| Science Project: Report Forms |
Ten pages to help organize a science project. |
| Science Project: Journal Prompts |
Lined pages for recording facts, ideas, sources, materials, notes, experimental process notes (hypothesis, etc.). A great prompt tool. |
| Experiment: Catapult (upper elem/middle) |
Step-by-step building of a catapult from craft sticks; this unit presents the elements of a science project (research, hypothesis, etc.) that can be used for this catapult experiment and applied for other science projects in the future. |
| Science Project: Catapults (upper elem/middle school) |
Explains how catapults work and how they were used in medieval times. Lots of hands on work for comparing three classes of lever. |
| Science Project: Castle Walls (primary/elem) |
Shows how an alternating pattern of blocks is stronger than straight lines. This is a good introduction to concepts of strength and construction. |
| Comprehensions: The Only Energy You'll Ever See (elementary) |
Two fact-filled and easy-to-understand reading comprehensions, explaining and defining light. Our light units are available at four different levels, with increasingly advanced vocabulary and concepts. |
| Comprehensions: Making Light (upper elem) |
Reading comprehensions on the sun, incandescent light, light bulbs, electroluminescence, fluorescence, phosphorescence, bioluminescence, LEDs and LCDs... every type of light. A thoroughly informative unit! |
| Comprehensions: Light Waves (upper elementary) |
Reading comprehensions on light waves and on how they differ from sound waves, with an experiment to help aid understanding. |
| Comprehensions: Light Spectrum (upper elementary) |
Two reading comprehensions on the light spectrum. |
| Comprehensions: Light Behavior (upper elementary) |
Comprehensions on light and atoms, rainbows, scattered light, and shadows. Each comprehension is reviewed with great (and easy) science experiments to bring the concepts to life. |
| Comprehensions: Light and Shadow (upper elementary) |
What makes objects appear to have color? Two reading comprehensions combine with simple science experiments to explain color, light and shadow. |
| Comprehensions: Light and Eyes (upper elementary) |
Light and your eyes: cones, colors, and rods. Two reading comprehensions explain how we perceive color and how night vision works. |
| Comprehensions: Invisible Light (upper elementary) |
Reading comprehensions on UV and Infrared light are reviewed with science experiments. |
| Comprehension: The Only Energy You'll Ever See (upper elementary) |
A fact-filled reading comprehension, explaining and defining light. Our light units are available at four different levels, with increasingly advanced vocabulary and concepts. |
| Comprehension: The Only Energy You'll Ever See (primary) |
Two fact-filled and easy-to-understand reading comprehensions, explaining and defining light. Our light units are available at four different levels, with increasingly advanced vocabulary and concepts. |
| Comprehension: The Only Energy You'll Ever See (middle school) |
A fact-filled reading comprehension, explaining and defining light. Our light units are available at four different levels, with increasingly advanced vocabulary and concepts. |
| Comprehension: Light Origins (upper elementary) |
A reading comprehension explaining protons, electrons, and photons. |
| Experiment: Plants - Turgor Pressure (elem/upper elem) |
In this hands-on science experiment, students understand turgor pressure and osmosis. |
| Experiment: Plants - Changing Color (elem/upper elem) |
In this hands-on science project, students will learn how leaves change color in the fall. |
| Experiment: Plants - Food Producers (elem/upper elem) |
In this hands-on science project, students understand how plants produce their own food. |
| Experiment: Paper Towel |
|
| Experiment: Float or Sink |
Predict whether an object will float or sink. Students make and test hypotheses with this simple experiment. Includes detailed instructions and pages for recording predictions and results. |
| Scientific Observation (upper elem) |
Explains the hows and whys of scientific observation and provides forms for practicing observation, suitable for almost any science experiment. |
| Science: My Pet Rock (elementary) |
Students adopt a "pet rock" and use these forms for a simple and comprehensible science project, developing skills in collecting and recording data. |
| Lab: Gravity (upper elem) |
You know what you weigh on Earth (even if it doesn't make you happy!!)--but what would you weigh on Mars? on Pluto? Students combine science and math in this fun gravity lab. |
| Graphic Organizers: Science Experiments |
four general forms to be used for science experiments- multi-age. |
| Experiments: Soundwaves (elem/upper elem) |
Collect glass bottles, and then try these great classroom experiments with soundwaves. |
| Experiments: Crystals (upper elem/middle) |
A fact-filled reading comprehension on the formation and types of crystals is followed by SEVEN great crystal experiments for home or the classroom, using everyday materials. |
| Experiment: Volcano |
Create your own mini-volcano in order to better understand this phenomenon. |
| Experiment: Turmeric Base (upper elementary) |
An experiment that demonstrates chemical testing by adding a turmeric test liquid to 12 substances. Color changes illustrate whether the substances are base or not. Includes instructions for the experiment and a lab worksheet for students. |
| Experiment: The Amazing Egg Experiment |
A simple in-class experiment, done over the course of a week, using eggs as a hands-on example of how acids and bases interact, as well as the dynamics of permeable and semi-permeable membranes. |
