Make a class set of spectrum tubes by first purchasing some diffraction grating, and then constructing the tools with mailing tubes or shoe boxes. If you aren't up for assembling them, you could purchase prepared spectroscope kits. This...

Fifth graders explain why we fly. In this space science lesson, 5th graders discuss Bernoulli's prinicple and its relation to flight.

Students explore forms that water can take and examine the water cycle. In this hands-on science lesson, students participate in activities that require them to change water to a solid and back to a liquid again.

Young scholars explore forms that water can take. In this science activity, students participate in hands-on activities that require them to change water to a solid and back to a liquid again.

In this space science worksheet, students find the answers to the research questions that focus on the stars, planets, and constellations.

In this coastal geology worksheet, students use Google Earth to locate and identify different types of landforms and phenomena that occur along a coast. This worksheet has 2 short answer questions.

Pupils study the liquid and solid states of water. In this water states lesson, students complete three experiments to study water as it cycles from a liquid state to a solid state and back. Pupils finish with a Venn Diagram comparing...

For this screech owl worksheet, students complete activities to learn about screech owls after reading Screech Owl at Midnight by C. Drew Lamm. Students learn how to attract owls, investigate owls in their community, and define words...

In this science worksheet, students look at the symbols on the map and make interpretations about temperature or other conditions to master the weather knowledge in the four problems.

In this coastal geology instructional activity, students use Google Earth to locate the Oregon coastline. Students then complete 6 short answer questions based on coastal geology.

Learners examine the ways that government works to help improve aquatic habitats. In this water habitats lesson students view a video and plan a school restoration project. 

Seventh graders investigate the strength of the muscular system. They explore voluntary and involuntary muscle movement and discuss the types of muscles: cardiac or heart, skeletal, and smooth. They visit stations to answer questions...

Young scholars describe examples of the relationship between structure and function in living systems, particularly with regard to specialized tissues and organs. They describe examples of biological diversity and adaptation of organisms...

Learners investigate animal behavior, examining the nervous system and the physiology of the brain and the fight or flight response. They simulate animal behaviors and discuss the difference between an instinct and a behavior.

Students solve equations by taking the derivative. In this calculus instructional activity, students solve parametric equations implicitly. They use the TI-calculator to graph their equations.

Seventh graders study the law of superposition by creating models of fossils in layers of rock. They examine how fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock which leads to the study of geologic history in those rocks.

Eighth graders describe and identify the three layers of the Earth. They work together to construct their own earth model. They share their creation with the class.

Learners investigate the motion of Mars. In this space science lesson, students use transparencies to trace the path of Mars through constellations. Learners discuss the characteristics of the planet.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students plot their data on a coordinate plane and find the line of best fit. They calculate the linear regression using the data.

Students determine the velocity of a marble rolling down the incline. In this physics lesson, students identify the independent and dependent variables in the experiment. They construct and analyze a graph.

Learners critically analyze news coverage of Palestinian-Israeli violence by comparing information from a variety of news sources. They compose expository essays reflecting on how to obtain accurate, unbiased, and credible information.

Young scholars practice using objective and quantitative means to describe and compare the weather. They compile weather conditions and create a spreadsheet to record their findings.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Students interpret magnetic field maps, rotate the coordinates to obtain different views, change the coordinate representation, and produce alternate graphical representations.
