Students observe organisms found in pond water with a microscope. In groups, they discuss how single-celled organisms satisfy their needs for food, water and air. They compare and contrast the needs of macroscopic and microscopic...

Students poll what sounds are caused by vibrations in things. They collect a variety of household items to test out their theories. A variety of experiments commence. Discussion of high and low tones occur.

As an experiment is demonstrated for them, students write down their observations and brainstorm questions that can help them understand what they saw. After watching the experiment again—which demonstrates a soda can collapsing due to...

Students watch the teacher make a cloud. In this water cycle lesson, students discuss the water cycle and see the formation of a cloud. The teacher leads the discussion including the role of water vapor, smoke and air pressure.

Students research and analyze the causes and sources of Canada's extreme weather conditions. They conduct an experiment, complete a worksheet and predict the most likely locations for extreme weather conditions.

Fifth graders use the scientific method to conduct experiments on the temperature effects on organisms. For this temperature effects on organisms lesson plan, 5th graders observe and record the hatching or the developing of organisms...

Students participate in a lesson designed to illustrate these concepts using simple materials. They use Science process skills to observe, measure, predict, make inferences, and communicate while completing the activity. Proper safety...

Students observe the growth of a seed, predict what will happen when seeds are planted without soil, and conduct an experiment using a hydroponics system.

Young scholars 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 explore the distribution of plant seeds. In this science lesson, students discuss plants that explode in order to spread their seeds. Students create pea shooters and use dried peas to see how far they will travel.

Students design and conduct an experiment on Galileo's Rule of Falling Bodies. In this physics instructional activity, students collect and analyze data. They create a presentation and share it with the class.

Students examine how one of the ways the mining companies extract coal is through the flotation method where air bubbles float coal particles to the top of a solution. The coal is scooped off and separated. They participate in the...
