Students examine Newton's Laws. In this law of motion lesson, students observe Newton's three laws of physics demonstrated by the teacher. They apply other examples to Newton's first law of inertia.

Students construct a car based on directions given. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Students explore Newton's three laws of motion using a variety of activities. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate the average speed of a vehicle they constructed using distance and time information. They identify and draw the...

Students identify the parts and functions of a mussel. They explain how its physical adaptations help it survive in its habitat. They label the parts as a quiz to complete the lesson.

Students evaluate the friction of tennis sneakers and redesign them to increase friction. In this physics lesson, students calculate starting, sideways and forward stopping friction. Using quantitative data, they prove that redesigning...

Third graders investigate physics by conducting an experiment.  In this gravity lesson plan, 3rd graders create a ramp using books and paper which they roll a marble down.  Students utilize the scientific method to predict and...

Students discuss the importance of power grids in power generation. In this physics instructional activity, students explain the impact of power failure. They investigate the power blackout in 2003 and discuss their findings.

Fifth graders apply the pattern of a line dance to different music tempos.

Fifth graders examine two related organisms that live in different environments and compare how the physical characteristics of each organism provided it with survival advantages unique to its own environment.

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

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...

Students weigh out the proper amount of silver nitrate and prepare the silver nitrate solution. They observe what occurs when pure copper is added to silver nitrate solution. Pupils determine whether the change in the appearance of...

In this biology learning exercise, students engage in the reading of the rights of educators to teach concerning the issue of using animals for educational purposes.

Sixth graders explore the effect of healthy diets and exercise on physical and mental wellness. For this health lesson, 6th graders compare food intake to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Students evaluate levels of activity and...

Students investigate why some objects float or sink in water. In this physics lesson, students calculate the density of clay ball using a mathematical equation. They write a complete lab report about the experiment.

Students study dinosaurs in science and conduct online research to gather written information about his or her dinosaur. Then, in art class, they sketch their dinosaur and create an accurate three-dimensional dinosaur model out of paper...

Young scholars explain what the term watershed is by creating a model. In this science, geography activity, students demonstrate how the water moves in a watershed. Additionally, young scholars learn about point source and nonpoint...

Students research national parks. In this science lesson, students view a video about the national parks and discuss the environments found within the national parks.

Young scholars construct science experiments based on nursery rhymes and student stories, including: Humpty Dumpty, the Three Little Pigs and Charlotte's Web.

Students research sites about Gila monsters. They explore the physical characteristics and defense mechanisms that help Gila monsters survive in the desert. Includes photographs and a diagram.

Students analyze the physical characteristics, behavior, distribution and migration patterns of the black-faced spoonbills.

Students examine the chemical and physical nature of eggs and their role in food preparation.

Students explore the concept of photosynthesis. They describe the light and light independent reactions of photosynthesis. Students relate physical plant characteristics to their functions. They distinguish between C3, C4, and CAM plants...

Students use a simple physical model of the Earth, sun, and moon to understand why the moon changes phases from the perspective of Earthly observers. They hold up balls representing the moon in a room with a single light source to see...
