Students create a garden.  For this ozone lesson, students discuss ozone injury, identify plants sensitive to ozone, and then plant their own ozone garden.

Set up stations around your science lab to introduce youngsters to different equipment. They examine a beaker, graduated cylinder, ruler, balance, and thermometer. The said worksheet is not included, but you will find a few useful tips...

Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. In this general science lesson, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.

Sixth graders explore Japanese Quail. They generate and record scientific questions about the quail. Students gather information from various sources and record their data. They compose an inquiry report and include it in a portfolio.

Students study soil and its composition. In this soil composition lesson, students study examples of soil during several days of aeration. Students summarize their data, organize it, and must be able to explain their findings.

First off, Newton's laws of motion aren't often taught at 2nd grade, so this lesson may be more appropriate for upper elementary learners. It begins with a discussion and demonstration of the laws of motion, and then has individuals...

Students consider various scientific research in order to arrive at their own conclusions as to whether global warming is occurring and if it constitutes a problem.

Here is a fine lesson plan on geology designed for high schoolers. Learners use rocks, fossils, and other geological clues to determine the geology of an area. Then, they make recommendations to a fictitious city council about the...

Young chemists have unknown compounds they need to sort. Performing three different tests on each, the chemical behaviors they observe become the basis for data analysis. 

First graders explore and evaluate the use of both standard and nonstandard forms of measurement. They use noodles to measure the lengths of each line they have drawn. They glue the noodles to the page under the given line.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students create a sextant. Using their sextant, students measure the height of tall objects. Students explore how sailors used sextants to identify their location on the ocean. They research how sextants are created.

Students apply the principles of aerodynamics by constructing styrofoam airplanes. By using simple tools and materials, they improve their spatial visualization abilities while increasing motor skills. After small groups of students...

Learners explore navigation principles by observing, measuring, and interpreting data to determine locations. Using a compass, compass rose, and a transit, they plot courses and discover the workings of the Global Positioning System...

Fourth graders explore how to play marbles while learning the scientific concepts of force, motion, mass, acceleration, friction, and inertia.

Young scholars identify the different types of measurements used in industry. For this technology lesson, students investigate how much power CEENBoT has. They collect data and graph results.

Students, after designing model wings, demonstrate an understanding of wing design by testing models of the wing types both experimentally and by computer modeling in FoilSim and then presenting their results.

High schoolers develop an experiment to measure the amounts of ground level ozone present in their area. They collect data, access a related website and compare measurements. They present their findings.

Learners participate in an investigation of winged organisms. Working with calipers, students measure the wing span of several butterflies from different areas. After recording their measurements, learners use their data to explain...

Learners use scientific methods during field and lab investigations. Students collect specimens and make measurements using the metric system. Learners describe biotic and abiotic factors in an estuary and design a model.

Students examine electricity, what its uses are and how it works.  In this exploring electricity lesson students study voltage, resistance, current and OHM's law. 

Students determine the concentration of acetic acid when the concentration of the base with which is titrated is known. They investigate how to weigh a sample using the balance, measure volumes using graduated cylinder, explore the...

Eighth graders examine the concept that the sun is the ultimate source of energy for living things. They conduct an experiment in which they roast marshmallows over a flame that has been produced from methane gas, which originates from...

Students are introduced to the early peoples living in the Jewett Mine area. After viewing transparencies, they view pictures of the mine today and its main area of production. For each picture, they develop symbols and captions about...
