Students ask questions that can be investigated scientifically. They determine how to plan a fair test by changing one factor while keeping other factors the same, to use measurements to draw conclusions and use scientific knowledge to...

Students 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 convert...

Students investigate air and water pollution, and the conservation of natural resources.

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Learners use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.

Students participate in an online lesson to explain how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer in a series circuit by changing the number or type of components.

Third graders research ecosystems, the work of ecologists, John Muir's contribution to the environment and an endangered species of their choice. They read books, participate in discussions, and write reports.

Students feel and observe different types of materials. Using the internet, they sort objects based on the materials they are made from and justify their reasons for putting it in a certain category. They identify objects that could...

Students predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

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

Students 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. Students complete worksheet, writing the names of the parts...

Students place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different beakers...

Students 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.

Students work with a partner to brainstorm a list of as many human body parts as possible. Using that list, they circle any one of those that are bones. They are shown a model of the human skeleton and practice locating various bones. ...

Sixth graders collect soil samples and record the location of the samples by using GPS.

Students identify oviparous animals. They brainstorm a list of animals that lay eggs, read "Chickens Aren't The Only Ones" by Ruth Heller and then add to the list. Students complete a booklet that shows an egg and an oviparous animal.

Pupils identify that Idaho is a home to 168 species of butterflies and they are an important part of many habitats. They also identify how to use the Digital Atlas of Idaho and write a report regarding information of their assigned...

Students create a design for a school garden. In this garden design lesson, students analyze what plants grow best in their school's climate and work in teams to design a garden. Students measure the existing space, determine the...

For this science worksheet, students use the key code on the right to unscramble each of the scientists. They also match each of the scientists found to their correct description.

Students observe the behavior of termites and draw conclusions about their behavior. They record data as to termite behavior and recognize elements in the experimental design which must include a hypothesis.

Students explore the forest. In this ecosystems lesson, students rotate through sensory activity centers, brainstorm, and read about temperate forests.

Sixth graders explore the animals that live on the prairie and identify differences between amphibians and reptiles and the adaptations each have made to live on the prairie.

Students determine

For this pollution worksheet, students read about thermal pollution and how hot water affects wildlife. Then students complete 1 short answer question.
