Students investigate the Law of Reflection and how light travels.  In this reflection lesson plan students produce data from their experiment then create a pencil tracing.

Students using a glass prism filled with water are able to see all of the visible colors found the sunlight.

In this viewing of a cell worksheet, students will read a paragraph about how microscopes work and will use a diagram of a light microscope to complete 2 short answer questions.

Students work together to complete an experiment over binary sources. They determine values for the orbital period of certain objects and interpret intensity changes. They also calculate a value for the period of precession of an...

In this radiation worksheet, students review the different types of radiation waves that come from space and the different telescopes used to detect this radiation. This worksheet has 17 true or false questions.

Fourth graders complete activities to study the sources of energy and forms. In this energy instructional activity, 4th graders discuss the origin of energy and define it. Students participate in several experiments to further study...

Students become aware of some of the objects studied in, and concepts associated with, high-energy astronomy. They do this by participating in card games that teach and review these concepts.

High schoolers explore the optimum angle for orienting a solar collector relative to the rays of incoming sunlight. They review equinoxes, solstices, and various locational ideas before students investigate using meters, light sources,...

In this irradiation worksheet, students simulate the effects of irradiation on bacteria growth by using UV light. Then students complete 6 short answer questions.

Students experiment with a simple periscope to see how it reflects light. They draw a diagram of the path a ray of light follows as it travels from an object, through the periscope, and into your eye.

Students discover why stars can only be seen at night. They participate in a read aloud of, "Night Sky" by Carole Stott and, "Switch on the Night" by Ray Bradbury. Using the sky objects described in the readings, they brainstorm and list...

Learners experiment with paper, light, thermometers and measurement to explore how the Sun's angle affects the temperature on Earth.

Students examine the types of light the sun gives the Earth. They describe the electro-magnetic spectrum and how to protect themselves from different types of light. They identify the layers of the atmosphere as well.

In this microscope worksheet, students read about how the electron microscope was created and how it works. Based on the reading, students complete 2 short answer questions.

Investigate the nervous system of an earthworm! Your class gets into pairs to test, record, and draw conclusions about the reaction earthworms have to different stimuli (sound, light, and smell).

Students explore CCDs or Charge-Coupled Devices. In this digital devices activity, students examine how CCDs are constructed, collect light, and create a digital signal.

Students listen to a lecture on broken bones. They review the proper first aid techniques and practice setting splints on one another. They observe X-rays and animal bones.

Students observe how the sun's rays can cause evaporation and discuss its role in the weather cycle. They discover what the sun's energy brings to plants. They examine how different types of technology can enhance the amount of solar...

Students investigate the concept of truth and how it is to be used in life. The lesson includes a story that illustrates the kind of life one should live. The story has a light and dark side to it. Then students role play an interview...

In this detecting disease worksheet, students will review the different tools scientists use to identify diseases including the steps of Koch's postulates. This worksheet has 14 fill in the blank and 4 short answer questions.

Students analyze a microscope and study what they do.  For this investigative lesson students study how microscopes were first invented, and how ray diagrams are used in conjunction. 

Eighth graders study the basic facts of polarization.  In this light waves lesson students demonstrate some activities illustrating interference patterns. 

Students review some basic physics concepts about light, explore redshifted spectra and Hubble's Law, and use them to find out how far away, and how powerful, gamma ray bursts truly are.

Young scholars watch a video on spiritual music, then engage in a discussion about the artists and styles mentioned in the video. They discuss vocal improvisation, and engage in a call and response to "This Little Light Of Mine.'
