Students explore climate changes. In this climate changes lesson, students research what causes changes. Students search the Internet, summarize reports they find and create a poster with the information.

Students collect data on the weather, graph and analyze it. In this algebra lesson, students interpret maps and are able to better plan their days based on the weather reading. They make predictions based on the type of clouds they see.

Learners compare the carbon dioxide content of four different samples. For this chemistry lesson, students research the causes of global warming. They explain how humans contribute to rising global temperature.

Students explain how Daniell cells work. In this electrochemistry lesson, students conduct a variety of experiments to explore the different types of cells. They create a model of Daniell cell.

Students explore solar energy, why we use it and how we use it.  In this renewable energy lesson students compare active and solar techniques.

High schoolers determine the contact angle of water on different surfaces. In this physics lesson, students calculate their percent error using a mathematical formula. They explain the advantages of using non-wetting surface for certain...

Tenth graders research locations of biomes and their barriers. In this biomes lesson, 10th graders examine location, environmental conditions, and species of plants and animals that live in the biome. Students take notes and create a...

High schoolers conduct a series of experiments to explore carbon dioxide properties. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the production and uses of this gas. They measure its amount in soda and waste product of yeast.

Students study the concepts of polymerization and the function of crosslinkage.  In this polymer lesson students complete a lab activity and write down their observations. 

In this evolution crossword worksheet, 7th graders complete a crossword puzzle about evolution. Students read the definitions to fill in the puzzle with evolution terms.

Students encounter the complexity of identifying the cause of unusual variations in WOW conductivity data. They propose theories on why there was a sudden increase in conductivity in Ice Lake, Minnesota during July of 1998.

Fourth graders explore the concept of economic goods and bads, and scarce items as it relates to the factors that affect our economy. In this supply and demand lesson, 4th graders are introduced to vocabulary that pertains to supply...

Students conduct observational studies of three ecosystems by visiting the Web World Wonders website. They gather data, compare/contrast the information, and decide on the establishment of a nuclear power plant at one site over the others.

Students examine the steps of the rock cycle. They describe what happens to the rocks in each of the stages. They participate in a rock cycle game to help them with the steps.

Students examine global warming, and the greenhouse effect. They determine the changes that happen and the adaptations that need to be made because of these occurrences. They look at the occurrence and effect of these phenomena in the past.

High schoolers research the biology and natural history of the cougar. Students conduct Internet research to determine how cougars have been protected by humans and how it is affected by human decisions. High schoolers write about...

Young scholars create a travel brochure, poster, and presentation to encourage others to visit a star. In this stellar characteristics lesson plan, students research a star type based on its life-cycle. They create a travel campaign to...

Students develop skills and a comfort level in interpreting economic concepts through graphic analysis.

Students participate in an economics game which demonstrates the advantages of price allocation over other methods.

Young scholars use their knowledge of DNA fingerprinting to evaluate the use fingerprints in courts, and will address the ethics of establishing a national database of fingerprints.

Students explore the concepts and engineering principles used in a canal lock system and apply those concepts to navigate a boat through a working model of a canal lock waterway.

Students study factors controlling Florida's population growth and related environmental impacts. They research natural community types and construct maps (including a large-sized map of Florida) to be used for a simulation activity.

Students explain the different stages in the growth of a frog, then analyze and collect data to make generalizations about a larger population. They determine the survival rate of a population of tadpoles under controlled conditions.

Students learn the impact that genetics can have on the evolution of a population of organisms and become aware of the influence that the environment has onorganisms.
