Physics Rewind
Eighth graders differentiate speed and velocity. In this physics lesson, 8th graders explain Newton's laws of motion. They calculate speed using a mathematical formula.
Curated OER
Simple Harmonic Motion
Learners explain the theory of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by performing hands-on, practical application experiments.
Curated OER
Arc of Ball To Make Basket
Pupils examine the mathematical relationship in scoring a basket. They observe the arc of the ball as it travels to the basket from different points on the floor.

For Sale! Part 1
Middle schoolers create a new document in a graphic organizer. They add main ideas to their document and reorder the items. They share their organizer with the class.
Curated OER
For Sale! Part 2
Students use storyboarding software to create a storyboard for a movie about selling their school building. They use the storyboarding software as a tool to organize the different shots or scenes that will appear in their movie.
Curated OER
Meet My Mammal
Young scholars create a multimedia presentation about a mammal of their choice. They develop a new presentation document and all slides within the presentation. They share the information about their animal with the class.
Curated OER
Aircraft Trajectory Problem Set
Students read text from a NASA Web-based textbook then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it to complete an activity on aircraft trajectories.
Curated OER
IS MASS THE SAME AS WEIGHT?
Students see the difference between weight and mass when they examine the method of measuring each of them.
Curated OER
WHAT HOLDS US TO EARTH?
Students they imagine they are Galileo and try to duplicate Galileo's experiments and results.
