Scientists can't observe bonds breaking or forming, so how do they distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions? Young scholars complete two experiments to do just that. They monitor temperature change and calculate the...

Combat ocean acidification with bubbles. Young engineers create a system that reduces the acidity of water. Dry ice in water helps simulate ocean acidity, and blowing bubbles into the water results in a gas exchange that neutralizes the...

Help your class become laser focused on the connection between sound and light. Scholars set up mirrors to bend and direct lasers that are connected to a music source. Music should start playing when the laser hits the photoresistor.

Why do we sweat? Scholars analyze data about body temperature, sweating, and other factors to better understand sweating. They note the changes after drinking ice water to sweating, skin temperature, and body temperature. Analysis...

Do animals breathe faster when given more oxygen or more carbon dioxide? Young scientists observe the respiration rates of locusts under a variety of gas concentrations to answer that very question. They collect data, analyze the...

Do all liquids evaporate at the same rate? Young scientists observe the evaporation rate of three different liquids. They measure the time, the temperature, and the change in energy. After comparing the chemical formulas, scholars...

How did scientists determine the cause of illness before technology? Science scholars play the role of medical researcher in an engaging guided inquiry activity. Using observations, technical reading, and Punnett squares, learners...

Students answer questions that are related to factors that determine the type of mining used? They are able to answer questions after reading the assignment. Some questions that are asked: Briefly describes the steps of surface mining....

Learners are shown proper stance, nocking, targeting, and release techniques of archery. They follow basic safety procedures involved in handling and using archery equipment. Students practice shooting aluminum or fiberglass shaft arrows.

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet instructional activity students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Students discover that electrical appliances are made up of individual components that work together. They, with partners, demonstrate to others how their piece of equipment or appliance works by taking it apart and examining the parts.

Students complete a test demonstrating their knowledge of kitchen safety, sanitation, equipment, measuring, cooking terms, abbreviations, substitutions, equivalents, reading and parts of a recipe, and the microwave oven.

Students write a sketch of an artist or athlete that has pushed the limits on gravity. They explore concepts of rhythm, balance and friction. They examine how engineers design sports equipment.

Students make pyramids. In this sports and sciences lesson students work cooperatively with their group members to build human pyramids. The focus is on safety and working together regardless of personal differences.

Learners investigate the organisms of bacteria. They are given a culture of bacteria that can be observed under a microscope. The students make observations that are recorded. The lesson includes the mention of specific safety...

Learners move within the gymnasium area while working on color/shape recognition, change of speed and directional movements, and cooperation/teamwork. In this FUN-damental movement lesson, students work in partners on a treasure chest...

Learners create a product out of concrete. In this concrete lesson plan, students also demonstrate safety when using the tools provided.

Students stimulate thought about equipping ourselves to be ready for life's challenges. They recognize the needs and concerns of others and reconsider existing views. They evaluate consideration for others' religious teaching and...

For this friction worksheet, students complete a friction experiment in which they use marbles to create friction between a book and a tin. This worksheet contains equipment, preparation, background information and more to complete this...

Students participate in 5 activities that lead into the correct progression for the shot put. Activities include grip and arm position, release, putting, standing puts, and reverse puts. This lesson includes safety tips, and equipment...

Students perform introductory swimming techniques. They review water safety rules. Students blow bubbles and put their head into the water. They touch designated body parts while standing in the water and finally touch the bottom of...

Students complete a unit on the hobby of fishing. They assemble the line with the necessary equipment (hook, swivel, bobbers, weights, and lures.) They practice casting and discover what to do when they catch a fish. They follow with...

Students make a contingency plan in case of unexpected events such as bad weather. They discuss safety and appropriate conduct.They map out a schedule to ensure that sufficient time is allotted for all activities.

Pupils accurately measure pieces of metal. After reviewing basic math principles, groups of students identify proper and safe use of measuring devices. They discuss the safety procedures for other devices in the classroom. After a...
