Students use a variety of objects to test for ability to "stick" to a magnet. They perform an experiment to see that electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. They discover magnets attract and repel...

Ninth graders conduct experiments to determine what affects the rate of a pendulum's swing. Working in small groups, they identify an independent variable to study and create an experiment to test their hypothesis. When tests are...

Five basic law of physics and energy are listed here, with a simple explanation of what each actually means in the real world! Your young physicists will appreciate the concepts being made more relevant and the language being made more...

In this science worksheet, students examine the words and concepts related to forces in order to solve the crossword puzzle. The new vocabulary can be acquired this way.

In this science worksheet, students look for the words to fill in the crossword puzzle that is focused upon the concepts of light and optics.

Words, words, words! Each of these slides gives a wordy definition of a particular force, along with an example or diagram detailing that force. No photos or diagrams are shown, so make sure to demonstrate each concept for the class as...

These slides give sets of facts and trivia about gamma rays. Your physicists will learn the dynamics of scattering photons and energy involved in gamma ray bursters. The concepts are quite involved making this PowerPoint a nice addition...

Learners explore the geologic activity in Idaho. Using a digital atlas of Idaho, they discover basic concepts in geology and understand the tools in a digital atlas. Students explore rock records, and discuss information gleaned from...

Students compare and contrast the different types of alternative fuels. They create a concept map to understand their classification. They examine the properties of matter and energy as well.

Students explore the concepts of myths and stereotypes by examining their beliefs about myths associated with people from their state. They discuss whether or not certain myths and stereotypes or true, false or somewhere in between.

Students study atoms and their protons and neutrons.  In this physical setting lesson students work together to complete a lab activity. 

Pupils explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". In this physics lesson, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Pupils on roller blades and model cars of different weights are...

In this physics worksheet, students read about the concepts of speed, moments, and pressure. Students read about these forces and then use them while completing physics projects.

Learners engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of playing a game of tag with four players throwing balls at kids in the center. Those who are hit with the ball are out of the game until there are four kids in the middle...

Students explore the benefits of staying active by going on a hike.  For this physical education lesson, students discuss the concept of a hike, where a good place to hike is and what types of foods are necessary to stay nourished....

Students predict what happens to the balloon as the water in the flask boils. In this physics lesson, students explain why they made such prediction. After the demo, they give some real life examples of this concept.

Students form an understanding that there are many different types of sound. The core concepts are presented in the most basic form for elementary school. Also students investigate how sound travels.

Students investigate the concepts of magnetism and its properties. They construct a magnet and test foods for iron content. Then students define the use of a motor and make their own electric motor while working in small groups. Then...

For this chemistry worksheet, students create new and true statements while replacing false ones in order to properly define parts of the concept of bonding.

In this science activity, learners find the terms related to the concept of electricity and the answers are found by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.

In this science worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept of weather and the answers are found at the bottom of the page.

Second graders complete activities to measure motion and learn about the Earth's history. For this motion and Earth history lesson, 2nd graders discuss sound and complete a matching sound activity. Students then study the history of...

To show the magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object, scientists use a free body diagram. This simulation serves as an introduction to free body diagrams allowing scholars to build their own. Pupils select the proper...

Fire in the hole! Thrill your classes as they see what it's like to fire a cannon ball. Scholars practice aiming a cannon ball by altering first the firing angle, then the velocity, and finally both simultaneously. Can they discover the...
