Inventions Writing Paper (Blank)
In this inventions worksheet, students use the blank primary lines to write about an invention. There is a picture of a telephone and a light bulb.
Curated OER
Light the Bulb
Students explore electricity. In this power experiment instructional activity, students determine what is required for lighting a bulb. Students develop an understanding of open and closed circuits, and how energy is formed
Curated OER
Remote Sensing and the Electromagnetitc Spectrum
Fifth graders conclude that each color of the spectrum has a different amount of thermal energy by measuring temperature with a thermometer. They infer that there is an invisible band of the spectrum by measuring temperature beyond the...

Labs from Chicago, Summer 1993: Calibrating the Sun's Light
Students experiment with the luminosity of the Sun's light. For this luminosity lesson, students participate in an experiment with luminosity of the sun and flashlights. They make filters and fiber optic sources.
Curated OER
Compact Fluorescent Lamp Experiments
High schoolers conduct a series of experiment on incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. In this physics lesson, students explain how they operate. They compare the efficiency and power rating of both bulbs.
Curated OER
Applied Science - Physics (K) Post Lab
Students are introduced to electricity. In this electricity lesson, students listen to the book Switch on, Switch off by Melvin Berger and discuss the use of electricity in light switches. They create a picture of an atom using pom...
Curated OER
Exploring Electricity: Light Sculptures
Young scholars study electricity by making their own light sculptures. In this light sculptures lesson plan, students review electrical loops and circuitry components. Young scholars then plan, create, and refine light sculptures.
National Wildlife Federation
Wherefore Art Thou, Albedo?
In the sixth lesson in a series of 21, scholars use NASA data to graph and interpret albedo seasonally and over the course of multiple years. This allows learners to compare albedo trends to changes in sea ice with connections to the...
Curated OER
String Of Lights
Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students compare data using different types of graphs. They make predictions, draw conjectures as they analyze bulbs used in a holiday light set.
Curated OER
Electric Light Art
Learners write a poem about a single work of art by Flavin. In this descriptive response lesson, students express their feelings about the work and organize words into phrases. Learners arrange word phrases on paper to form...
Curated OER
Heat and Light Come From Various Sources
First graders study heat and light and how they come from various sources. They list sources of heat and light and identify the different energy sources as heat, light, or both heat and light.
