Students investigate bird beaks to determine which physical adaptations are necessary based on the types of food the birds eat. They participate in a lab by visiting multiple stations to determine which beaks are most efficient, and...

Students investigate seed germination. In this lesson plan on scientific prediction, students conduct a scientific experiment using oat seeds.

Learners investigate how something at home uses physics to work. For this practical physics lesson, students develop a theory of their own to conclude how an object might work. This lesson plan includes a worksheet.

Students investigate DNA strands. They study the sequence to determine if it is DNA or RNA and write the mRNA nucleotide sequence. After stringing the beads together to create the mRNA sequence they translate it into an amino acid...

In this solubility product constant of sodium chloride worksheet, students gather the equipment needed and follow the procedures to determine the solubility product constant of a solute and demonstrate precipitation of a common ion to a...

Second graders draw and compare parts of volcano. They investigate parts of a volcano and distinguish between magma and lava.

In this science worksheet, students examine the topic in order to solidify knowledge covered in the curriculum using puzzles and creative games.

Young scholars examine the environmental impact of global warming. In this environmental science lesson, students design and conduct an experiment about the effect of temperature on paramecia. They write a lab report about their experiment.

Learners examine the Michigan state quarter and discuss the effects glaciers have on land formation. They perform an investigate using ice cubes and sand to show how glaciers have carved the land.

Ninth graders investigate whether stronger hurricanes are signs of global warming. In this environmental science instructional activity, 9th graders research both sides of the issue about global warming. They debate for or against this...

Third graders explore worms in multiple ways. In this instructional activity on worms, 3rd graders search for worms in their natural environment, record data on worms, and dissect worms.

Students use a balance and weigh a rock sample. They weigh the rock suspended on a sling in a glass of water. They tabulate the rock's density using the two weights and compare the density of various rocks of similar sizes.

Students investigate the composting process through a variety of experiments. In this ecology lesson, students discuss the benefits of composting. They examine how compost affect plant growth.

Third graders examine the San Francisco oil spill and the effects it has had.  In this investigative lesson plan students view a demonstration on oil clean up and how it works.  They see how wildlife is rehabilitated, how the...

How can you describe heat of fusion in a way the class understands and relates the importance of this concept to present day issues? In this third lesson of the series, learners conduct an experiment, demonstrating the flow of heat...

Searching for simple ways to teach mitosis to high schoolers? Using colored chalk and onion root tips, pupils visually demonstrate what they view when looking through the lens of a microscope. There are also various ways to expand the...

How much information about you is out there? Scholars explore this question as they investigate data breaches and how these violations occur. They then take part in an activity where they research how easily people could get access to...

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

It's all relevant, really. Individuals use the scientific method to learn more about elements, atoms, and their placement on the periodic table. They conduct experiments using materials common in nature to explore how elements affect our...

Lab sheets for three different crime scene investigation activities are tucked into this resource. In the first activity, inquisitors examine a variety of fibers, including the fiber found at "the crime scene," under ultraviolet light....

Here is a full-fledged investigation of light waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and element spectra. Physicists research a scientist that contributed to our understanding of the behavior of light. They take notes on your lecture, and...
