace the history of coal mining in US. They write a letter to USPS to encourage them to create coal mining...

Third graders view photos of machines that measure wind energy and chart what they observe in the pictures and the questions they have about the pictures.  In this wind energy lesson, 3rd graders make a pinwheel.  Students show...

For this metric system worksheet, students are given ten sets of measurements with metric units and they are to place each set of measurements in the proper order from the largest to the smallest based on the unit.

Young scholars discuss different ways engineers use light. In this engineering lesson, students are introduced to the properties of light and the way light is used. They view a demonstration of light waves using a slinky, and practice...
