Columns have been used throughout the world because they are good load-bearing structures. Learners with visual impairments conduct an experiment to work through the design process as well as to understand this engineering phenomenon....

Fifth graders observe real bones and models to learn about the structure and function of the skeletal system. In this skeletal system lesson, 5th graders manipulate objects and models of bones. They handle real bones and determine the...

Eleventh graders study osteoporosis and understand the relationship between calcium and bone mass.  In this investigative instructional activity students participate in an activity in which they graph and construct basic bone biology.

Learners compare the two main groups of minerals. In this nutritional activity, students learn which foods contain the best source of minerals needed to maintain good health. They study the minerals that are required to be on the...

Students identify the risks associated with osteoporosis. In this adult health lesson, students compare their current calcium intake versus what they need daily. They recommend ways to prevent this disease.

Students discuss bone health. In this health lesson plan, students talk about foods and activities that can foster strong bones. Students explore ways to defeat obstacles to bone health.

Sixth graders simulate the creation of impact craters on Mars.Through the creation of model surfaces, the effects of an impacting object's mass, velocity and size are determined, and the features of the resulting crater are identified.
