What can shadows tell us about the changing season? Over several months, astronomy learners record length and position of an outdoor object's shadow, such as a flagpole. They apply the data to a growing hypothesis and note the...

Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

First graders investigate objects using rulers and magnifying glasses. They record their observations using a data-recording sheet and write a characteristic for each item they observe. They use the ruler to solve math problems.

In this measurements worksheet, students review how metric conversions work and the prefixes associated with the conversions. Then students complete 27 problems, 1 short answer, 14 matching, and 7 fill in the blank questions.

Students measure the temperature of three water sources. They collect data points every second for twenty five seconds for each sample using Lego Robolab temperature sensors, complete a worksheet, and analyze the data.

Students keep a detailed records of the growth and development of their larvae. They fill out an observation chart every day during the larval stage, and every4-5 days during the pupa stage. They summarize all of their data on a class...

Students practice using the different tools on the Sheet Metal toolbar. In this engineering lesson, students create a sketch given a set of procedures to follow.

Third graders measure wind direction. In this weather lesson, 3rd graders build a weather vane from a straw, skewer, spool, and flag. Students measure wind direction using their weather vane.

Create models of the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Working in small groups, your class can investigate metric conversions calculations. They will find the length of the waves in nanometers,...
