Thermodynamics Homework Problem Set
In this chemistry worksheet, students determine the equilibrium pressure of NO at each temperature listed. Then they explain why lowering the combustion temperature would have any effect on the NO emission. Students also use the values...
Curated OER
The Big Crush
Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

Let's Make a Cloud
Students watch the teacher make a cloud. In this water cycle lesson, students discuss the water cycle and see the formation of a cloud. The teacher leads the discussion including the role of water vapor, smoke and air pressure.
Curated OER
Weather Art in Space Settlements
Learners demonstrate a cloud formation and the relation between pressure and temperature in gases. They explain how clouds could be created in space settlements and see the relation between pressure and temperature in gases.
Curated OER
Choices That Adolescents Make
Students examine the different types of information available to adolescents. They analyze the decision making process of adolescents and examine the basis for egocentric thought. They analyze to what degree peer pressure affects...
Curated OER
Earth Science - Weather
Students build an understanding of the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere and its local and global processes influencing climate and air quality. They analyze air masses and the life cycle of weather systems.
