TE Activity: Don't Crack Humpty
Students perform mathematical calculations to design safety device or enclosure to protect an egg as it is rolled down a ramp at increasing slopes.
Curated OER
What is a Gas?
Students develop a scientific model of gas behavior. In this gas lesson plan, students observe different balloons filled with different densities of gases. They complete an activity where they model the behavior of gases using marbles, a...
Curated OER
Automobile-Accident Reconstruction
Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

The Higgs Boson and The Mystery of Mass
In this Higgs Boson and mass worksheet, learners read about the differences in elementary particle mass and they solve 4 equations using a given equation for the potential energy in the Higgs Boson field.
Curated OER
Transformation of Energy: Heat
Sixth graders investigate how heat is transferred and the concepts of conduction, convection, and radiation. They define key vocabulary terms, and observe teacher-led demonstrations of conduction, convection, and radiation.
Curated OER
Heat And Heat Transfer
Students role play molecules in a container as the container is heated to develop a definition of heat and temperature. They also observe demonstrations of conduction, convection, radiation, and phase transfer. Using these observations...
Curated OER
Energy Tag
Students explore how the blood flows and carries oxygent from the lungs to the heart and to the body to create energy after participating in chasing, fleeing and dodging activities. They actively move through an obstacle course...
Curated OER
Letter and Word Scramble
Students engage in a instructional activity designed to encourage the identification of letters and their characteristics, as well as moving them using a variety of locomotor skills. This done using the instructional strategy of playing...
Curated OER
Math Challenge
Students, using laminated math flash cards, play a review game with a partner. Also using Polyspots, they run, walk, or skip to the board with their answers.
Curated OER
Geometry of Radio Meteor Reflections
Ninth graders investigate and describe ways that human understanding of Earth and space has depended on technological development. They describe and interpret the science of optical and radio telescopes, space probes and remote sensing...
Curated OER
Energy Transformation
Students identify different kinds of energy such as heat energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, and magnetic energy. They investigate the concept of conservation of energy.
Curated OER
Scooter Signal
Students practice the use of hand signals to designate right or left turns. In this safety instructional activity, students ride a scooter following paths set up to look like sidewalks and roads. Students practice forming the proper...
Curated OER
How Do Airplanes Stay off the Ground?
Young scholars use balloons and string to duplicate Bernoulli's Principle of wing shape and its affect on liftoff.
Curated OER
Cartoon Challenge
Students practice locomotor movements and space awareness while reinforcing knowledge of living and non-living things learned from the classroom.
