In this electric current worksheet, students review vocabulary words associated with electricity. Students understand how electricity is used in their lives every day. This worksheet has 12 fill in the blank questions.

Students study food chains and how the organisms are linked.  For this investigative worksheet students answer food chain questions, and fill out several worksheets.

Sixth graders conduct a simple experiment to explore the ways that color can affect heat transfer. They review the three ways that heat can transfer: conduction, convection and radiation.

Students define terms and describe where they are found and formed.  In this methane lesson students complete an activity and describe ways in which methane hydrates impact our lives. 

Students know about monocotyledons and dicotyledons. They explore the differences between the seed structure of the two by examining bean and corn seeds. They sprout seed to observe the differences in both of their growths.

Fourth graders identify where foods came from and sequence a food chain.  In this food chain lesson, 4th graders define vocabulary related to food chains and order a food chain. Students follow the energy of a food chain. Students...

Learners learn about the kinds of fossils and what scientists can learn from them.  In this earth science instructional activity, students are told how engineers and paleontologists work together.  Then learners create a...

Students discuss the solar system, the planets, periods of orbit and revolution.  For this space lesson students discuss the importance of the study of Mars and brainstorm ideas on how NASA might solve its Rover design problem. 

In this teacher website, teachers have access to various worksheets and lesson plans at no cost. Teachers can select from all subject areas for lesson plans, activities, and available resources.

Students examine the physical characteristics of several types of air masses to discover how air masses can be identified and defined by their temperature and moisture content.

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of sound waves and frequency. As a class, they listen to the differences between different types of instruments. To end the lesson plan, they practice identifying low and high pitches and...

Students build and test a type of communication system called a parabolic-dish receiver. This type of system is exactly like radio telescopes, which are discussed in our song. They explain how signals are transmitted and captured with...

Pupils perform an experiment in which they put different types of salts in a balloon, fill it with hydrogen gas, and ignite it. The electrons in the salt molecules are excited by the heat and release energy in the form of light. ...

Students participate in a discussion about the different types of timepieces and the energy sources necessary to run them. They observe the numbers on a clock and review the hands and what they mean and make individual clocks using a...

Students describe the types and parts of a circuit. They discover three types of electrical switches and create a chart showing the many uses for each type of switch.

Students view various types of food that are listed as bad for all people. Students chart out all findings within this lesson. Students talk in an open forum of ways they could change their eating habits in the future.

Students investigate sunspots. They use solar imaging from satellite instruments which are currently circling the sun. Students compare images from the satellites and determine the existence of a correlation between the two types of...

Second graders examine how their choices affect the environment. They identify different types of pollution and its source. They ask questions to end the lesson.

Students explore the uses of insulation and describe how insulation helps to conserve energy. They work in groups and use plastic, wool, paper and aluminum to experiment with the heat-retaining properties of various materials.

Students engage in a lesson which includes flame tests and the construction of a simple diffraction spectrograph with which to measure sodium ion emissions. They use the Bragg equation to compute the wavelength of the line spectra produced.

Students create a garden.  For this ozone lesson, students discuss ozone injury, identify plants sensitive to ozone, and then plant their own ozone garden.

Students create piston systems and explore the conversion of linear to rotary motion that propels a car. In this motion lesson, students build and test a model piston/crankshift system and discover why there is a maximum limit to how...

Students identify the amount of heat given off by solar energy. In this solar energy lesson, students complete an experiment using soil and sand measuring the heat from solar energy.
