Students display what they have learned about bridges as they construct their bridge. They present their projects to the rest of the class. They compare and contrast the construction of the bridges.

Students simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.

Ninth graders study the origin and organization of the solar system. They investigate the Earth's place in the system and how planetary motions explain natural phenomena observable from Earth.

Students create maps of snow cover for each continent by conducting Internet research. After estimating the percentage of continental snow cover, they present their findings in letters, brochures or Powerpoint presentations.

Learners use satellite images to track to movement patterns of deer and examine deer behavior. They write stories about a day in the life of a field scientist.

Students take an imaginary hike in two opposite directions along a lake. They view and interpret satellite images and discuss the pros and cons of hydroelectric dams.

This activity helps students recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. The student's will develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional and traditional measuring tools....

Learners become scientists, and learn about the usef of seismic technology to map patterns of rock formations below the surface of the Earth.

This hands-on, inquiry based instructional activity is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Students use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop....

To get a better idea of how meteorologists make weather predictions, students will begin their own weather journals and make rain gauges.

In this lesson plan students learn how to use a thermometer and compare changes in temperature using water in the fridge and water in the freezer. Helps students create charts to analyze data.
