Imagine Life Without Friction
Learners learn about the concept of friction. In this friction lesson plan, students learn how friction from one object to another moves that object and creates energy.
Curated OER
The Warmth of the Sun
Students broaden their understanding of the sun, particularly its critical role in warming the land, air and water around us.
Curated OER
Insulators
Sixth graders examine properties of four types of spoons, record observations, and apply their knowledge by designing the perfect hot chocolate cup.
Curated OER
Cool Times with Heat
Students work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...
Curated OER
The Chemistry of Ice Cream
For this chemistry of ice cream worksheet, students investigate colligative properties and how they affect freezing points while making ice cream. Students answer short answer questions to determine if freezing is an endothermic or...
Curated OER
Canned Heat
Students demonstrate that light and dark colored objects absorb the sun's radiation at different rates. They experiment with the temperature change of water in two locations and discuss the results.
Curated OER
The Energy Debate - Sea Level Rise
Young scholars comprehend the impact of global warming on our coastal cities. They appreciate how geographic information systems can be used to represent scientific data. Students research the melting of the ice caps in Antarctica and...
