Learners research topics related to zoos and zoo animals. They compare and contrast the size of animals, make a book of facts about bears, draw snakes, and write animal stories and poetry. They complete a series of writing and creative...

In this data analysis worksheet, 8th graders solve and complete 4 different problems that include determining the line of best fit for each. First, they write the prediction for an equation for each situation described. Then, students...

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Students explore gravitational force. Through experimentation, students observe the acceleration of objects when they fall. They examine air resistance, and how the human body is attracted to the earth. Students discover the...

Fifth graders work in teams of four to measure the rebound heights of a tennis ball dropped from four different heights. They investigate with the bouncing balls to measure changes in the type of energy they possess.

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

Young scholars' identify and analyze the levels of organization and the emergent properties through experimentation. Students' apply the differences in the properties of a plant before and after it has been subjected to a kitchen blender.

Students identify the letters of the alphabet. In this letters activity, students use an iPad to play games, draw pictures, and listen to videos about the alphabet. They use pipe cleaners to create their name.
