Students construct one of two versions of a pinhole viewer and then use the viewer to establish the diameter of the sun and the moon. Part of abcteach's Where We Find Science series.
A fact-filled reading comprehension, explaining and defining light. Our light units are available at four different levels, with increasingly advanced vocabulary and concepts.
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.
This "hands-on science" lesson helps students address the question of what plants do with all the water they absorb. This lesson includes a reading comprehension.
A science project of raising and observing pond organisms in an aquarium at home or in the classroom, with instructions and observation form. Part of the abcteach series, Where We Find Science.
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.
Fictional short story about a student science engineering project carried out at a zoo exhibit. Help students value planning and consider potential outcomes and consequences. Middle/High school level.
A set of seven experiments that demonstrate that the sciences of biology, chemistry and physics are part of our life at home. Set 1 of a series of experiments titled Science at Home, includes a description of experiments, scientific method report form and an explanation of probable results.
A set of two experiments about static electricity, which includes directions, an experiment report form and an explanation of probably results. Part of abcteach's Where We Find Science - Science at Home series.
A set of four physics experiments in our Where We Find Science series that demonstrate the properties of the surface tension of water. Includes a Scientific Method report form and an explanation and results page.
An explanation of Archimedes discovery of the formula to measure density of an object using water. Includes directions to conduct an experiment using the Archimedes' method, plus a report form. Part of abcteach's Where We Find Science; Science in Water Series.
Build a pond project, part of our "Where we Find Science" series. This project offers opportunities to observe biology in a pond. Instructions for building a pond, plus explanation of possible results and a form for observations of changes in pond are included.
A set of four experiments in our Where We Find Science series that demonstrate bouyancy and density of water. Includes a Scientific Method report form and an explanation and results page.
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.
Instructions for a science project of raising amphibians in an aquarium, with report form. Part of abcteach's Where We Find Science: Science in Water series.
Two simple experiments help students understand the movement of the sun and its relationship to the seasons and the time of day. Includes observation, note taking, sketching, building a simple sundial and a scientific method report form. Part of abcteach's Where We Find Science Series.
An advanced astronomy project in which student builds a device to measure the position of the sun in the sky and record its changes, to help understanding of seasons. Includes scientific method report form. Part of abcteach's Where We Find Science Series.
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.
An explanation of Hawking Radiation, plus an experiment creating an event horizon, a report form, a vocabulary exercise and glossary make up this lesson.
