Curated OER
Springs
Springs are amazing. Here, learners are presented with springs found in various everyday objects. They discuss which springs they think will have the most force, then test their hypothesis. This presentation has the start of a good idea...
Curated OER
Friction
Students review what force. In this science lesson, students determine which surfaces are rough and which are smooth by observing how an object moves on each surface.

Oat Seed Lab: A Model Scientific Experiment
Students investigate seed germination. For this lesson on scientific prediction, students conduct a scientific experiment using oat seeds.
Curated OER
Physics on the Playground
Learners investigate friction on a playground slide. In this force and energy lesson plan, students will predict, plan, and implement a scientific investigation to the problem; What materials will allow me to slide the fastest down a slide?
Curated OER
Biodegradable Plastics
Pupils prepare a type of biodegradable plastic. They design method(s) to compare its properties with some common plastics that are readily available in the market. They later advance to identifying variables in an experiment and fair test.
