Eighth graders conduct internet research to produce a timeline of man's growth in understanding of concepts of motion and planetary motion through history.

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.

Protect the marshmallows! Groups create contraptions that will keep marshmallows in a cup, even after dropping them from a certain height. This is a fun way to model the shock-absorbing capabilities of spacecraft.

In this properties of matter worksheet, students complete 18 fill in the blank questions about mass, density, volume or weight.

In this properties of matter worksheet, middle schoolers answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.

Students name appliances that use electricity. They construct a simple electrical circuit. They predict whether a circuit work. They name components of an electrical circuit.

Young scholars identify that there are conventional symbols to represent the components in circuits. Students use these symbols to draw diagrams of circuits. They are reminded that electric circuits can be drawn in diagrams using...

Students observe an on-line activity to review the basics of electrical circuitry, then research answers to related questions on-line.In this lesson on changing components in a series circuit, students discover how different components...

Students explain that when a beam of light is reflected from its surface, it changes direction. In this virtual science experiment lesson plan, students complete an activity that requires them to investigate how flat mirrors reflect...

In this oceans quiz worksheet, students complete a 10 question multiple choice quiz covering a variety of concepts related to the ocean.

In this influential scientists worksheet, students read the definitions of 19 science professions. From 4 choices, students choose the correct name of the job that fits the definition. Example: studies birds (ornithologist).

Fourth graders observe a demonstration experiment showing air pressure. They explain air pressure by completing the worksheet.

Students examine how micro-organisms are living organisms that are often too small to be seen. They explain that micro-organisms may be beneficial or harmful.

Students explain that mirrors reflect light. They examine how when a beam of light is reflected from a surface, its direction changes.

Students participate in an online lesson to explain how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer in a series circuit by changing the number or type of components.

In this science:  space quiz worksheet, students answer twenty questions, not interactively, about outer space, then scroll down to find the answers.

In this magnetism quiz instructional activity, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions covering a variety of concepts about magnetism.

Students explore physics. In this science lesson, students discuss physics in their everyday lives. Students complete a physics worksheet.

Students investigate the concept of a watershed. They conduct research into the concept using a variety of resources. Students take a field trip to a local watershed to make observations. The outcome is a report concerning the outside...

Explore the mythology, structure, observational history, gravitational force, and orbit of Earth's Moon.

In this animated video segment adapted from NASA, astronomer Doris Daou explains how the forces of speed and gravity keep the moon in a constant orbit around Earth. [1:36]

An interactive simulation that teaches about gravitational force, circular motion, and astronomy by manipulating the sun, earth, moon, and a space station to observe the effects of gravity and orbital paths. This simulation can either be...

Move the sun, earth, moon, and space station to see how it affects their gravitational forces and orbital paths. Visualize the sizes and distances between different heavenly bodies, and turn off gravity to see what would happen without it.

This lesson explains how the moon affects tides on Earth and about the different types of tides.
