In this life characteristics worksheet, students answer 16 questions about living things, Redi's experiment, basic needs, growth and development.

In this resistance worksheet, high schoolers solve 10 problems about the changes in resistance as the temperature changes in resistors.

Learners set up and conduct a scientific experiment to demonstrate data collection. In this scientific process lesson, students complete an activity with the specific objective of using a slingshot to fire a t-shirt into the crowd at a...

  Students build boats out of clay to test the buoyancy of the boat in water.  Students break into pairs and construct their boat to specific guide lines, then experiment with their boat in the water.   

Young scholars research the mechanics of liquid chromatography. For this technology lesson, students calculate the concentration of unknown samples. They write a report about their research and lab results.

Students design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. In this physics lesson plan, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results and...

Students investigate the factors affecting projectile trajectory. In this physics activity, students calculate the range, time and speed of projectiles using mathematical equations.

Students explore how to use the scientific method to solve problems.  In this scientific lesson plan students define terms, apply the method to problems and search the internet and find sites that cover the scientific method.

Students 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.

High schoolers investigate how natural selection influences evolution. They complete a hands-on lab simulation of natural selection, and replicate a real experiment and examine the interplay between selection factors in a population of...

Ninth graders examine how a scientific investigation is performed. They read and discuss examples of various scientific experiments, design an experiment involving fast growing plants, and create graphs and charts to present their...

Students will work in groups to design and conduct an experiment to identify amino acids found in an unknown solution. This lesson is taught in three sections: (1) Introduction to chromatography (2) Experimental design session (3)...

Students roll a ball down a plank and measure the distance it travels. Students graph the distances the ball travels as they change the height of the incline (increase slope).

High schoolers fill out an anonymous questionaire to explore whether they might have asthma. They then set up a spreadsheet to enter the data, decide on a definition of asthma, and figure out the prevalence of asthma. Pupils simulate...

Students find the constant of proportionality and apply it to a situation. They use the electrical resistance in a wire as a context for finding the constant of proportionality. In addition, they write an explanation and justification of...

Students analyze a variety of curves that describe the power extracted from the wind by a variety of commercially produced wind turbines. They utilize site specific topographic maps and political boundary data to evaluate and make...
