Parabolas in Flight
Learners utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball. In this physics lesson, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by breaking the video...
Curated OER
Gauss' Law
Learners derive the equation of Gauss's law. For this physics lesson, students investigate the factors affecting the strength of the electric field. They perform simulation on Gauss's law.
Curated OER
The Genetics of Antibody Diversity
Students distinguish between the light and heavy chain sections. In this biology lesson, students simulate the DNA splicing process. They calculate antibody diversity using the information given.
Curated OER
"Heat Transfer and Ice Cream!"
Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...
