Sixth graders explore agriculture by examining world geography. In this pecan cultivation lesson plan, 6th graders identify the history of the famous nut and the impact it has on the U.S. economy, diet and human body. Students define...

Students explore alternative energy sources. In this wind energy lesson, students will investigate the difference in the speed and smoothness of wind at different altitudes above earth. Students will use kites, helium balloons,...

An entertaining presentation introduces both enthalpy and entropy. It explains equilibrium as the balance between these two measures and provides simple diagrams and graphics for additional clarity.

Sugar cubes, collide! Groups design protection systems using bubble wrap to protect sugar cubes from being destroyed by falling batteries in the STEM lesson. They consider how the experiment relates to collisions in real-world...

Provide your class with the opportunity to view our carbon cycle close up. Young scientists research the cycle of oxygen as it completes the tasks of photosynthesis and respiration. They explore the importance of carbon in an ecosystem...

Create a scaled model of our solar system in your classroom! Scholars work collaboratively to build paper mache planets and hang them in their proper position to showcase each planet's location in the solar system.   

Introduce your class to nanotechnology applications with three demonstrations that showcase scientific principles related to ferrofluids, quantum dots, and gold nanoparticles. Groups will work more closely with these applications in the...

Student examine the close relationship between fossil energy and our daily lives. To demonstrate to the student the close relationship between fossil energy and our daily lives.

Student is introduced to the concept of energy as a common factor among all things. They list three fossil fuels and describe how fossil fuels were formed. They then tell how much plant debris it took to form one foot of coal.

Learners measure and record the mass of the nut to be tested to the nearest 0.01 gram.

Learners use this introductory lab using a tennis racquet, however it is very difficult to study because of the strings and the racquet stretch so little and so quickly during a match that students were unable to make simple...

In this enzyme worksheet, students solve 6 problems including questions about how enzymes work, graphs of the relationship between enzyme and substrate and structures of enzymes.

In this reactions worksheet, students describe combustion as either exothermal or endothermal. Students balance reactions and label the types of reactions. This worksheet has 1 multiple choice, 2 short answer, and 10 problem solving...

Students investigate the chemistry of coal. This lesson serves as a review of conservation of mass, simple reactions and equation balancing. During the lesson, students research chemical components of coal, as well as environmental...

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.

Students discuss what the m in E=mc2 represent. They relate that mass in a chemical reaction is always conserved. Students convey that atoms rearrange themselves in chemical reactions to form different molecules and compounds.

Learners view a seven minute video called Gorilla in the Greenhouse. In this Earth day lesson, students review the history of Earth day. Learners work in groups to describe the life cycle of a plastic bag. Students understand that...

Eighth graders create their own experiements using toy trucks, cars or balls to measure the time it takes two of them to travel 5 meters, as well as at each 1 meter interval. They make use computers to make a time/distance graph and...

Young scholars test the adhesive quality of commercial caulk to determine the differences in materials that are seemingly similar.

Eighth graders research a science related career that they may be interested in. They use their findings to create a pamphlet about the career and present them orally to the class.

Young scholars define and identify endothermic/exothermic reactions. Using a series of experiments, they construct and interpret potential energy diagrams for their reactions.

In this oil consumption activity, students analyze the data about oil consumption and production in 3 graphs. Students then respond to 12 questions about the data.
