Let's Find Out About Money
First graders identify coins (pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters), and their attributes, including physical characteristics and value.
Curated OER
Get to know H2O!
Students investigate scientific concepts and inquire about physical states of matter. The transition of water is considered and is easy to facilitate because of its abundance and often observed physical changes.
Curated OER
Designing a Solar Concentrator
Students design and build a solar concentrator. In this physics instructional activity, students evaluate their design and convince everyone why theirs is the best. They create a presentation and share it with the class.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem
Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the sides and angles of a right triangle. They find the different trigonometric ratios and solve using sine, cosine and tangent.
