This activity is a field investigation where students collect leaf samples to be observed and compared monthly.

This activity is a field investigation where students collect leaf samples to be observed and compared monthly.

This is a short unit (including hands on activities) to expand our study of how light travels and how it behaves when it hits an object.

This activity is lab oriented where students will observe that light travels in a straight line and is reflected, redirected, absorbed, or passes through objects.

This experiment is a lab activity in which students will learn how different liquids react when put together.

This activity is a classroom investigation where students gather descriptive data on two different plants with a partner, and on other plants during a classroom discussion.They will then interpret their findings, and classify the plants, if applicable, into monocots or dicots.

This activity is a field investigation where students calculate stream discharge, develop and complete an investigation involving the stream, interpret their findings, and report to their peers.

This activity is a lab investigation where students design their own lunar phases model using household materials.

This 3-part lesson begins with a field activity beside a lake or stream where students collect and identify macro invertebrates. During the second and third portions of the lesson, students conduct research to answer questions that they have regarding the macro invertebrates that they have identified and then based on the types of macro invertebrates found make a general determination of the cleanliness of the lake.

This activity is a lab investigation where students work in groups to develop their own electromagnets.

This activity is a classroom lab in which students observe and investigate how magnets interact with each other and the objects around them.

This activity is a classroom lab in which students investigate and observe three types of balloons to help identify the states of matter and their properties.

This activity is a guided inquiry laboratory in which students perform reactions involving metals and hydrochloric acid in order to determine their activity series.

This field and classroom activity involves identification of similarities, differences, advantages, and disadvantages in survival, method of locomotion, food acquisition, and reproduction in three fresh-water microbes.

This activity is a guided inquiry where students develop questions around a group of rocks, use their observation skills to describe the attributes, record and analyze their findings, and use their data, in conjunction with available resources, to categorize the rocks .

This activity is a reinforcement activity where students will make a flipbook of the lunar phases.

This activity is a field investigation where students gather data on their motion and how it compares to another person.

This introduction to motion activity has students exploring speed and acceleration using a wheeled office chair and rope to pull a student a given distance and record the time. The results are graphed and different outcomes are predicted when variables are changed.

This inquiry based activity will help students discover that marbles move in a variety of ways and the path in which it starts to move can be changed.

In this lab activity, students observe and describe motion from different frames of reference and measure the time for the motion. They analyze their findings and develop a working definition of "frame of reference".
