Fourth graders identify electricity as a form of energy that is associated with common household products. They utilize technology as an aid in which they can graphically organize their thoughts.

Fourth graders investigate items that are magnetic and those that are not. They determine the properties of the magnetic items. They create a digital book that demonstrates what they have learned about magnetism.

Fourth graders investigate conductors and insulators and distinguish between the two. They utilize the digital camera and other forms of technology to create a study guide on conductors to help students develop sound knowledge.

Fourth graders become familiar with magnets and their properties. They investigate what items are magnetic and non-magnetic and make generalizations about the properties. They utilize technology to develop an interactive digital book.

Fourth graders explore different forms of energy and discover ways that natural resources are important. They research how your town would be affected by building your type of power plant.

Students derive the equation of Gauss's law. In this physics lesson, students investigate the factors affecting the strength of the electric field. They perform simulation on Gauss's law.

Students compare and contrast the different types of alternative fuels. They create a concept map to understand their classification. They examine the properties of matter and energy as well.

Students study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They l research why in 1965 the U.S. Mint decided to change the metal composition of the quarter to copper coated with zinc. In addition, they...

Students investigate why a balloon flies in one direction as air escapes in the opposite direction, which helps them understand the nature of rockets and fireworks. Individually and in teams, students conduct research to create a...

Pupils study sea ice and its importance in climate and climate change. They discuss sea ice as a presence of a food source for marine animals in the arctic and complete a lab activity. After completing the lab, they watch a video...

Students investigate and explore common objects to discover and identify their parts. They also are encouraged to discuss the need for specific parts and what happens when a part is missing from the whole.

Students explore the adaptations of deep sea life forms.  In this science lesson, students watch a video to observe characteristics which allow for the sea creature to thrive in it's environment. Students determine the physical,...

Students photograph plants and contribute their pictures to a class powerpoin on plant variety.

Learners describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and analyze...

Students select at least 6 cities from around the world to keep track of their high and low temperatures over a period of time.

Students estimate how many children in their class it would take to equal the mass of one adult bear. They then weigh and record their measurement on a chart to check their estimate.

Learners visit the following web site to find out the birth weights and lengths of polar bear cubs- Ask Jeeves for Kids. They then enter the information found at this site relating to the birth length and weight of polar bear cubs into a...

Sixth graders research a variety of ocean animals, organizing the facts in the form of a database. They input the results of the research into the appropriate field of their database for their Oceanography Science Unit.

Young scholars observe how to distinguish observations form inferences.  In this examining inferences lesson students list observations relating to the activity and discuss the importance of them. 

Students download or create maps with numerical weather data. They add isolines and color to create regions on their maps. They explore the visual properties of color palettes and create a visualization applying their knowledge.

Young scholars learn the characteristics of arachnids by researching the arachnid of their choice and producing a 4 to 5 paragraph research paper.

Students determine the power dissipated in the combination of two resistors connected in series to a 6 volt battery. This task assesses students' abilities to develop procedures for an investigation, develop a plan for recording and...

Students measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.

High schoolers circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.
