Take your time with this lesson. Junior engineers read about different types of clocks and then work together to build a pendulum time-keeper. There are no hints as to how they might go about accomplishing this complex task, so you may...

The whole class discusses the differences between the two clocks: digital and a clock with hands. They discuss the differences between the hour hand and minute hand. Students are taught telling time to the half hour. They are introduced...

Students research water clocks online, investigate how water clocks work, and construct water clock that will keep time accurately for at least two hours without human intervention.

Traveling through space is an amazing experience, but it definitely takes a toll on the body. After reading an article and watching a brief video, learners perform an experiment that simulates the effects of zero gravity on the...

Students complete experiments to learn about their internal body clocks and physiological activities. In this internal body science lesson, students read "Body Clock Investigations" and complete a body temperature investigation.

Students consider familiar audio and imaging devices, researching and analyzing the differences between analog and digital versions. They then reflect on which versions of the technology provide a truer record over time.

In this climate change worksheet, students read the article, answer true and false questions, complete synonym matching, complete phrase matching, complete a gap fill, answer short answer questions, answer discussion questions, write,...

Students construct clocks and then learn how to read a clock face, tell time, and determine how much time has elapsed.

What is a Leap Year and why do we have it? Find out with this Leap Day/Leap Year response to reading activity in which scholars read a short passage and use their new-found knowledge to answer five questions with short...

Students identify and use the starts to tell time just as people had for thousands of years. They identify the stars that appear to rise in the east and set in the west, and that those stars near the North Pole appear to go in circles...

Students construct a paper moon clock to determine the moon's position. In this lunar position activity, students use the provided printout to create a moon clock. They use the clock to determine the moon's position in the sky based on...

Students apply binary code in software applications for computer engineers. In this binary code lesson, students read about binary code and its applications to computer engineers. They download software and read an online binary clock....

In this electron dot structures handout, new chemists read about electron arrangement and how to draw electron dot diagrams. They complete a chart with the mass number, atomic number, isotope notation, number of neutrons, and Bohr...

First in a two-part lesson on the greenhouse effect, this lesson involves a classroom demonstration of the phenomenon, and a lab group experiment with color and absorption. Although there are easier ways to demonstrate the greenhouse...

The cycle of energy is important to many different systems on Earth. Scholars use questioning and observation to investigate the differences between renewable and non-renewable resources and how they relate to global changes. They...

Special needs students practice completing everyday tasks such as organizing a day plan, reading a clock and completing simple math problems. They define the proper learning techniques for their disorder and utilize props in...

Young scholars read an online CNNfyi.com article related to the energy crisis in California. They calculate the monthly cost of running household appliances. They develop a list of alternative methods of energy sources.

Many learners have a tough time picking out pertinent information from a text or in class. Sometimes, all it takes is a study/reading guide to show them the way. The worksheet here focuses on taxonomy and classification, including...

Open this lesson plan by reading together about primary and secondary batteries (such as nickel-cadmium cells), problems they can cause in the environment, and how humans can minimize the damage. Afterward, little ones examine a...

Students explore the evolution of time measurement, and explain the relationship of sunrise/sunset to length of daylight. They collect data and calculations to determine length of daylight during a given day.

In this electric power worksheet, students read about the relationship between voltage, power and current and use the equation for power to find the voltage, power or current in nineteen problems.

For this longitude worksheet, students read about how to determine the longitude of location while at sea and they answer 5 questions about calculating longitude.

For this digital television worksheet, students read about the advantages of using digital television. They answer three critical thinking questions about the advantages and disadvantage of digital television.
