Curated OER
Fallout!
High schoolers plot the locations of fallout from two disasters that polluted much of the world's air. They plot the ash fallout from the 1980 Mt. St. Helen's eruption to see what the wind patterns in the United States look like overall....
Curated OER
Air Pollution Over Where?
Students predict the movement of an air borne pollutant using their understanding of air currents. They determine which governments and/or communities should be contacted to be forewarned. They also explore the properties of their...
Curated OER
A Message in a Bottle
Students investigate the motion of water currents by mapping the possible movement of messages cast into the ocean in bottles.They accurately plot the appearance of bottles on a world map and illustrate the flow of an ocean current...
Curated OER
Forces And Energy
Young scholars investigate the atom and how it is formed. They conduct research using a variety of resources and then construct a model of the atom. Then students have class discussion. The instructional activity includes background...
Curated OER
Shop projects Summer Smile Program
Young scholars explore the list of products available to make and choose at least 2. In this project activity students pick and choose their own projects to create in a shop class.
Curated OER
Trench Definitions
In this vocabulary worksheet, students match words related to trenches with their correct definitions, then "copy into their glossaries." Link to additional activities included.
Curated OER
Types of Forces
Students study scientific names and descriptions of forces. In this motion lesson plan students organize information into a graphic organizer then teach it to other students.
Curated OER
Little Engine That Could
Students dramatize traditional literature. In this retelling lesson, students practice retelling The Little Engine That Could and take on roles of the trains in the story. Students create and display train props to use during...
Curated OER
Twelfth Night: Thrusting Greatness Upon the Television (Series of 4)
Students incorporate language from Twelfth Night into their own skits. In this Hamlet lesson, students use a handout to assist them as they dub over the skits created earlier with specific language from Twelfth Night.
Curated OER
Lab for Truss Design and Testing
Students design and build their own truss. In this physics lesson, students calculate the forces and maximum load. They complete a full scale diagram of their design.
Curated OER
Losing An Island
Students examine carbon dioxide and determine the impact of greenhouse gases on the earths spheres. In this pollution lesson students complete a lab activity to see the impact of gases on the environment,
Curated OER
Map Field of Current
Learners determine that moving charges create a magnetic field. They discover that the speed and direction of motion, the amount of charge, and the deflection angle observed are closely linked. A voltmeter, pendulum, and a constructed...

Science Buddies: Rubbing Up Against Static Electricity
A tried and true balloon activity is to rub a balloon on your head to make your hair stand up. Learn how the rubbing builds up static electricity using this experiment to see if the number of rubs makes a difference.
University of Colorado
University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Balloons and Static Electricity
An interactive simulation with balloons and a sweater that teaches about static electricity, electric charges, and electric force. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and...
