In this math worksheet, learners practice finding the solutions to the problems that focus upon the differential operators of vector fields.

In this sunspots instructional activity, students read about the large sunspots observed for thousands of years and their indication of solar storms. Students use given images to find the scales and physical sizes of the 3 sunspots shown.

Students discuss and define the term "scientific theory." They work in small groups to draft an overview of one theory including details about the theory's evidence and significance.

For this science worksheet, students examine how the universe is bound with the atomic particles and focus upon the findings of two historical scientists.

In this matter instructional activity, middle schoolers review the states of matter, including plasma. Students read about where plasma is found and then complete 3 short answer questions.

In this radio waves worksheet, students read about how broadcasting uses radio waves to deliver sound and how radio signals are received. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Students define terms and watch a segment from a film.  In this scientific theory lesson students work in small groups and draft a theory that was discussed in the program. 

Pupils observe the migration of monarch butterflies. They collect data regarding the number of monarchs they see, the location, the butterflies' behavior, the temperature and the date and time. Then they send their data to a university...

Students explore corresponding letters of the alphabet with the corresponding phonemes using farm animals. They create a classroom word wall of the items they saw on a trip to the farm or zoo. Students create pictures to go along with...

Students gain an understanding of scientific methods and use process skills (such as observing, classifying, and predicting) to solve a problem. They develop an understanding of the need for natural preservation.

Learners explore the causes of dyslexia. They view CT sans and MRIs to view the brain and how it responds. Students read reports about dyslexia. They discuss the nature of dyslexia, its cause, how to diagnose it, and its permanency.

Learners research and write reports about inventions and inventors. They develop graphic organizers to organize their information, and create reports on the impact of inventors and inventions.

Fifth graders explore electricity. In this electricity lesson, 5th graders experiment with open and closed circuits. Students determine how to properly connect a battery and bulb to illuminate the bulb.
