Students describe how plate tectonics contribute to the development of volcanoes. In this earth science lesson plan, students examine the map of Hawaii and explore the physical and biological environment there. They write a story about...

Students explore Earth's seasons using an interactive website. In this earth science lesson, students watch video segments and explain Earth's seasonal milestones. They discuss the factors that causes seasonal changes.

Students explore how germs are spread. In this science instructional activity, students practice good hand washing practices and discuss how washing hands can prevent the spread of germs.

Students examine what amylase is and its history.  In this digestive instructional activity students study the effect amylase has on starch and how temperature affects the rate of activity.

Students explore the basics of DNA and its history.  In this DNA lesson students extract DNA from fruits and understand how it is used in forensics.

Students explore the history, inheritance and mutations of genetics.  In this genetic lesson students complete experiments on DNA sequences.

Learners investigate the different types of sundials and their history.  In this shadows and time of day lesson plan students build their own sundials. 

Students investigate the factors affecting the size of a crater. In this space science lesson, students collect data from the activity and graph them. They explain how velocity of impact relate to crater size.

Students research the contributing factors to the Earth's paleoclimate. They determine the relevant climate data and use it to construct a science argument. In the process, they access data, capture images of the data plots, and...

Twelfth graders study the history, progression and current uses for vaccines in the prevention of disease. They simulate an epidemic and experiment with pathogens.

Second graders identify the role of whaling in ancient Hawaii and the role of whales in Hawaii today, identify the migration route of whales and identify the whales that migrate to our Hawaiian waters.

Learners engage in an overview of solar and lunar calendars, their history and lore. Also, of the day and the month, and their relations to the rotation period of the Earth and the orbital period of the Moon.

Learners use the Internet to find events in space history to include in a timeline. They recognize the cause and effect relationships between events that happened in the exploration of space. They see how to use the TimeLiner software.

Students make models of sedimentary rock layers to explain how rocks form layers and represent ancient environments. Layers of sediment and fossils are added together to simulate the environment and connections to sedimentary rocks are...

Students examine the fossil remains of ancient sea creatures. They create casts of fossils and identify how sea fossils are formed and consider what type of information fossils can give to scientists.

Students become history detectives as they research, and later discuss, various theories about Rapa Nui. They study written language using symbols and create their own symbol language.
