Students solve problems using dimensional analysis. In this chemistry lesson, students choose a problem and present it in class. The rest of the class will evaluate the solved problem on the board.

Students differentiate physical and chemical change. In this chemistry lesson, students list examples of those changes. They apply what they learned in a Jeopardy style team game.

Students observe that air exerts pressure, that heated air expands and that cooled air contracts. After the demonstration, students engage in a question and answer session about what they saw.

Students create and memorize movement phrases within a specified structure and develop duets from the solo phrases.

Seventh graders summarize how Earth processes today are similar to those that occurred in the past, and explain how slow geologic processes have large cumulative effects over long periods of time.

Fourth graders sing "Evening Bells" while the repeat sign and double bar in the music notation. They listen and dance to a Viennese waltz. They locate the Danube River.

Third graders use three-part harmony to sing a song.

Students construct and display a stained glass gothic window box made from cardboard boxes, color tissue or colored plastic sheets of mylar, and glue.

Third graders experiment with heat through investigations. They rub objects together and compare the relative differences in the amount of heat given off. They write in their journals about the results they find.

Students experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Students review the planets and major moons in the Solar System. In groups, they research and describe the various phases of the moon. They record their observations of the moon phases over a specific period of time and use the...

Third graders draw and interpret simple scale maps, use maps to move around efficiently or plans to propose actions. They use of a compass to specify and find directions. They display and discuss a map of the local region.

Students investigate the factors that affect the induced current in a loop of wire. They discuss Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law. Students identify the different variables that affect the magnetic flux and calculate the magnetic flux...

Third graders gather together as a class and share any facts or words about the science unit "Weather Elements". They listen to the story/poem, "Listen to the Rain" and recall any weather related words from the story.

Learners brainstorm a list of the benefits that Americans at all levels of society have enjoyed as a result of innovations in rail transportation/computers/microprocessors. They write a response from President Jackson to Martin Van Buren...

Students define technology and relate the definition to the production of electricity using nuclear energy. They also list the technologies involved and relate the use of these technologies to their effect on society in general, and...

Tenth graders discuss the techniques and tools scientists use to study about the earth, including techniques used to determine geological time scales. They share their personal experiences of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Students share what they comprehend about the space shuttle program. They are given information about the first space shuttle mission. Students work in groups to investigate the different shuttle missions from April 1981 through January...

Students evaluate the importance of hormones in living things. In this biology instructional activity, students experiment on carrots to differentiate how humans and plants reproduce. They collect data from experiment to answer analysis...

Students identify the relationship between black carbon and the weather.  In this investigative lesson students compare samples of black carbon with a color-scale and analyze others samples. 

Students build their own wind turbine. In this physics lesson, students calculate the power output of their wind turbines. They evaluate their design and make the necessary modifications.

This tutorial explains how to measure mass accurately on different types of measuring instruments.

Work with students to identify and understand the tools used to measure weather and how they're used.

From anemometers to weather satellites this resource identifies several tools used in measuring or forecasting the weather.
