In need of a set of math vocabulary cards? A kindergarten resource is guaranteed to help young mathematicians develop their math vocabulary. With 17 cards, the top half of each card has the vocabulary word printed in bold text,...

In this mathematical diagrams worksheet, students solve about 20 short answer diagram problems.  Students diagram driving routes, coin weights, and classifying sporting events.

Students explore convection and how it happens in the earth's atmosphere.

Students plant seeds and watch them sprout. Once growing plants are placed in different conditions and students record data about their growth. They graph the data.

Students explore the concept of momentum. In this physics lesson, students observe and compare two "carts" being released to move in various situations, and draw conclusions as to why the carts moved or didn't move.

Students calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar.  In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...

Students participate in a demonstration showing that as salinity increases density increases as well. They also examine the different densities of air. They discuss the amount of water displaced by large ships.

In this weight worksheet, young scholars, with a partner, problem solve the answers to six word problems involving weight and everyday items found around the house and the classroom.

Fourth graders study flight and compare various flights.  In this measurement lesson students complete a lab activity and record measurements. 

Young scholars determine how mass is a property of an object that can be measured, and examine how size affects mass. They work with balances and determine what units of measurement are associated with mass. Finally, they determine the...

Students investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density lesson plan, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Students analyze which items float and do not...

In this Language Arts instructional activity, learners read a poem called "Let's Pretend." The poem includes descriptions of different animals, such as a bird and a horse.

In this algebra activity, students use a balance scale to weigh coins and identify which coin is fake. It is important to have the scale balanced like you would an equation. There is an answer key.

Sixth graders weigh regular and diet soda to see which one is heavier and therefore which one contains more sugar. In this soda lesson plan, 6th graders discover that regular soda contains more sugar because it weighs more. 

Students conduct experiments in gravity by rolling objects down an incline and determining which ones roll slower than others. As part of the experiment, they design objects which will roll the slowest. Using digital movie cameras or...

In this math worksheet, students use the theory of quantum mechanics to determine the relative position of objects and how motion could affect them.

In this science investigation worksheet, students follow the directions to mix raisins in clear carbonated soda to watch them sink and rise.

Learners create their own balance to determine a difference in the weight (and composition) of cents made in different years.

Students work together to discover the relationship between the angle of catapults and the flight of different objects. They discover the heavier the object the more force is needed. They examine how engineers use this information to...

Students practice the 4 question strategy to form more questions and develop further experiments. The four questions are engage, explore, explain, and elaborate. They use the 4 question strategy on an investigation involving the mass...

Young scholars participate in a teacher demonstration of the water level in different beakers to investigate the measurement of volume. Next, working in small groups, they replicate the demonstration and determine how the measurements in...

Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...

Students conduct an investigation with cereal that simulates the extraction of minerals from rock. They mix iron fortified cereal until the iron is extracted and shows on a magnetic stick that is painted white.

Second graders conduct investigations to explore matter. In this states of matter lesson, 2nd graders complete four activities to analyze the three states of matter. Students analyze the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Students...
