Photosynthesis Explored
Students observe the production of gas as an effect of photosynthesis. In this biology lesson plan, students perform an experiment with pondweed and make measurements and predictions about photosynthesis and the plant.
Curated OER
Seed Sorting
Students examine and sort seeds. In this life science lesson, students make general observations of a tub of seeds, then develop sorting criteria for sorting the deeds. Lesson includes extension activities.
Curated OER
Diffusion of Molecules
Students conduct a series of experiments to observe factors that impact molecular movement. In this molecular chemistry instructional activity, students drop food coloring in water with different properties (hot, with ice, with alcohol)...
Curated OER
Mold Investigations
Students observe mold growth on bread. For this mold growth lesson, students place bread in various locations and in various conditions to investigate how location, moisture, temperature, and other variable impact the growth of mold on...
Curated OER
Adhesives: How Sticky is Your Tape?
Students test the adhesive strength of different tapes. In this adhesive lesson plan, students conduct an experiment to test the shear strength of the adhesives, take measurements, record data, and draw conclusions to explain each...
Curated OER
Adhesives: Measuring Stickiness
Students test the stickiness of natural substances. In this adhesion as a property of matter lesson plan, students build a tool to test the adhesion of natural "glues" such as honey, peanut butter, flour and water paste, and jelly. ...
Curated OER
Diaper Challenge
Middle schoolers compare the absorbency of a regular diaper and a swim diaper in fresh water and salt water. In this absorbency lesson plan, students mass the diapers and place them in water and determine the change in mass. They do the...
Curated OER
It's a Matter of Space
Students explore matter. In this physical science lesson, students role play the 3 states of matter forming "liquid" molecules and "solid" molecules with teammates. Students perform an experiment in which the result illustrates that two...
Curated OER
Charles Darwin
Students produce a newspaper describing the times during which Charles Darwin introduced the theory of natural selection. In this evolution activity, students make observations and explore the role of observation in Charles Darwin's...
Curated OER
Experiment to Mimic the Digestive System
Students demonstrate how digestion occurs. For this biology lesson, students compare the mass of sandwiches before and after addition of HCl. They collect data and formulate conclusion based on experimental results.
Curated OER
Vocabulary - Introduction to Chemistry
In this chemistry vocabulary worksheet, students use their textbooks and dictionaries to find the definitions to 20 terms associated with chemistry.
Curated OER
Activity Three -- Rutherford's Discovery (Student Page ) A Lab Experiment in Physics
This discovery student page offers students an opportunity to work as a team to discover the shape of an object they cannot see. It is an experiment which parallels particle physicists dilemma in not being able to see very small...
Curated OER
By Golly, By Gum
Young scholars investigate the ingredients and creation of chewing gum. In this scientific method lesson, students make predictions about what will happen to the mass of a piece of gum as it is chewed by a human. Young scholars graph...
Curated OER
Name that animal
A great way to classify organisms, is by counting the number of legs it has or how it moves. Little ones count the legs on five different creatures, then match the leg count to the proper animal name. Tip: Have them come up with other...
Curated OER
Natural Dyeing with Plants - Scientific Method
Students study the components of scientific investigation by planning and carrying out an experiment in natural dyeing, seeing if different kinds of metal dye pots affect the color one gets from the same plant material.
Curated OER
Destructive Decay
Students determine the destructive nature of plaque acid in their mouths. They use the scientific method for proving a hypothesis.
Curated OER
Coal Ash Analysis
Students use ash contnet, one of the important environmental concerns, that can be determined by massing the residue remaining after buring a sample of coal under controlled conditions. They complete a lab making ash content. Students...
