Students apply the scientific method to the act of taking apart appliances. In this scientific process lesson, students disassemble appliances to learn how their components work together.

Middle schoolers read an article and participate in a class discussion.  In this technology and engineering lesson students conduct an online search for images and terms.

Students investigate how something at home uses physics to work. In this practical physics lesson, students develop a theory of their own to conclude how an object might work. This lesson plan includes a worksheet.

Students determine the equipotential lines surrounding a charged object. In this physics lesson, students draw lines to identify areas. They relate the spacing of the field lines to the strength of the charge.

Students pick a topic that is related to energy and power companies, tools, and careers. They organize information, photos, illustrations, video, or other graphics into a presentation.

Students investigate how magnets attract and repel.

Third graders explore the world of inventions by describing their impact on their own lives.  In this technology lesson, 3rd graders practice writing descriptive paragraphs about different inventions that they find...

Fifth graders investigate and compare the behavior of magnetism using magnets. In this physics lesson, 5th graders write about the similarities and differences of a variety of magnet types.

Learners read the book Icky, Sticky Gloop by Morgan Matthes. In this scientific exploration lesson, students compare the fictional character in the book with Benjamin Franklin (both are inventors). They discover why and how inventions...

Students listen to a story about colors and then conduct various experiments to determine how people see colors, identify which colors stand out best from a distance, show the results of mixed colored lighting and explain the phenomenon...

Students create their own cameras to understand how artists use light to capture an image in a photograph. In this light lesson plan, students use tape, wax paper, rubber bands, and more to create their cameras.

In this science worksheet, students test objects to see if they are magnetic. They record the results in a table by naming the object, telling what it is made of, predicting if it will be magnetic, and recording if it is magnetic.

Students study communication. In this telegraph lesson plan, students examine Morse code and the composition of an elementary telegraph circuit. They listen to a presentation and try to create Morse Code messages on a worksheet. This...

Are you looking for a reading resource about the efficiency of power systems? Here is one that introduces the output/input ratio, measurement of energy by joules or calories, and efficiency ratings. For STEM classes that are learning...

Extensive background material, clear objectives, and more are provided to help you teach an introduction to nuclear power. Learners will be able to explain how nuclear power is generated and how it compares to coal-created power. Provide...

In this chemistry worksheet, students identify how much aluminum and hydrochloric acid is needed to produced a certain amount of hydrogen gas. Then they identify how many grams of oxygen are used.
