Students measure the strength of a magnet and graph how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases.

Students investigate how a simple series circuit functions. They design and construct a working portable flashlight, develop a written plan for the flashlight, test their flashlight for functionality and reliability, and draw the series...

High schoolers model a sarcomere's action, they gain a kinesthetic and visual understanding of muscle contraction. They use this exercise stimulates the production of myosin and actin. Students use two colors of clay, make a "sandwich"...

Students conduct a series of experiments on water electrolysis. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain what happens to the molecules during the process. They cite real world applications of electrolysis.

Students discuss the different uses of energy. They examine the consumption percentages to do household tasks. They discover ways to reduce their energy consumption.

Students classify objects that magnets are attracted to and aren't attracted to. They also magnetize metal. They construct and use a compass. They develop a product which show they explain the properties of magnetism.

Middle schoolers explore the concept that magnets attract and repel items and exert a magnetic field that can vary in strength. They see evidence of the magnetic field of a small magnet. They see that there are forces on earth which...

Third graders compare life in the early 1900's with the life today. For this technology lesson, 3rd graders research about the development of a certain technological tool. They collect data and report findings in class.

Young scholars conduct a variety of experiments to explore gel electrophoresis. In this biology lesson, explain how this process separate DNA and RNA. They discuss the practical applications of this method.

Learners explore circuit boards. They determine that a complete circuit is needed to light the bulbs, experiment with the boards to develop strategies for finding where the hidden connections are, and develop strategies that can be used...

Fourth graders experiment to discover which items are conductors and which items are insulators.  In this insulators and conductors activity, 4th graders experiment and create a T-Chart.  Students are assessed on the...

Students conduct experiments and collect data to determine physical and chemical characteristics of acids and bases.

Students review new terminology and computer circuits and the value of a resistor. They complete three experiments, "Resistance Activities," Transistor Activities,"Diode Activities" and enter data, results and their findings on Student...

Learners investigate energy and energy transformations. They compare the various forms of energy, create the circuit and sketch the connections. In addition, they label the circuit to identify areas where energy transformation is present.

Students discover different types of energy. In this energy source lesson plan students compare different types of energy, renewable and nonrenewable. Students answer questions about the different types of energy and their impact on the...

Students explore renewable and non-renewable energy sources, discuss how each source was created, and identify and sketch out the cycle of energy for each renewable source.
