In this word search worksheet, students locate 20 words related to science. The word list includes volume, mixture, and solute.

Young scholars examine how a community works together to protect them from fire. They work together to design a functional tool that could be helpful in fighting fires. They share their tool with the class.

Young scholars identify different wave types and their characteristics.  In this wave lesson plan students complete activities by activating tuning forks and interpreting data. 

Students are involved in hands-on activities to determine how course conditions affect bobsled, luge, and downhill ski races.

Students explore how to classify new species.

Students observe a scientific discrepant event, and are then challenged to create experiments to solve the dilemma.

Students study solar energy.  In this renewable energy lesson plan students complete several lab activities using different controls and variables. 

Young scholars create a design for a school garden. In this garden design lesson plan, students analyze what plants grow best in their school's climate and work in teams to design a garden. Young scholars measure the existing space,...

Pupils participate in a role-playing activity that demonstrates how whales use sound as an adaptation to their environment.

Students plot earthquake and volcano data using a Compass Rose Plotting. They explain the relationship between plate movement and connection. They draw conclusions that earthquakes and volcanoes occur in predictable locations.

Students discover how light reflects off surfaces. In this hands-on demonstration, students examine how variations in color are produced by light interference.

Students create acid rain using carbonic, nitrous, nitric, and sulfurous acids.

In this reactions worksheet, students use Hess's Law to calculate the heat gained or lost by different reactions. Students determine if the reaction would occur spontaneously at a given temperature. This worksheet has 9 problems to solve.

Tenth graders observe enzyme activity. They discuss the relationship between drug use and enzyme activity.

Students write a balanced chemical reaction. They articulate how burning fossil fuels increase the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Students incorporate all the environmental risks involved as well.

Students list four ways to identify trees. In this tree identification instructional activity, students use tree identification techniques such as leafs, bark, wood grain, soil type, and climate to create tables and graphs.

Pupils demonstrate sound waves and make changes in the waves resulting in changes in pitch. Students associate changes in pitch in various "musical instruments"with size and shape and the sound waves they produce.

Eighth graders practice balancing chemical equations. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders explain why it is necessary to balance equations. They complete practice worksheets individually.
