Students examine science. In this scientific method lesson, students are introduced to what every experiment contains (hypothesis, critical thinking) and how an experiment is conducted. They watch a demonstration and then work...

Students develop patterns and combinations of movements into repeatable patterns. The video "Stomp Out Loud" with the percussive/dance group Stomp, is used to show students an example of the sequences they are going to create.

Students conduct an experiment to determine what happens to heat energy during a chemical reaction. They examine an endothermic reaction by observing a chemical reactions.

Students create environments to demonstrate how earthworms interact with their surroundings.

Students analyze and experience the scientific method. They discuss the various steps of the method, conduct various experiments, and write a three-paragraph essay regarding their conclusion.

Students conduct a lab to determine the best way to separate a variety of mixtures choosing between paper, thin layer and column chromatography. They use chromatography techniques to identify unknown substances and submit a lab report on...

Students determine the concentration of an unknown solution. This task assesses students' abilities to state hypothesis, develop procedures for investigation, plan for recording and organizing observations and data, collect data, create...

Students design and conduct an experiment to investigate what happens when salt and ice come together and to determine if one form of salt is better for melting ice on steps and sidewalks.

Students design and conduct an experiment to test their ideas about how to speed up or slow down the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. They have access to an array of physical and chemical factors that might influence enzyme...

Students design and conduct an experiment to compare the water-holding capacity of sand, soil, and moss. They measure the change in weight for each material after adding the same amount of water to each material.

Students determine the most appropriate site for a car wash, based on each site's soil characteristics (chemical, physical) and topographic features. They perform an experiment to determine the changes to three different soil types when...

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

Pupils work together to complete a 757 Glider kit. They use a GPS to discover how it operates in all weather landings. They complete different obstacles with the glider as well.

Students compare their unknown serum against a set of known serum standards and determine the animal source of their serum. They write a lab report to communicate their results.

Students review the components of the scientific inquiry method. In groups, they apply this method to various experiments they are given to complete. They also use the correct scientific habits of mind when researching different concepts.

Seventh graders read and follow the instructions on the worksheet. They make a table of their results. Students use about 100 cm^3 of water and ice mixture. They heat the water/ice with a Bunsen burner. Temperature is recorded every 30...

Seventh graders read the directions printed on their worksheet and follow them carefully. They set up a beaker with a tripod and Bunsen burner under it. They record the temperature of water every 30 seconds. Students graph the data and...

Students take true and false pretest, and explore and practice basic principles of microwave cooking and how to use and care for it properly while preparing foods. Students watch teacher demonstration and then prepare their own bags of...

Students investigate how to make a lever. In this construction lesson plan, students explore how to construct a lever using dog and tail templates, cardboard, and fasteners. Students construct their simple machine in order to learn about...

Students practice archery. In this archery lesson, students see how to shoot the bow and hit a target. They attempt to hit balloons that are attached to a target.  

Students explore the density of soap. In this science instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to find which types of soap will float. Students make a hypothesis and record their observations.

Students examine seven spiders and put them into two or three groups based on their structural similarities. In groups, they create a cladogram proposing possible ancestral relationships. Students design an experiment related to their...

Students simulate online the formation of Ape Cave, in order to better explain its construction. They observe, illustrate and discuss geological features of this lava tube.

Learners build a fish trap across a small stream. The purpose of the trap is to collect baseline data of Oncorhynchus kisutch, Coho salmon, smolt numbers coming out of a spring-fed pond. Other biological data also be measured.
