Curated OER
Work and Power: Waterwheel
Students investigate a waterwheel and the physical properties of energy. In this waterwheel lesson students create a model waterwheel and calculate the amount of power produced.
Curated OER
Electrical Generators
Students study what an electric generator does and its history. For this energy lesson students complete several experiments including building their own electric generator.
Curated OER
Applied Science - Physics Post-Lab
Students investigate energy. In this Physics lesson, students explore different sources of energy: heat, nuclear, and chemical. Students sing an electricity song.
Curated OER
Make a Refrigerator
Third graders explore the concept of heat transfer as experienced in wearing winter clothing and analyzing the refrigerator.
Curated OER
Electrical Battery
Students investigate the different types of batteries and how they work. In this energy lesson students experiment with batteries and see which ones last the longest.
Curated OER
Watts Up with the Heat
Learners create a variety of simple, series and parallel electrical circuits to illustrate how electricity flows through different types of basic circuits.
