Magnets 2: How Strong is Your Magnet?
Pupils work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...
Curated OER
Work in Linear Mechanical Systems
Students are able to identify the units associated with linear work. They are able to calculate the work done on an object. Students discover how the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves determines the work done...
Curated OER
Liquids Have Differnt Viscosities
Students explore visosity of matter. They run tests of various liquid substances to observe and compare rates of flow of different substances. In addition, they relate viscosity to distance travelled by sample substances.
Curated OER
Healthy Computer Ergonomics
Students identify, demonstrate properly, and apply correct position and posture while working at the computer. They also demonstrate optimal posture and position at the computer workstation, including: sitting up with the arms held out...
Curated OER
Introduction to Locus
Students define the five rules of loci. In this geometry lesson, students identify the locus of points that creates a circle. They calculate the distance from a fixed line and point.
Curated OER
Map Studies
Students study maps and use web based activities to develop their mapping skills. In this mapping skills lesson, students use the internet to define cartography they make a list of information regarding a typical road map and explain the...
Curated OER
Getting it Right!
Students investigate error. As shown in earlier activities from navigation lessons 1 through 3, without an understanding of how errors can affect position, one cannot navigate well. Students explore how computers can help in navigation....
Curated OER
How Do You Move Along the Earth?
Middle schoolers determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics lesson, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.
Curated OER
Newton's Second Law
Students examine how physical quantities and laws depend distance, mass and time. They examine the MKS system; meter, kilogram and second, for doing calculations.
Curated OER
How Far?
Students explore how different textures provide varying amounts of friction to objects moving across them. They build a tool to measure the amount of friction between a note card and various surfaces by measuring the distance that a...
Curated OER
Presenting the Geologic Timescale
Students model the geologic timescale using distance as a metaphor for time. They write a summary of a major event or fossil organism. and station themselves and their summaries along a path within a gymnasium, and present their...
Curated OER
Navigating a Spacecraft
Students work with a partner to plot the trajectory of a spacecraft traveling between Earth and Mars in the 2018 and returning in 2020. They examine the key factors when planning a mission to and from Mars such as travel time, distances...
Curated OER
Is it Olympic Time?
Students investigate the Winter Olympics by studying the geography of the 2010 Vancouver games. In this competitive sports lesson, students identify the planning and preparation needed to produce an event like the Winter Olympics....
