Learners examine animal reproduction by interpreting data and making arguments and then create their own graphs to explore relationships of organ systems. This lesson includes an individual worksheet and a reflective review question for...

Young scholars explore the beach. In this marine habitat lesson, students inspect sand grains, design beach profiles, classify marine life, and examine natural beach habitats. Young scholars use spreadsheets to record data from their...

Students write a proposal for a speech. Students prepare appropriate visuals for use in the proposed speech. Students produce one or more graphs that summarize the results from the experimentation. Students deliver an effective speech in...

Students experience the first lesson plan in computer servicing by observing computer components. They observe the internal workings of a computer during the lecture section of the lesson plan before dismantling a computer to identify...

Young scholars catagorize the types of garbage from going through a trash can provided by their teacher. They then chart the items on a graph and propose a solution to reduce the amount of garbage.

Young scholars design investigations to test various materials to prevent heat gain in frozen water. The task assess students' knowledge of scientific inquiry including the following skills: observation, data collection, measurement,...

Students investigate Newton's Laws of Motion and the Law of Conservation of Energy. They examine how a ball and half-ball behave and relate these laws to what happens to the ball. Students produce a graph of the data collected and...

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.

Fifth graders begin the lesson by identifying the different types of natural resources. As a class, they discuss how environments are destructed and how the loss of one natural resource can affect the economy. Using a map, they label the...

Learners calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. In this force and motion lesson plan, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Learners calculate and graph velocity and...

Young scholars use laptops and sensors to measure water quality and graph their results.  In this aquatics lesson students post their results to a website or email. 

Students study the anatomy and functions of a heart. In this heart study lesson, students read a book about the heart and study a plaster heart model. Students take their own pulse in various stages of rest as well as active...

Fourth graders practice using the scientific method.  In this results and conclusions lesson, 4th graders review data collected, create a graph of their data and make their final conclusions about the information collected.

Students explore human anatomy by graphing scientific data. In this vision lesson, students discuss how ophthalmology works and take their own eye assessment test using the Snellen chart. Students collect vision data from all of their...

Students discuss the components necessary to keep animal populations alive . Then they participate in a game where they interact as deer, food, water, and shelter. The activity demonstrates that nature is not static, but changes with the...

Eighth graders engage in an experiment which uses an inclined plane and balls of various masses to determine the effect a large object has on a small object. They study velocity, momentum, gravity and forces.

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

Students use graph paper to construct a graph and determine the slope of a straight line. They determine the weight (mass) of paper clips with a pan balance. Pupils weigh an unknown number of paper clips, and to interpret the graph to...

Students examine the concept of radioactive dating. In this radioactive dating lesson, students investigate how to determine the ages of fossils and rocks as they learn about half-life radioactive decay.

Eleventh graders examine a local body of water.  In this science lesson, 11th graders collect water samples to test.  Students analyze the data and make conclusions.  Students create tables and graphs of the data.

Young scholars complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. In this weather report activity, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month....

Students investigate recycling. In this environmental lesson, students design a recycling program for their school. Students collect data about how much recyclable materials they use in one week. Students also survey classmates about how...

Learners explore fruits and vegetables.  In this nutrition lesson, students generate a list of all known fruits and vegetables.  Learners cut out and compile pages for a weekly fruits and vegetable journal.  Students...

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.
