-
In this hands-on science project, students will learn how leaves change color in the fall.
-
In this hands-on science experiment, students understand turgor pressure and osmosis.
-
In this "hands on science" experiment, students compare growth between beans planted in soil and beans planted without soil in order to understand the importance of soil nutrients to plant growth.
-
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 detailed set of instructions for a series of experiments on plant growth under a variety of circumstances.
-
Building Faraday's homopolar motor.
-
A cooking thermometer, batteries, and a hot dog are part of this popular science experiment.
-
A Tesla coil with the words "brain power". Three desk tags.

Picture of a robot plugging in.
-
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.
-
Lined pages for recording facts, ideas, sources, materials, notes, experimental process notes (hypothesis, etc.). A great prompt tool.
-
Ten pages to help organize a science project.
-
Shows how an alternating pattern of blocks is stronger than straight lines. This is a good introduction to concepts of strength and construction.
-
Explains how catapults work and how they were used in medieval times. Lots of hands on work for comparing three classes of lever.
-
Make your own miniature wave in a bottle.
-
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.
-
Light and your eyes: cones, colors, and rods. Two reading comprehensions explain how we perceive color and how night vision works.
-
What makes objects appear to have color? Two reading comprehensions combine with simple science experiments to explain color, light and shadow.
-
Reading comprehensions on UV and Infrared light are reviewed with science experiments.
-
Reading comprehensions on the sun, incandescent light, light bulbs, electroluminescence, fluorescence, phosphorescence, bioluminescence, LEDs and LCDs... every type of light. A thoroughly informative unit!
-
A reading comprehension explaining protons, electrons, and photons.
-
Two reading comprehensions on the light spectrum.
-
