Students study waves and their characteristics.  In this wave lesson students calculate the speed of waves, wavelength and the period. 

Twelfth graders create an artistic version of a Vetruvian teen. For this anatomy lesson, 12th graders design an experiment to test the theory of the ideally proportioned man. They present their findings in class.

Sixth graders engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and connecting to represent and solve problems, using geometric models.

Learners watch a classroom demonstration, and experiment to discover the five ways that Earth's crust shifts along a fault.

Students demonstrate that electricity can flow in a circuit. They demonstrate safe practices during lab investigations.

Students analyze the environmental impact of pollution. They demonstrate an understanding of law, punishment and enforcement. Applying their knowledge, they create their own anti-pollution laws.

Third graders utilize computers and other technology to explain the solar system. Ten different stations involve students through laserdisc, research, art, GeoSafari, space toys, and the computer.

Students use a hopscotch course to simulate the problems birds incur as they are migrating due to loss of wetlands.

Students review primary, secondary, and intermediate colors. They use a worksheet to select the combination of colors they want to try on the spinners. They predict the outcome of the spinning colors.

Students research the Earth's ocean systems. They examine the impact of global warming on the oceans and the world as a whole.

Students become aware of the differences between ocean water and lake water by smelling, tasting and seeing. They distinguish between land and bodies of water on a globe and gain increased awareness of oceans and life.

Students explore the basic unit of life, the cell in this nine lessons unit. The cell structure of animal and plant cell functions and how they affect our world are probed in this unit.

Students define extinction, name four animals and two plant species that are extinct, list three reasons why animals and plants become extinct, and create ways that would help prevent extinction.
