Students calculate feeding rates of whales and compare this to the feeding rates of humans.

Students estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Students compare the...

Learners experiment with common household products to determine the properties of emulsions and how they fit into the classifications of matter through this series of lessons.

Students discover the differences between weather and climate in this long-term lesson introduction. They create rain gauges and practice reading rainfall measurements, view a website showing the cloud cover in their location and draw...

In this science learning exercise, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills.

Students conduct an experiment to determine how different soils affect plant growth over a six-week period. After determining the physical properties of different types of soil, students plant various types of seeds into the soil...

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Second graders, in groups, measure the volume of four containers that vary in shape and size.

Students examine the impact of the physical and chemical properties of milk and its use as an important food.

Students conduct Internet research to track the path of Hurricane Rita. They record the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during and after the hurricane and draw conclusions about how hurricanes extract heat energy from the...

Pupils test the conductivity of selected liquids and solids. They test the circuit by touching the two free ends of the wires together and add salt little by little recording the data after each addition. Finally, students predict if...

Students use authentic satellite data on the NASA website to determine when the sea surface temperature meets the criteria to induce coral bleaching.

Young scholars use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.

Students create a mobile that compares the way of life in modern cities in Africa to rural villages in Africa.

Third graders, in groups, research animals, plants, and conditions found in ecosystems.

Students use a microscope and observation skills to compare and contrast several physical properties and develop a classification system.

Learners work in teams of 2 to complete the presentation portion of the assignment. They may be required to work alone or may work with their partner to complete the "Board Member's Responses."

Students evaluate the hazards of naturally occurring events. After watching a video concerning safety hazards, students work in groups to discuss the safety issues involved in taking a trip to a mountainous region. Recommendations are...

In this reactions worksheet, students describe combustion as either exothermal or endothermal. Students balance reactions and label the types of reactions. This worksheet has 1 multiple choice, 2 short answer, and 10 problem solving...

Learners explore physics. In this science lesson, students discuss physics in their everyday lives. Learners complete a physics worksheet.

Students explore the microstructure of the ocean by analyzing graphs created by Dr. Mike Gregg of the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory during the EPIC 2001 research cruise on the Ronald H. Brown NOAA vessel.

Fifth graders analyze data using a graphical presentation.

Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

Young scholars examine different types of landscapes through a geographer's eye. Using a city block or a suburb, they organize their thoughts and take notes to survey a site. They discuss what they have seen and write about how looking...
