Archaeological soils: Students will determine components of a soil sample and evaluate how archaeologists use soils to interpret sites.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics and Science)

Discovering elements online: Students will work independently and in small groups to research assigned elements on the internet with sites given in advance. They will then contribute to a class database with their individual information. The database will then be made available for students to again work independently and in pairs to answer questions created from a class discussion to discover relationships about the elements.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Computer Technology Skills and Science); By Trish Loudermilt.

The human atom: Students will act out the role of atoms by dressing up as the atoms of designated elements. They will wear costumes with balloons representing valence electrons. The “atoms” will gain or lose valence electrons in order to achieve chemical stability. The students must then identify the charges of the ions formed.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Development and Science); By Kamie Wine.
