Curated OER
Interdependence: Discovering What Makes a Balanced Ecosystem
Students demonstrate that plants and animals are interdependent in a balanced ecosystem.
Curated OER
Weather Art in Space Settlements
Learners demonstrate a cloud formation and the relation between pressure and temperature in gases. They explain how clouds could be created in space settlements and see the relation between pressure and temperature in gases.
Curated OER
Your Address in the Galaxy
Students create a business card after researching their location in space and determining their Galactic Address.
Curated OER
The Discovery of the Solar System
Students study the ideas behind the heliocentric theory of Copernicus. They examine about retrograde motion of the planets as they move around the sun. They study astronomers who include Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Galileo.
Curated OER
Understanding Light: Lesson 2 - The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Students investigate the Electromagnetic Spectrum and realize there is energy beyond visible light. They identify parts of the EM Spectrum.
Curated OER
Kepler and his Laws
Students examine Kepler's Laws. They confirm Kepler's 3rd law by comparing orbital periods and mean distances for all major planets and study conic sections, qualitatively.
Curated OER
Make Your Own "Weather" Map
Students develop and apply a variety of strategies to solve problems, with an emphasis on multi-step and non-routine problems. They acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully.
Curated OER
Momentum
Students learn the concepts of momentum and its conservation, using the recoil of a cannon as an example. They examine how momentum is a vector, allowing its conservation to be applied to problems in 2 and 3 dimensions.
Curated OER
Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation
Students explore how Newton tied together the gravity observed on Earth and the motion of the Moon. They apply an earlier instructional activity about centripetal forces.
Curated OER
Kepler's 3rd Law
Students derive the velocity in a circular orbit of any radius. They derive the Earth escape velocity and prove Kepler's 3rd law for circular orbits # A simple formula for the orbital period in a circular Earth orbit of given radius.
Curated OER
The Way Things Fall
Learners explore concept of acceleration and motion under the influence of gravity, starting with free fall and ending with motions that start out with both horizontal and vertical initial velocities.
Curated OER
Newton and his Laws
Young scholars explore Newton's laws, including what they state, and what the intuitive meaning is of the first and third laws.
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
Solar Flip Book
Young scholars view and discuss various images of solar events. They research and create a flip book demonstrating the progression of two solar events, and write a poem describing their chosen solar event.
Curated OER
INTERPRETING MAGNETIC FIELD MAPS
Students interpret magnetic field maps, rotate the coordinates to obtain different views, change the coordinate representation, and produce alternate graphical representations.
Curated OER
MAP MAGNETIC FIELD OF A ROOM
Students map the magnetic field of a room (classroom or room at home -- recommend kitchen) at two or more heights. They create a coordinate grid within the room and make a relatively accurate map of the room to super impose the...
Curated OER
Visual Opacity
Students research and create a slide show in order to classify clouds as transparent, translucent, or opaque.
Curated OER
The Sky and the Dichotomous Key
Students use a dichotomous key to distinguish between different types of clouds
Curated OER
Introducing Temperature Measurement
Pupils read a thermometer, associate weather conditions and seasons with temperature changes and keep a record of daily temperature.
Curated OER
Fronts
Fourth graders define cold and warm fronts, explain how they are formed and they ways that they affect the weather.
Curated OER
Thunderstorms
Fourth graders investigate the attraction between two different charges to explain the concept of lightning in a thunderstorm.
Curated OER
Identifying Clouds
Eighth graders research and present to the class information about cloud categories. They observe clouds and describe the characteristics of their cloud observations. They take a cloud identification quiz.
Curated OER
Jet Engine Magazine Project
Students create a magazine highlighting their favorite type of of jet engine.
