Students participate in several density lab activities in order to clarify the misconceptions that solids sink and liquids float. Students work with triple beam balances to find mass of objects to calculate density.

Tenth graders distinguish between chemical and physical properties and changes in matter when given specific examples. They view a video of sports activities. Students chose their favorite sport and design an experiment to improve sports...

Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.

High schoolers conduct research in order to find the effects of properties exposed to heat and how they change temperature. They consider the effect of sunlight upon objects that are placed outside with the help of an experiment. They...

In this deducing density worksheet, students follow the procedures to set up an experiment about objects floating in water and liquids of different densities, answer questions, collect data and complete charts.

Students explore volcanoes. In this science lesson, students discuss the characteristics of volcanoes and view a video segment about a volcano. Students examine plate tectonics.

Students investigate the flow of electricity and how it effects different objects in the classroom as being classified as an insulator or conductor. They work in teams to test the conductivity of different classroom objects after making...

Ninth graders generate and analyze data to determine which and how much of two polymers best absorb oils, formulate procedure to accurately determine how many times its own weight particular polymer can absorb, and develop understanding...

Sixth graders investigate the difference between rocks and minerals. They name the three kinds of rocks (sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic) and know the differences between them.

Students explore how to show evidence of subshells and electron filling on the visual scale. They examine subshell filling and evaluate unknowns based on the atomic emission spectrum. Students design an experiment to identify colors of...

Students study the relationship between the average global temperature and carbon dioxide emissions.  In this weather lesson students develop a test scenario using a model then read and interpret graphs of data. 

Sixth graders explore geometry by utilizing colored cubes in class. In this volume lesson, 6th graders identify the different shapes they can create using their colored cubes and identify the formula for finding volume. Students create...

Students observe the oil can scene with the tin man from a clip from "The Wizard of Oz" and answer the question, "What can we learn about rust from this scene?". They take 2 tubes and 2 nails, adding 1 salt packet to 2 ml of distilled...

Fifth graders learn how ground-level ozone is an air pollution problem. Students measure ozone levels and graph the results.

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

First graders explore different types of Native American shelters. In this Native American homes lesson, 1st graders compare the shapes of shelters used by Native Americans. They build a home using the program "Community Construction...

Young scholars explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. For this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Young...

In this math worksheet, students find the area of all the different types of geometric shapes from the memory. They write all the formulas and explain the meanings of the variables.

High schoolers think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is...

Students observe solids and identify parts that make up the surface area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface are of solids and cones. They find polygons and solids in the real world.

Students use technology to graph and compare angles. In this geometry activity, students range of motion in the environment. They identify the missing parts of polygons using similarity and congruence.

Students investigate angles of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between angles and the number of sides in a polygon. They differentiate between sumilarity anf congruence in angles and sides.

Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.

Seventh graders create a model of an ecosystem and label it to show structure and function. They research the food web of an aquatic animal and also trace energy flow from the primary producer up the food chain.
