Curated OER
Mapping the National Parks
Students research national parks. In this science lesson, students view a video about the national parks and discuss the environments found within the national parks.
Curated OER
Hot Stuff
Students investigate if heat can change the form of matter. In this physics lesson, students use heat sources to observe the changes in an ice cube. Students graph which heat source changed the matter the fastest.
Curated OER
Fun With Fish Forms
Students explore fish adaptations and anatomy. In this science lesson, students discuss various adaptations of fish and how those adaptations help them.
Curated OER
Exploring Limu Diversity
Young scholars explore limu diversity. In this ocean ecosystem lesson, students classify limu according to its physical properties. Young scholars work in small groups to generate scientific observations and sort limu by characteristics.
