Beat the heat using sensors. Scholars research normal body temperatures for humans and a specific animal. In groups, they create sensors that monitor body temperature, as well as the weather. The goal is to reduce the occurrence of heat...

In this hibernation instructional activity, students read about the differences between hibernation and torpor. Then students determine how long it takes for an animal to warm up or cool down its body. Students complete 4 short answer...

The human body can regulate itself through sweating and resting. Learners with visual impairments discuss how the body changes when it is under stress and what it does to regulate itself. To start, kids use talking thermometers to take...

Condensing water warms the air around it. Young scholars consider this concept as they experiment with air temperature around evaporating and condensing water vapor. They simulate the formation of clouds to experience the associated...

In this gas behavior instructional activity, high schoolers answer 5 questions about gases, how pressure, altitude and temperature effect the behavior of gases and about Gay-Lussac's Law.

Some fish contain proteins that act like antifreeze in order for them to live in the frigid waters of Antarctica! High schoolers determine how much antifreeze a fish needs to lower its body temp to -2.5 degrees. Teachers act as a...

Students use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. In this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the active...

A solid review of the excretion system that presents diagrams and asks learners to name the labelled parts or to identify which parts perform the particular jobs stated.

Students investigate the skin surface to body area ratios for different animals.  In this seventh/eighth grade mathematics/science lesson, students explore heat transfer between an animal’s body and the environment.  Using...

Students make a water sampler and use proper techniques to collect water.They write a essay explaining the inter-relationship of factors such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, and phosphates in a lake that might cause a...

Fourth graders perform activities that involve electronic measurements through probe software. Students collect data and create a variety of visual formats: graphs, charts, tables, and gauges. They compare and contrast their data to...

Students measure the temperature change involved in the production of carbon dioxide by yeast. They also identify products and reactants in a chemical and balance the equation.

Students examine water, its function and how much you should consume.  In this water activity students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body. 

Students take a closer look at human skin. For this biology lesson plan, students describe the four functions of the skin as they complete a hands-on activity.

Students participate in a simulation of life on a deserted island. They apply their critical thinking skills and knowledge of oceans and islands to "survive" and ultimately return to safety. Lesson contains adaptations for all levels.

Students comprehend the four parameters of water quality. They perform tests for salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and clarity or turbidity. Students comprehend why scientists and environmental managers monitor water uality and aquatic...

In this human reproduction worksheet, students will review the male and female anatomy and the hormones involved in the development towards sexual maturity. Students will also review the events that occur during the three phases of the...

In this hibernation worksheet, students first read the passage below about animals who hibernate to adapt to the cold weather. They then answer the 10 questions at the bottom of the page.

It takes 225 million years for our sun to travel around the galaxy. The presentation covers astronomical units, light years, telescopes, types of stars, the life cycle of a star, and types of galaxies. This is the last lesson in a...

Students make predictions about a photograph of a humongous spider web, then read a news article about thousands of spiders that worked together to build it. In this biology and current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article...

Are all academicians allured with alliteration? Use this cross-curricular online resource to simultaneously expose your scholars to parts of speech and the genetic mutation causing albinism. Initial context gives students an introduction...

In this chemical compounds worksheet, students identify the types of intermolecular forces present in the given substances, calculate the heat required to convert a liquid to gas, and explain the ideal-gas law. This worksheet has 5...

Students list reasons why water is important and investigate and graph the freezing points of different solutions.

Students explore the lives of bgeahvers. They identify the physical and behavioral adaptations that help beavers survive in their environment. Students compare and contrast how beavers influence the ecology of both forest and aquatic...
