Physical science scholars discover an array of heat sources. They experiment to connect radiation to heat. They begin to understand thermal equilibrium. Then, they test to see if mass affects the rate of temperature change. Choose a few,...

Young scholars explore the concepts of center of mass and static equilibrium by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance. They also analyze why all forces on an object must cancel out exactly for an object to be stationary.

Students explore the gene frequency in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium experiments. They inquire into the studies of both black and gray squirrels. Basically the population genetics of certain squirrel populations. The species of each are...

Even well-versed economists will appreciate the clarity and cohesiveness of this presentation. Covering monetary policy and open-market operations with bullet points and graphs, these slides would be a good addition to both a basic and...

Students develop an understanding of what a reaction is and factors that affect it. They are introduced to: reaction mechanisms, reaction rates, reaction order, factors affecting reaction rates, Le Chatelier's Principle and Equilibrium.

The 2006 version of the Regents High School Exam is just as thorough as the rest of them! Assess chemistry learners on the entire year's curriculum when they take this 13-page test.

Twelfth graders explore how markets exist whenever buyers and sellers exchange goods and services and that market prices are determined through the buying and selling decisions made by buyers and sellers. They also study how the market...

In this equilibria worksheet, young scholars answer 6 multi-step questions which pertain to molar solubility and equilibrium expressions.

Students explore the theory of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by performing hands-on, practical application experiments. In this harmonic motion lesson, students use strings of various lengths and bobs of different weights to create a...

Students research the concepts of center of mass and how to make different things balance. They make symmetrical cut-outs of different "creatures" and experiment with how they balance on a tightrope of string.

Students describe the import and export of agricultural products and gain a comprehension of the concept of supply and demand. They discuss exports and imports. Students have small world maps on each desk, they identify the countries...

Students investigate the properties of air by capturing it, squeezing it, and feeling its weight. In this forces lesson, students capture bags of air and examine its properties. The weight and pressure of air is emphasized.

Students listen to a lecture on the collision theory. They discuss the reactant and product changes during a chemical reaction. Students are taught the factors affecting reaction rates. They complete a lab on entropy, heat and free...

Stability is key when building a bridge. Scholars explore the forces acting upon bridges through an analysis of Newton's Laws and Hooke's Law. The activity asks individuals to apply their learning by building a bridge of their own.

Did you know that there are comic books that can help learners discover economic concepts like supply and demand. The format of this lesson plan is highly engaging and enables them to discover how economics can be an exciting field of...

Seventh graders study biological systems and how they reach equilibrium.  In this system balance lesson students divide into groups and complete an osmosis lab activity.

Students explore the Everglades ecosystem using the Internet. To develop a picture about conservation of resources in the context of the Everglades. Explore relationships between species and habitats. Develop an idea of how human beings...

High schoolers determine if the economic model of slavery in the United States could or could not survive without expansion of slavery to the western territories. They access an excellent multi-media narrative imbedded in this plan.

How do the changing seasons affect the homes where we live? This question is at the forefront of engineering and design projects. Challenge your physical science class to step into the role of an architect to build a model home...

Stars exist from a few million years to over 10 billion years, depending on their mass. Scholars perform a play acting as stars to learn about their different life cycles. They develop an understanding of many of the fundamental concepts...

Learners create an evolutionary tree based on fossil morphology and their ages. In this fossil record lesson plan, students are given 23 pictures of fossil. They study their morphology and arrange the fossils by age and structures on a...

Students study concepts of energy and energy transfer. They look at how these concepts apply to musical instruments. They study the law of conservation of energy. They use the concepts studied in the lesson to design a musical instrument.

Students explore the basics of ecology through numerous hands-on and relevant activities. They participate in an online food chain demonstration, which explores food web dynamics. They dissect owl pellets, examine the prey's bones, and...

Students identify and separate the different zones of the beach by observation. They investigate beach zonation by gathering and comparing sand samples gathered from different areas of the beach.
