Young scholars review what the heart does and why the muscles in the body need oxygen. As a class, they measure their pulse rate while they are resting and after they have jogged for three minutes. They are helped by their teacher to...

Students explore how a switch can be used to break a circut. Students construct a simple series circuit and use it for a purpose. Students read the "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch,or one of the "Katie Morag" stories which clearly shows...

Learners explore the effect of water, temperature and light on plant growth. Students are asked if they remember the LAW for plants. This is Light, Air(temperature) and Water, which all plants need for growth. Learners are divided...

Pupils identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal, and germination. Students recap the following information: that plants need light, warmth, and...

Learners identify how the pitch of an instrument can be altered. They complete a worksheet by labeling several images in order of pitch and then fill a bottle with water to create a sound that matches a pitch on a drawn card.

Pupils participate in a whole class discussion about solids, liquids, and gases. Students get involved in a teacher-directed experiment related to solids, liquids, and gases. Pupils complete worksheet, writing the names of the parts of...

Young scholars identify the changing states of water, water vapor and ice in the water cycle They investigate how each of these stages can be reversible. Students complete a worksheet describing the water cycle.

Students demonstrate an understanding of how simple machines work. They show how various forces affect movement and advantages of them. They also design a compund machine. Students decide which level of questions they want to do and...

Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Science stars examine the concept of energy by thinking about everyday situations. The lesson plan is incohesive. It lists goals for the student, but doesn't address all of them in the content. The best use of this resource would simply...

Students, in groups, use given materials to devise a way to deposit a ping-pong ball into a paper cup that is located in the middle of a 6-foot diameter circle, while standing outside the circle.

Drop a perfect project into your lesson plans. Groups use different building materials to create models of parachutes for food drops. After testing out their prototypes, they make improvements to their designs.

Students use an inclined plane to move a heavy load.

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 black holes worksheet, students use a formula for time dilation which causes delays in events that occur near the black hole. They solve 6 problems using the equation.

Students experiment with the concept of Newton's second law of motion. After building a ramp, they determine whether a large marble or a small marble will move farther, based on Newton's law. Students record their data on the provided....

Students investigate simple machines. In this simple machines lesson, students study how simple machines work. Students determine the function of various simple machines.

Students investigate the various uses of a paper cup. In this scientific inquiry instructional activity, students investigate various ways to use a paper cup by identifying its characteristics. Students sketch their discovery.

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.

Students 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 symbols. ...

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...
