Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. In this gravity instructional activity, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2...

Students explore space science by participating in a class WebQuest. In this constellation identification lesson, students view star charts based on the four seasons and identify the changes our sky goes through in the course of 12...

Students construct flow diagrams of the carbon and nitrogen cycle processes. They identify sequences in each cycle that are affected by human impact and present their research to the class.

Students explain how zoo-plankton have an impact on the global process.  In this ocean zoo-plankton lesson students calculate carbon flux and plankton densities. 

High schoolers study photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.  In this chemosynthetic lesson students explain the processes of these and define terms. 

Students explore the various components of the digestive system and learn about both the physical and chemical processes that work together to break down food into absorbable molecules.

Students explain the processes of plate tectonics and volcanism that resulted in the formation of the Hawaiian Islands. They describe, compare, and contrast S waves and P waves. They explain how

High schoolers compare and contrast the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. This lesson uses the KWL+ strategy to promote reading. The + used here is the Venn diagram.

Young scholars brainstorm about evolution and explore the processes of evolution.  In this investigative lesson students map out evolution and compare the two theories after researching them. 

High schoolers explore the basic building blocks of our planet.  In this minerals instructional activity students begin the process of forensics on the basis of investigation and drawing conclusions from observations. 

Students examine soil erosion and what causes it.  In this soil lesson students complete several experiments on soil erosion and the weathering process. 

Students perform several tests on liquids. In this general science activity, students compare the properties of polymeric and nonpolymeric liquids. They explain the composition and importance of macromolecules.

Students examine the process for testing GM foods. They research benefits and hazards of a selection of GM foods. They also create images of new labels and marketing for GM foods.

Students experiment with peapods to show the diversity of individual within a population. They examine dominant traits, recessive traits, genotypes, and phenotypes and show the process of making a Punnett Square.

Students research all about the process of egg development and hatching. They access about temperature, recording data, and charting. In addition to the outcomes for science mastery, students gain experience in cooperative group work,...

Fourth graders conduct experiments heating water. In this inquiry-based early chemistry activity, 4th graders use the materials given to experiment with the process of heating water. Students draw conclusions based upon their findings...

Fourth graders investigate the impacts of erosion. In this Science lesson, 4th graders determine connections between plants and soil erosion. Students examine the historical implications of erosion.

Fourth graders investigate erosion. In this Science lesson, 4th graders explore the role of weathering and plant growth related to erosion. Students define the components of soil. Students explore the history of the Dust Bowl.

Students observe the rusting process in the lab. In this chemistry lesson, students rank metals according to their conductivity. They give real world applications of this activity.

Students identify and analyze pollination and how bees play an important part in the life cycle of flowering plants. They also identify the process of plant pollination and how bees play an important part in the life cycle of flowering...

In this cells worksheet, students define 14 words associated with cells. They answer 12 short answer questions about the structure and function of the cellular system.

In this gene control in eukaryotes worksheet, students complete a table with information about the process of translation and transcription. Students also explain the process of post-transcription and the modifications involved.

In this protein synthesis worksheet, students answer 14 short answer questions about the process of making proteins from DNA.

Students investigate the process of erosion and factors that influence the rate of soil loss.  In this erosion activity students formulate a hypothesis and analyze the results of their experiment.
