Learners study the basics of parachuting.  In this flight and aerodynamics lesson students make a simple parachute and investigate different variables that can cause potential problems.

High schoolers experiment, observe, measure, and analyze what occurs during an exothermic reaction. They safely design an experiment, control variables, and properly dispose of materials.

Students explore how to show evidence of subshells and electron filling on the visual scale. They examine subshell filling and evaluate unknowns based on the atomic emission spectrum. Students design an experiment to identify colors of...

Young scholars name the factors (concentration, temperature, and a catalyst) which can affect the rate of a chemical reaction. They use their knowledge of particle theory to explain their observations. Pupils comprehend that the...

Young scholars view animations of several atmospheric variables (e.g., temperature, rainfall) during a cold front passage and locate the dryline, determine its direction of movement, and list at least two weather conditions associated...

Students study the scientific method and explore how to design an experiment.  In this investigative lesson students explore and hypothesis an experiment then carry it out to find the results. 

Students analyze NASA data from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer. For this NASA data lesson, students access an assigned website to examine information from the MISR on the Terra Satellite. They determine how desert dust travels...

Students compare and contrast images of the sun taken at different times and viewed at different scales. They record their observations in a journal and create a graphic organizer to help analyze their observations.

Students make "pets" of isopods (potato bugs) to determine their preferred environment and food sources. They record their results on a bar graph and in a scientific report.

Twelfth graders practice their graphing skills in an exercise about acceleration due to gravity. Lesson opens with a demonstration of acceleration due to gravity and a brief discussion. Students complete a worksheet and go over answers...

Students use a 24-hour graph of air temperature, relative humidity, and dew point to describe at least one reason why the variables change (or don't change) during the day. They use given scenarios to identify and describe the problems...

In this phase diagram learning exercise, students use a phase diagram to determine the critical point, phase boundaries, and phase transitions. This learning exercise has 20 problems to solve.

In this weight worksheet, students review the equation for solving for the force of weight and review the kinds of friction. Students complete 10 matching, 7 fill in the blank, and 8 problems to solve.

Students improve their science skills by designing an experiment for the relationship between electricity and magnetism. In this science skills activity, students discuss the scientific method and use the given materials to complete an...

Students explore how to sort and manage information.  For this organization lesson students complete an activity on sorting.

Students explore chemical solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate the relationship between three related experiments about solutions. Students determine variables that affect the chemical concentration of each solution.

Students study sound and how it is created.  In this sound waves lesson students complete a lab activity that shows students the variables that affect sound. 

Learners construct a car based on directions given. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...

In this space science worksheet, students find the words associated with the basic terms of Astronomy. The answers are located at the bottom of the page.

Students practice using the scientific method. In this scientific processes lesson, students read and discuss the main parts of the scientific method. Students plan how they would conduct an experiment using the scientific method.

High schoolers explain how sunlight is converted to electricity. In this series of physics lesson, students study how varying the characteristics of the light source affect photovoltaic cells. They research their different uses in other...

Students research automobile operating systems in relation to racing. They design and construct vehicles from recycled material which they race to study the concept of propulsion.

Second graders define condensation and evaporation. They identify and describe the steps in the water cycle. They ask questions to end the lesson.
