Linear Systems: LU Decomposition
In this LU decomposition activity, students multiply matrices, identify the elimination matrices, and the inverse of a matrix. This three-page activity contains approximately six problems.
Curated OER
A Symphony of Decomposers
Students discover decomposition. In this environmental lesson, students explore different types of decomposers and their role within the ecosystem. Students also discover how waste interferes with the decomposition process.
Curated OER
Worm Composting
Second graders discuss worm composting. In this decomposition instructional activity, 2nd graders look at the anatomy of the worm and how it eats food. They have their own worm bin and review what foods can and can not be given to the...
Curated OER
A Chemical Balancing Act
Students decompose glucose and write an equation for the reaction. In this decomposition reaction lesson plan, students burn a sample of glucose and test the products for water using cobalt chloride paper. They write a balanced equation...
Curated OER
Soil Treasure Hunt
Students explore the concept of soil and decomposition. In this soil and decomposition lesson, students investigate bags of soil. Students then learn how animals and other organisms help in the decomposition process.Â
Curated OER
Case of the Missing Pumpkin
Students explore the process of decomposition. In this science instructional activity, students carve a pumpkin and observe as it decomposes. Students compare the changes to an uncarved pumpkin. Students write about the disappearing...
Curated OER
Buried Treasure
Students examine the role of micro and macro organisms in the decomposition process. They record their observations and discuss. They also read a book about decomposition.
Curated OER
Identifying Reaction Types
In this reactions learning exercise, students are given nine chemical reactions to identify as single replacement, double replacement, synthesis or decomposition reactions.
Curated OER
Let's Build a Worm Bin
Students explore the process of decomposition. For this ecology and measurement lesson, students prepare a worm home to be used for vermicomposting. Students weigh a group of worms and the added food, recording this information on a data...
Curated OER
Layers of the Forest- Leaf Litter
Students conduct an experiment. For this temperate forest lesson, students discuss what kind of animal life can be found in the forest. They read The Magic School Bus Meets the Rot Squad: A Book About Decomposition and complete an...
Curated OER
Let's Make a Compost Cake
Students create a compost cake. In this gardening and decomposition science lesson plan, students review and describe the "nutrient cycle." Students create a compost pile, measure and record the dimensions and temperature of the pile,...
Curated OER
Writing and Balancing Equations
In this equations worksheet, students identify simple reactions as direct combination, decomposition, single replacement, or double replacement. This worksheet has 20 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Name the Type of Reaction
In this types of reactions worksheet, students name 10 reactions and indicate if they are synthesis, decomposition, single or double replacement of combustion reactions.
Curated OER
Balancing Chemical Reactions
For this balancing equations worksheet, students balance 10 reactions and indicate the type of reaction each is such as synthesis, decomposition, or single replacement.
Curated OER
Balancing Chemical Reactions II
In this balancing equations worksheet, students balance 10 equations and indicate the type of reaction as synthesis, decomposition or single replacement.
Curated OER
Predicting Products and Balancing
In this balancing chemical equations worksheet, learners solve 10 problems. They complete the reactions, name the type of reaction such as synthesis, decomposition, or single replacement and then balance the equation.
Curated OER
Types of Chemical Reactions Lab
In this chemical reactions worksheet, students experiment with several different reactions and identify each as a single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition or combustion reaction. Students observe the changes in...
Santa Monica College
The Composition of Potassium Chlorate
The third activity in a series of 11 begins by using thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate to determine the mass percent of oxygen. Then a second activity allows scholars to demonstrate that the resulting residue is from a...
