Young scholars observe that movement of a solute in the solvent increases the rate of dissolution. They demonstrate that when the solute is broken into smaller pieces it dissolves faster.

Students experiment to determine the effect of light on cyanobacteria movement. They graph the data of the experiment for further analysis. They watch a time-lapse video of cyanobacteria motility at a NASA website.

Learners study the steps involved in the scientific method. They apply the scientific method to their science fair projects.

Ninth graders are presented with a problem that has to be solved. The scenario is a mystery that is purely hypothetical. This does draw on the knowledge of previous lessons. The lesson plan contains background knowledge explaining the...

Pupils investigate the formulas for volumes of various solids using the Ti-89 calculator. The lesson focuses on the keying sequences necessary to embed the required volume formula in a program which is then used in the problem solving...

Students solve problems using distribution. In this algebra lesson, students factor equations using the distributive property. They graph their solution on a graph.

Young scholars examine the health effects of hazardous waste on people. They work together to complete an experiment in which worms are exposed to chemicals. They discuss the results of the test.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students solve a problem attributed to Sir Isaac Newton in which they determine the number of cows that will eat all the grass on six acres of land in six weeks.  The one page worksheet...

Students create paper airplanes.

Students engage in a lesson that gives them the tools needed to become knowledgeable credit consumers. The companion website for the ITV program TV-411 is used to provide learners with an interactive experience of what credit has to offer.

Students analyze information from a variety of sources in order to create a hypothesis about the origin of an interesting family artifact.They create alternative hypotheses based upon available information to demonstrate that some...

Students investigate, through a hands-on activity, in which type of soil a bean seed grows best. They create a bar graph representing each plant's growth in different soils.

Students evaluate their current food choices. In this health science lesson, students test different drinks to rate the amount of Vitamin C content. They discuss results in class.

In this language arts worksheet, students study 20 words in a word bank, then locate them in a word search puzzle. The words appear to be related to chemistry but the meaning of the title is not known.

Students investigate seed germination. In this lesson on scientific prediction, students conduct a scientific experiment using oat seeds.

Eighth graders work in pairs to discover how to prioritize expenses in a budget.

Students compare the ability of a sample of carbon dioxide gas to absorb thermal energy compared to a sample of air. They build a visual representation of the greenhouse effect to illustrate the heat-absorption of atmospheric carbon...

Students determine the best material from which to make a jacket to keep the body warm in a cold, dry, windy climate. This task assesses the student's abilities to perform an entire investigation.

Students use FoilSim (downloadable) to determine how lift is affected by varying parameters on the Airfoil simulation.

Students use 3-D modeling techniques to observe the characteristic signature of the stall condition apparent on an airfoil at high angles of attack. They use FoilSim to compare the above with ideal airflow.

Students gather data about bird populations. They study bird migratory patterns using the methods that researchers use. They write an essay explaining the differences between the four types of population movements.

Students discuss ways our environment becomes polluted. They make a list of ways to keep it clean.

High schoolers investigate the problem of osmosis by conducting an experiment. They use eggs with the shells dissolved to tell whether fluid can move across the membranes. The experiment provides high interest for all kinds of students...

In this science worksheet, students take part in a laboratory exploration looking at different types of soil. The soil is evaluated in order to fill the role of becoming a sports field.
