Students examine the mineral pyrite and discover the differences between it and gold.  In this mineral lesson students identify minerals using their common properties.

Students investigate quality products. In this Physical Science lesson plan, students will test three different types of caulking. The students are looking for the caulk with the best adhesion after two days of curing.

Students explore the different types of magnets and their common uses.  In this magnets lesson students create their own magnets. 

Students study the history of electricity and the different ways we generate electricity.  In this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on generating power.

Students examine the nutrient makeup in fertilizers.  In this plant nutrient lesson students see the effects of common fertilizers on plants.

Students examine the characteristics of lactose and lactase.  In this enzyme activity students study the lactose in milk and its rate of dissolution.

Students identify the different types of meteorite using an interactive website. In this earth science lesson, students simulate how meteors crash on a surface. They relate meteor size to crater size.

Students separate food coloring using liquid chromatography. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the effects of different solvents on the rate of separation.

Young scholars study the history of the light bulb and how an incandescent light bulb works.  In this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on the light bulb.

Students explore the differences between a parallel and a series circuit.In this current lesson students complete several experiments using a light bulb.

Students identify the different ways things are pollinated and how to manage pollen.  In this pollination lesson students complete an experiment on how moths pollinate flowers.

Students explore the different types of lifters through a series of activities. In this physics lesson, students explain the mechanics involved in the lifter designs. They compare aluminum versus zinc lifters.

Young scholars examine the Magnus effect and its history.  In this forces lesson plan students investigate the lift of a rotating cylinder.      

Students examine the different kinds of propellers and their functions.  In this airplane instructional activity students build a hand made propeller.

Students explain the process of polymerization. In this chemistry lesson, students produce carboxylesterase in the lab. They test its effectiveness in removing the by-product odor.

Students study lightening and the history behind how it was used for electricity.  For this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on the invention of the lightning rod.

Students examine population growth and how it impacts our environment.  In this population lesson students identify the causes and consequences of overpopulation.

Students explore the formation of volcanoes. For this earth science lesson, students build their own volcanoes in the lab using different materials. They identify the different types of volcanoes.

Students describe the characteristics of algae. In this biology instructional activity, students perform a series of experiment to explore algae. They investigate the basic things algae need to survive.

Students explore mold, the different types and the health risks that they pose.  In this mycelium lesson students grow different molds and see which type of foods mold the fastest. 

Students explore what amino acids are, their history and how they are used in technology.  In this protein lesson students identify the properties of proteins and amino acids.

Students study the basics of a model rocket and its classifications.  In this rocket lesson students determine the flight duration of a model rocket.

Students examine the aerodynamics of a wing and how it generates lift.  In this flight lesson students complete several experiments including how to build a paper plane and how airfoils affect performance.

Students create a polymer ball in the lab. For this chemistry lesson, students identify the different properties of the polymer they created. They explain what type of chemical reaction took place.
