Nuclear Power Gets A Boost
Students examine nuclear plants and how they use fission reactions to generate electricity, compare fusion reactions to fission, and read about technology that may soon allow fusion to become practical for producing nuclear power...
Curated OER
Teeth And Eating
Students are introduced to several concepts about milk teeth and permanent teeth. They view photos of baby teeth, complete a worksheet that depicts their current tooth development and identify ways in which to care for permanent teeth.
Curated OER
What "Ohm's" You?
Students use the CBL and voltage probe to observe electricity. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator with the CBL to explore Ohm's Law. They discuss exponential equations and how it relates to Ohm's Law.
Curated OER
Making an Electromagnet
Students explore electromagnetic forces. In this electromagnetic lesson, students construct a working electromagnet and conduct a series of experiments to see what increases the strength of an electromagnet.
Curated OER
Instruments and Measurement
Students circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.
Curated OER
Fun With Electromagnets
Fifth graders construct their own electromagnet out of copper and nails. They discover what objects could be used for magnets. Finally, 5th graders discuss how electric currents are formed.
Curated OER
Induction: Inquiry in Action
Students investigate the factors that affect the induced current in a loop of wire. They discuss Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law. Students identify the different variables that affect the magnetic flux and calculate the magnetic flux...
Curated OER
Scouting for Circuits
Fifth graders investigate electricity and how it used in a circuit to be useful energy. They also use this investigation in order to understand how energy can change forms and still be considered useful if put into the right form.
Curated OER
Water Consumption, Pricing and Conservation in Utah.
Students investigate the research report that measures the levels of water usage for Utah. They focus on conservation efforts that are currently being used. They reflect upon their own amount of water usage and research methods of...
