Students explore the parts of the cell. In this cell lesson plan, students use foods to create cell models that represent the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi bodies...

Students consider the connection between the past and future landscape of Quail Island. In this visual arts lesson, students observe existing artwork, art vocabulary, and connections to the role of social sciences when painting...

Students study Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory and how he applied it to orchids.  In this evolution lesson plan students repeat Darwin's orchid pollination experiment.

How much fat is in this? Scholars first read some background information on the caloric content of fats versus carbohydrates, and then use that knowledge to analyze foods they regularly eat. They will look at 5 package labels for the...

Observations are a key step in the scientific method. In a fun activity, kids learn more about a mammal that they know, such as their own cat, a class hamster, or a friend's dog, through making detailed observations. In addition, they...

This worksheet lists background information for a lab on the topics of atom smashers, accelerators or colliders. It clearly states the Rules of the Game -- science laws that apply. Student do the lab and track their results in the given...

Young scholars define what inertia is in their own words. In this physics lesson, students observe what happens to their action figure as the skateboard stops suddenly. They apply Newton's 1st law to real world situations.

Students investigate the concept of Veggie Gardening and develop the plans for a successful yield of crops. They answer some practical questions and then apply the information to the horticulture garden. The project includes finding the...

This discovery student page offers students an opportunity to work as a team to discover the shape of an object they cannot see. It is an experiment which parallels particle physicists dilemma in not being able to see very small...

For this environment worksheet, students read three different case studies in order to apply them to the categories of finding the best possible choices to make for helping a community flourish.

In this internal systems and regulation worksheet, students correctly decide if given statements are true or false. Students apply information learned about the circulatory system to the given statements to determine statements of truth...

In this periodic table I quiz, students select the best answer to the given questions. Students apply their knowledge of the periodic table and the arrangement to correctly answer the questions presented.

In this genome interactions worksheet, students read the passage about genome interactions then apply the knowledge to answer several short answer questions.

In this heat of combustion lab, students measure the heat of combustion for paraffin wax, butane, and cheetos. Students will apply the 1st law of thermodynamics to calculate the heat lost by the fuel and the heat gained by the water to...

In this calorimetry lab, students apply the information read about a calorimeter to conduct a scientific investigation. Students record their data in a chart. Students use the information from the chart to calculate specific heat of...

Students apply the knowledge of Bernoulli's Principle and construct simple aerodynamic designs. In this flight physics lesson, students explore the history of man's interest in flying and the forces influencing an object in flight by...

Learners describe the physical characteristics of a familiar model and apply it to an unfamiliar one.  In this investigative instructional activity students become familiar with rock characteristics by participating in a candy bar...

Learners explore the Great Barrier Reef. In this environmental stewardship lesson, students conduct research regarding the Great Barrier Reef and examine methods to preserve the Reef. Learners apply the RAFT method to prepare a final...

Young scholars study the term photodegradability and how it applies to the 6-pack loop ring.  In this materials lesson students test photodegradability of the 6-pack plastic ring.

Students create a model of the distances of the planets in the solar system using sheets of toilet paper and markers. Generally accepted orbital parameters are applied.

Ninth graders apply the skills of kitchen equipment and management.

Students apply problem solving techniques to answer a question. After reading a passage, they compare and contrast three species of whale in a quantitative fashion.
