Galapagos Rift Expedition Come On Down!
Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. For this oceanography lesson, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.
Curated OER
Motion Through the Ages
Eighth graders conduct internet research to produce a timeline of man's growth in understanding of concepts of motion and planetary motion through history.
Curated OER
Tower O'Power
High schoolers work together to design a tower from a computer program. They manufacture the pieces with a laser cutter and compete in a competition to determine the best design for stress relief on towers. They discover the work...
Curated OER
UV Radiation and the Developmental Stages of Red Flour Beetles
Students perform an experiment to compare the sensitivity of the various developmental stages of Red Flour Beetles to ultraviolet radiation. Larvae, pupae and adult beetles are exposed to a source of UV-B radiation. In groups, they...
