Learners explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Learners examine the objects over five days...

Students construct a rocket using soda straw. In this physics lesson, students determine the nose cone length that produces the best rocket. They explain the importance of using a control in an experiment.

Young scholars simulate photon transmission, scattering and absorption. In this physics lesson, students explain why some objects appear bright while others appear dark. They define photon and radiation in their own words.

Fourth graders study the planets of our Solar System collecting data on a worksheet. They use online tools to create a puzzle or other digital product using the information from their research.

Learners investigate the properties of force and gravity and their effects on everyday life. In groups, they test various balls by bouncing them on different surfaces and observe the properties. In another activity, they test marbles and...

These aren't exactly worksheets, but rather a selection of pdf files of different atmospheric or solar events. Print your chosen pdf file for each aspiring astronomer in your class, have them cut out the individual mini pages, arrange...

A striking PowerPoint that presents the Yohkoh Telescope, some information about its construction, and the amazing x-ray images of the sun that have been captured. Specific information about the electromagnetic phenomena is given. This...

Students determine the amount of air they use during rest and activity. They conduct experiments to calculate the number of breaths needed to empty a jug of water by exhaling through a tube into the container. Then, they figure how much...

Young scholars discuss the importance of a quiet, orderly study space. They read an article about organization. They discuss ways to create a study space in their own homes without spending money. They create a specific action-plan to...

Sixth graders understand the patterns of change observable on Earth as a result of the movement of the different bodies in the solar system. They identify the physical characteristics of the different components of the solar system.

Students participate in a gross motor and locomotor game of tag. A group of students, spaceship commanders, work together to capture all of the "aliens" in the class while wearing hula hoops and practicing a variety of locomotor movements.

Students visualize the relationship between acceleration and velocity as they maneuver a model spaceship in a 2-dimensional applet.

Young scholars examine how air takes space. They come up, push a deflated balloon into one of the bottles and stretch the open end of the balloon over the bottles mouth

Young scholars discover that air takes up space by watching the teacher demonstrate a simple activity using a glass jar, styrofoam packing peanut, and a clear bowl of water.

Students discover that air takes up space by watching the teacher demonstrate a simple activity using a glass, a piece of paper towel, and a sink full of water. They discuss their findings.

Students explore the concept of gamma ray bursts. They examine basic physics concepts about light, measure the shifts of spectral lines, and utilize Hubble's Law to deduce the velocity of an astronomical object.

Students describe how temperature and surface area exposure affect the rate at which fuel is consumed. They explain why engineers want to know about the properties of a fuel when designing rockets. They create a bar graph of result data.

Learners explore space science by conducting an experiment in class. In this Moon lesson, students define a list of space science vocabulary and read the book The Moon. Learners utilize shoeboxes and string to conduct a sunlight...

Students determine the equipotential lines surrounding a charged object. For this physics lesson, students draw lines to identify areas. They relate the spacing of the field lines to the strength of the charge.

Learners discover the power of the sun through an outdoor experiment.  For this solar power lesson, students view a PowerPoint presentation on atoms before they complete an atom worksheet.  Learners utilize a solar bag to...

For this do/go/play worksheet, students fill in a chart of sports activities specifying when they are played, where or kind of place they are played, the name of the place, and the purpose of the sports. Students fill in sixteen spaces.

Students recognize that some changes to matter are reversible and some are not.  For this matter lesson, students experiment a physical and chemical change. Students record experiment results in their science journals. Students act...

Learners engage in p.e. activities that have roots in native Indian, Metis, and Inuit cultures. They practice the skill involved and listen to the significance behind the skill. They read relevant books and define new terminology.

Learners practice constructing and expressing logical, concrete arguments to support their selected position. They comprehend how others construct positions radically different from your own, and still requires the development and...
