Stoichiometry sounds complicated, but it really means the study of the amount of substances involved in a reaction. The sixth lesson in an 11-part series has scholars use stoichiometry to find the theoretical yield of a reaction. Then,...

Sometimes the simplest experiments leave the biggest impression! Introduce young chemists to the Cartesian Diver by having them make one of their own. Use the Diver to further their study of liquids and gases, as well as compression.

There are some great diagrams and labels on these slides that support the topic of plants. The definition of kingdoms, and summaries of the vascular systems and gamete production are given. This would be a perfect choice to kick off a...

A collection of three worksheets create a "Wheeling and Dealing NPS Wheel" when properly cut out and fastened together, This activity would be perfect when used with any study of how our water sources get polluted.

Ah, the numerous number of numbers. Individuals research different ways of encoding numbers. After conducting their initial research, they find classmates who have researched a different article and the pair share information. The...

Students analyze information to determine how they can help a community that has been affected by water contamination.  In this environmental science lesson plan, students watch portions of the movie "A Civil Action" and discuss...

Students compare and contrast renewable and conventional energy sources. In this energy instructional activity, students research about conventional fuel and present a persuasive argument about their stand on the issue.

Students examine trees and discuss how the environment effected the tree. They also predict what the area look like in fifty years.

In this online interactive history worksheet, students respond to 10 short answer and essay questions about the accomplishments of Max Plank. Students may check some of their answers on the interactive worksheet.

Students analyze a designated galaxy with a partner or in a small group.

Students interpret how scientists have explored Saturn. In this NASA based astronomy lesson, students create a timeline depicting the study of Saturn from 1610 until 2010. Each student will write a letter to Galileo discussing how the...

In this online interactive philosophy worksheet, students respond to 10 short answer and essay questions about Galileo's contributions to science. 

For this optics worksheet, students read about how light can reflect or refract and how lenses and mirrors work. Then students complete 13 matching, 27 fill in the blank, and 8 word problems.

In this equilibrium worksheet, students perform a computer simulation on vapor pressure of water at different temperatures to answer 11 problem solving and short answer questions about the topic.

Young scientists learn about DNA replication through a video and model creation. They answer analysis questions before exploring the role of mutations and then complete a summative assessment.

Have you ever tried to find hidden items in a picture when you don't know what you are looking for or how many things are hidden? A lesson applies that same concept to sampling the deep sea habitats. Participants must first create a...

After reviewing the causes and effects of climate change, students become observers for "Plant Watch," a program to monitor the effects of climate change on plants. Students record blooming and leafing dates for selected local species...

Combine science, math, and more using this resource. Learners use technology to share video and other information about their community with people throughout the state. They learn about the environment, identifying native plants, record...
