Students research and chart extreme weather events on a timeline. In this extreme weather lesson plan, students interview older people who have experienced extreme weather events. Students complete a worksheet based on the information of...

Students examine the steps of the scientific method. They define related vocabulary terms, view a PowerPoint presentation, and apply and identify the steps of the scientific method for an online experiment scenario.

Students recognize that body design affects balance. They investigate the basic structure of a dinosaur body to see how it achieved balance, then build any dinosaur body system they want, using small marshmallows and extra straws as needed.

Students break into four groups, starting at different stations. Each station should take about 10 minutes depending on prior knowledge of the topic. They then rotate when everyone is finished to the next station and discuss answers of...

Learners explore frogs.  In this cross curriculum literacy and frogs lesson, students predict the plot and then listen to the book The Wide-Mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner. Learners define "predator" and identify foods a frog might...

Students apply cause and effect relationships to water pollution in a stream. In this pollution lesson students recognize the importance of clean water in their daily lives. Students accompany "Fred the Fish" as he travels down stream....

Students evaluate geography by drawing an image in class. In this river activity, students identify a list of vocabulary terms associated with bodies of water. Students identify how a river is formed and draw a picture of one including...

Students conduct an experiment using the steps of the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson plan, students experiment with temperature and record their findings using the scientific method. Students complete a data sheet...

Students compare weather data and draw conclusions. In this climate change lesson plan, students determine whether data collected over a period of ninety years shows a warming trend. 

Tenth graders identify stars based on their line spectra. In this astronomy lesson, 10th graders analyze spectrograph and determine the elements present in the star. They explain the relationship between temperature and star classes.

Third graders study machines. They watch a video about and identify and chart machines they find at home and at school. They design and build simple and compound machines, create an advertisement for them and attempt to sell them at the...

Students study Galileo and his scientific discoveries. They complete a series of experiments/model constructions, using 17th century equipment and procedures, to "recreate," demonstrate and explore the various discoveries of Galileo.

Students develop an ability to distinguish between simple error, misconduct and fraud. Students are lead to consider a widening circle of the consequences of misconduct and fraud. They expand their knowledge on the self-regulating...

Students examine different types of extreme weather and how to prepare for them. In this weather lesson students explore different types of extreme weather and create disaster preparation posters for different types of extreme weather.

Students research the life cycle of a star. In this astronomy lesson plan, students work in groups to research on stage in stellar evolution and report back to the class their findings. They will discuss as a class the order of the...

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine the temperature tolerance of yeasts. For this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.

Students apply statistics, and graphical interpretation to economics, the environment and populations. For this statistical lesson students construct graphical displays and classify data.

Students identify and describe the poles of a magnet. They demonstrate how the poles interact with one another.

Learners study and identify different types of simple machines and how they work. They design a simple machine.

Students complete a unit with cross-curricular activities to learn about a healthy body and maintaining their health. In this health lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about good health, a healthy diet, healthy foods, healthy...

Students practice trends forecasting to predict the weather. For this forecasting lesson plan, students learn how meteorologists predict the weather by looking at weather trends. They then predict their own forecast, analyze the results,...

Students recognize the elements of an analog weather forecast.  In this weather forecasting lesson, students use a website and look for trends, persistence and climatology in weather forecasting.  Students complete a...

Students interview an Elder to determine ways of forecasting the weather.  In this weather lesson, students use the information from an interview to make a weather prediction.

Students recognize the three main types of clouds. In this clouds lesson, students create a cloud mobile to understand clouds.
