Students locate points using longitude and latitude coordinates. They locate their home using longitude and latitude, explore the uses of GPS, and accurately use a GPS.

Learners explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.

Students investigate atoms as particles that make up all matter. They examine the mass of matter.

Young scholars explore how scientists work. In this scientific method lesson, students use their senses to identify objects they cannot see. Young scholars are asked to think like scientists and make observations, comparisons, and...

Students learn the fundamentals and daily applications of simple machines.

Pupils investigate how temperature and pressure cause a material to change phase. They heat water to reclaim a gas. They demonstrate that different liquids evaporate at different temperatures.

Students participate in a qualitative discussion of the distinction between weight and mass, followed by a description of astronaut mass measurements in a zero-g environment.

Pupils investigate the history of the waterwheel and common uses for water turbines today. They construct an experimental waterwheel using a two-liter plastic bottle, measure the rate of revolution of a waterwheel, and complete a...

Students investigate the concept of a filter. They use simple supplies in order to construct one after watching a demonstration performed by the teacher. An important warning that the project water is not clean for drinking is included....

Students plant seeds in milk cartons, over the next two weeks, they watch the plants closely to see how they grow and change. They keep a photo journal to record the growth of the plant.

Students investigate the concept of heating and prevention of temperature increase while they design a platform made to hold gelatin that is exposed to heat from melting. Students make observations and rate the effectiveness of their...

Students study how to better their cohesion and communication skills.  In this investigative lesson students work in teams and learn how to communicate better as they help to solve problems and communicate their needs. 

Pupils construct their own magnet and wire device. In this inquiry lesson, students investigate the factors affecting the strength of magnetic forces. They manipulate different variable to determine their effect.

Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.

Students 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 work in small groups with a small set of 8 nuts and 5 bolts to assemble into combinations of 1 nut: 1 bolt, and 2 nuts: 1 bolt. They explore the outcome and discuss. Then a student mixes two clear, colorless solutions together...

Students predict the number of cells after a series of cell divisions.  In this cells lesson students create a graph of their results and create a patterned drawing. 

Twelfth graders explore the difference between natural and man-made environments.  In this renewable resources instructional activity students evaluate the economic importance of resources. 

Seventh graders study the parts of corn and explore the role of starch.  In this corn products lesson students prepare a model of water and stones.

In this friction activity, students use books, a bucket, string, weights, and more to test what happens to friction when they use wheels to roll an object instead of sliding it. Students also answer 5 questions.

Students explore art history by conducting an in-class activity. In this sculpting lesson, students examine previously created art sculptures in a textbook. Students utilize clay, sculpting tools and grey paper to create their own...

Fifth graders will research a biome (land or aquatic) and create a project (diorama, model or another idea of the student's choosing) which includes the geographic features of that biome as well as plants and animals found there and...

Students research about the July 20, 1969, moon landing. They demonstrate their knowledge of the first moon landing by creating peek-a-boo rocket books. Also they can make their own moon rocks with an easy-to-make dough.

Learners plan the first manned mission to Mars. They discuss, in small groups, some of the information that the group might have heard regarding the red planet and decide which types of occupations should be included in a crew for the...
