For this online interactive reading comprehension worksheet, students respond to 11 multiple choice questions about Bradbury's Farenheit 451. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

In this solar flares and coronal mass ejections worksheet, learners create a Venn Diagram with given data about solar flares and Halo CMEs. Students answer 6 questions about the events and the probability of each type of event occurring...

Seventh graders investigate with light rays. In this light lesson, 7th graders determine the angle of reflection using simple materials. They continue the investigation by exploring the theory that light which is not reflected or...

Students using a slide made out of aluminum foil and pin holes observe visible light.

What is a prism? A place for light waves that commit minor refractions! The thorough resource includes three hands-on investigations covering light reflection and refraction; mirrors, lenses, and images; and optical systems. Subject...

A parabolic mirror toy demonstrates how concave mirrors objects reflect light and produce a realistic image at their focal point. This resource probably doesn't explain any more than the printed insert that accompanies such an apparatus...

Young scientists compile everything they have learned into a report in the fifth and final lesson in a unit on the visible light spectrum. Access to photos from observatories, telescopes, and satellites allows learners to compare...

When the sun's rays can't reach the producers in a food web, where does all the energy come from? Extreme environments call for extreme food sources. Young scientists investigate creatures that appear to get their energy from methane...

Star light, star bright ... just how long can you wish on that star? Well, it depends on its mass. The presentation explains the life cycle of stars based on their sizes. Scholars learn about the life expectancy of a star based on the...

Students complete different missions to examine the topic of x-ray sources. They use satellite images and websites to gather the information they need to complete the lesson. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

High schoolers test commercial sunscreens or sunglasses for accuracy of their Sun Protection Factor. They devise a method for testing UV beads with a visual clues which they publish as research. They investigate occupations such as...

Students compare rates to altitude. They conduct a class discussion about the results.

Students investigate the formation of infrared images. In this physics activity, students discuss the different application of infrared imaging technology. They compare this to images formed by visible light.

Learners identify the types of light on the visible spectrum. They identify relationships between angles and mirrors. They state how they use light in their everyday lives.

Second graders explore solar energy. For this science lesson, 2nd graders use hand lenses to see that light energy can be converted to heat energy.

Students conduct a close examination of the atom's electrons, and discover how to theorize the energy levels, observe the brightness of light, classify colors, and measure temperature.

Students examine the observation of "coronal holes," by x-rays, also about related fast streams and moderate magnetic storms that recur at 27 day intervals. They study NASA'S great observatories.

Sixth graders are read The Way to Start a Day by Byrd Baylor or Bear Shadow by Frank Asch. They discuss how the sun affects their daily life, 6th graders are encouraged to think about the light we recieve from the sun and how man has...

Students are introduced to the wave nature of light. In groups, they discuss Young's experiment and how diffraction and interference demonstrate the wave nature of light. Using examples, they show constructive and destructive...

Students examine the life cycle of c-ferns. They complete experiments on the organisms exposing them to differnet amount of UV radiation. They collect data and analyze their results.

In this colors of light worksheet, students read information about color and list in order the 7 colors of light. Students answer 4 questions and draw colored ray diagrams to explain the answers.

Students differentiate cold and warm-blooded animals using infrared images. In this physics instructional activity, students compare the images formed by infrared and visible light. They explain how scientists use infrared technology to...

Atomic theory, experiments that contributed to our knowledge of matter, atomic structure, isotopes, and ions are covered in these 33 slides. Quality diagrams and labeled charts will help activate understanding. The presentation concludes...

How did scientists discover what lies beneath the earth's surface? Dig a hole? X-ray vision? Guide your class through the types of seismic waves and how these waves helped shed light on Earth's many layers. The included resources provide...
