An elementary unit-study booklet (with combined student and teacher booklet versions) on static electricity, static discharge/shock, lightning, and Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment; the title indicates current-electricity content is also covered.
An editable, blank scientific investigation template booklet that can be adapted to any science experiment, guiding students through the steps of the scientific method.
Teach animal science/zoology concepts (animal habitats, comparative anatomy, insect and fish biology, bird and mammal traits, animal reproduction) through hands-on experiments and observation labs.
A large collection (101 numbered activities) of hands-on science activities exploring everyday phenomena (breathing, weather, gravity, the human body, recycling) for early-to-upper-elementary students.
An edible/hands-on science activity guide presenting 10 kitchen-based experiments that teach science concepts (e.g., density, acid-base reactions) through food-safe materials.
Teach human body/health science concepts (body systems, growth, heredity, circulation, respiration, digestion, nutrition, skin, bones, muscles, senses, brain, and substance-safety topics like alcohol and tobacco) through hands-on activities.
Provide hands-on science experiments and activities across physical, earth, and life science topics for grades 5-6, supplementing the (U.S.) National Science Education Standards.
Teach plant science/botany concepts (characteristics of living things, seeds, flowers/pollen, leaves, plant cells, trees, plant classification, and plant survival) through hands-on experiments.
Teach electricity and magnetism concepts (magnetic force, compasses, electromagnets, static electricity, electroscopes, electrical circuits, generating electricity) through hands-on experiments.
Teach air-science concepts (air pressure, gas properties, breathing/respiration in humans/animals/plants, Bernoulli's principle, carbon dioxide, barometers, siphons) through hands-on hypothesis-driven experiments framed around Newton's scientific method.
A 90-minute Grade 6 biology lesson plan teaching the process of photosynthesis through explanation, a simple experiment, and a worksheet.
A hands-on physical-science workbook of lab activities exploring sound and light concepts (e.g. mirrors, sound waves, rainbow lab) for classroom demonstration or individual student use.
An elementary unit-study booklet teaching how circuits work (components, batteries, short circuits, functional circuits) with a hands-on short-circuit experiment, in matching student and teacher booklet versions.
A set of 23 hands-on science labs that teach the scientific method (observation, hypothesis, communication, decision-making) through varied classroom activities and mini-experiments.
One-page graphic organizer worksheet for students to record the steps of the scientific method for an investigation.
Teach the concept of life cycles (specifically caterpillar-to-butterfly metamorphosis) as one chapter/topic within a broader life-science workbook.
A generic, reusable graphic-organizer template guiding students through the steps of writing up any science experiment (question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, data, conclusion).
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in solids, liquids and gases (matter, atoms, molecules, physical properties, states of matter and their changes) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
Teach physical science concepts (matter, properties of matter, elasticity, motion, and Newton's First Law) through hands-on experiments, framed around Newton's laws.
Provide 28 independent hands-on STEM/science experiment activities with supply lists and instructions for classroom, camp, or independent/group use.
Guide students through a hands-on STEM circuit-building experiment: lighting an LED using copper tape and a button battery.
A full science workbook (Book C of the 'Simple and Fun Science' series, ages 7-8) teaching science process skills (observing, inferring, measuring, predicting, problem-solving) through hands-on activities.
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in planet Earth (composition, crust/plates, minerals, rocks, weathering/erosion, mountain building, soil and soil conservation, earthquakes/volcanoes) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
A multi-topic activity packet teaching force and motion concepts (force, motion, friction, and related math) for elementary science.
