Students explore how wave energy that is generated and transferred in the ocean. They explore the aspects of a wave and how its energy affects the ecology of the seashore. Students engage in an activity that uses the nature of science...

Learners study hummingbirds and how they use Newton's law.  In this motion instructional activity students complete several activities and view videos of hummingbirds. 

A radio receives radio signals, converts them to an electrical signal, then converts this signal to a sound signal, and amplifies the sound so people can hear it. Class members use this information to create a short-wave radio antenna...

In this frequency worksheet, students use the speed of sound to determine the frequency in which sounds are heard in 5 different word problems.

Fifth graders investigate the relation between vibrations and pitch. They observe and discuss an experiment involving a bicycle and a piece of cardboard in the spokes, listen to a comb with cardboard, and listen to various sounds and...

Explore physical science by participating in a visual spectrum experiments. Budding scientists identify the colors in the color spectrum and view the colors in class by utilizing cellophane, flash lights, and other arts and crafts...

Make science come in loud and clear. Pupils learn about how a speaker works by building one. The scholars first learn about electromagnetic fields by building an electromagnet. Using that knowledge, they build a crude speaker using a...

In this how the ear receives sound worksheet, students examine and follow a flow chart to view the process of how sound travels within the human ear. Students place the flow chart in chronological order.

Learners see, and thus better understand, the vibrations that sound makes through this simple project.

Second graders complete activities to measure motion and learn about the Earth's history. In this motion and Earth history lesson, 2nd graders discuss sound and complete a matching sound activity. Students then study the history of Earth...

In this biology worksheet, pupils take part in an examination of the graphic organizer to determine the different types of environments and how they effect the survival of microbes.

Sixth graders watch a demonstration on how talking cans produce sounds. In groups, they compare and contrast the sounds from different sized cans. They participate in a variety of activities to discover how sounds are made and how...

In this physics worksheet, students design and build a signal generator. They write a lab report and answer 4 short answer questions about their design.

In this physics worksheet, students examine how phase-locked loop circuits works and answer 8 short answer questions about it. They explain how FM radio communication works.

Second graders look at different types of energy. In this energy activity, 2nd graders define energy and the difference between kinetic and potential energy. They see examples with falling books and a slinky.

If you can find Tinker Toys™, then this may be a fun assignment for your physical science class. Using the construction set and a few other toys, they examine the forces involved when it they are being played with. For each, they...

You can't b. cereus until you see this lesson plan! Young microbiologists learn to prepare deep well slides, observe two types of microorganisms, and compare and contrast their physical characteristics in this interactive and lively...

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Young scholars define electromagnetic radiation, list major categories and uses of electromagnetic waves, identify potential health risks with electromagnetic waves, and demonstrate understanding of Plank's constant by solving...

Students predict the shape of an unknown object by bouncing a ball on it. In this physics instructional activity, students relate this activity to how dolphins use echo-location to navigate. They analyze their lab result and discuss...

Sixth graders list the different forms of energy. For this physics lesson, 6th graders identify what form of energy a certain object possess. They explain the law of conservation of energy.

Students calculate the values of electron binding energies. In this physics lesson, students solve for different wavelength characteristics of X-rays. They present their findings to the class.

Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find spring...
