Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in magnetism and electricity (magnetic force/poles, compasses, electromagnets, circuits, conductors/insulators, static and current electricity) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
Hands-on STEM activity teaching how a simple magnetic compass works.
Cell Lab Activity: An Engaging Teaching Resource for Science Educators Enhance your science curriculum with the interactive Cell Lab Activity focused on differentiating between animal and plant cells.
Conservation of Energy Culminating PBL: An Enriching Resource for Physics Students Conservation of Energy Culminating PBL is an immersive resource that drives high school physics students to explore the crucial concept of Conservation of…
Guide students through a rotating, hands-on lab-station circuit of activities covering electrical safety, atomic/electron basics, hands-on circuit building, research, and knowledge checks on current electricity and circuit diagrams.
Let students dive deep into the concepts of density and buoyancy with this interactive 5E lesson bundle. Hands-on lab stations allow exploration of sinking, floating and Archimedes’ principle through building models and designing “boats”.
A 9-station hands-on lab rotation teaching density and buoyancy concepts (mass, volume, density calculation, buoyant force, and why objects float or sink) for grades 7-10 science classrooms.
Digestive System Unit | Anatomy and Physiology is a comprehensive educational resource designed for education facilitators, such as public school teachers and homeschoolers. An in-depth exploration of the human digestive system.
Hands-on STEM activity simulating how storms form in clouds using shaving cream and colored water.
Hands-on STEM activity: students build and use a simple sundial to track time via shadow position.
A middle-school Earth science lesson unit teaching how mechanical and chemical weathering shape Earth's surface, combining readings, vocabulary, and a hands-on lab.
A comprehensive hands-on science unit (Teaching & Learning Company/Lorenz, 2008, by Patricia O'Brien) teaching plate tectonics, earthquake causes and measurement, and tsunamis through readings, diagrams, and hands-on activities/experiments.
The student lab combines earthworm anatomy observations with questions about digestive and circulatory structures, ending in a comparison with the human digestive system. Teacher guidelines and an answer key support preparation and review. The supplied procedure specifies a live specimen and dissection, so review its suitability and your school’s practical requirements before scheduling; the sheep heart dissection lab provides a separate organ-study extension.
Multi-station hands-on lab activity teaching solar and lunar eclipses.
Multi-station hands-on lab activity teaching solar and lunar eclipses.
A guided-inquiry lab in which students design and run an experiment testing how a human-caused factor affects a small ecosystem, then write a formal lab report.
Provide a multi-resource bundle teaching the scientific method (the eight steps: questioning, controlling variables, hypothesis, planning, performing, observing, analyzing, discussing) through slide-based lessons and hands-on lab/project activities.
Food science eBook teaching how altitude affects the boiling point of water, using hands-on experiments comparing solutes (salt vs. sugar) and research/math tasks.
A multi-day high school physics introduction to forces, covering the four fundamental forces (gravitational, strong nuclear, electromagnetic, weak nuclear), everyday contact forces (normal force, friction, tension), and an accompanying acceleration-due-to-gravity inquiry lab.
This is a 58-page download full of forensic science activities for your young scientists. This activity book is geared toward ages 10 years and up. There are 40+ activities that come with step-by-step directions.
Teach the physics of friction (types, causes, applications, coefficient of friction) through a rotating multi-station lab activity.
Provide a collection of hands-on science experiments/demonstrations (chemical reactions, physical science, sensory play) for elementary students to try with adult-supplied household materials.
Introduce elementary students to basic chemistry concepts through 20 hands-on chemical-reaction experiments with explanations of the underlying science.
A hands-on science activity teaching students how magnets interact with objects and with each other, through sorting, task cards, and recording observations.
