Evaluating Sensors and the Impacts of Physiological Stress: Designing a Wearable Device for Rescue Workers
A long-term project has scholars consider ways in which sensors help monitor physiological stress levels of rescue workers. They design and create a portable device for this purpose. Techies to the rescue!
Curated OER
Term Paths
Students follow several pathways using anatomical directions on a simulated "body" produced from a copy of a school building's fire evacuation plan.
Curated OER
TE Activity: Sound Line
Students investigate the decibel readings of various noises. They determine why high-level readings damage hearing. Students arrange sound from the lowest to highest decibel levels when they written on a piece of paper.
Curated OER
Divers's Decompression
Students are exposed to the physics and physiology of scuba diving, study the principals applied in the U.S. Navy Decompression tables and work out typical decompression problems.

Human Body
Fifth graders determine what muscles do and identify the different types. In this muscle lesson, 5th graders discuss what they know about muscles before looking at the book, The Human Body by Jonathan Miller. They take a teacher made...

Children's Literature Across the Curriculum Ideas-Two Eyes, A Nose, and A Mouth
Learners read Two Eyes, A Nose, and A Mouth by Roberta Grobel Intrater. They complete a variety of cross-curricular activities surrounding faces and facial features. Included are reading, art, math, science, writing, social studies, and...
Curated OER
Roadkill Museum
Students use roadside kill to use taxidermy skills, become comfortable working with animals and dissecting.
Curated OER
Zoo Vet
Students come up with a list of all the animals that might be found in a zoo. They think of all the things that a zoo needs to do and provide for each animal. They discuss what the role of any zoo should be. They design a healthy zoo...

Hold Off on the Headphones
Pupils determine that waves carry energy and information from one place to another. They determine that wavelength, frequency and wave speed are related and describe that sound is a longitudinal wave whose speed depends on the...
Curated OER
Hold Off on the Headphones
Students explore hearing loss caused by sound waves. In this physical science lesson plan, students will start by learning about waves and wave characteristics and move into sound waves. Students will study how sound effects their...
Curated OER
Axial Skeleton and Fetal Skull
In this science worksheet, students identify bone groups from a given list. Students list each bone included in the axial skeleton. Students answer questions about specific bones, their location and importance.
Curated OER
Science Fair Unit
Eighth graders explore the scientific method. After choosing an approved science fair project, 8th graders go through the scientific method process. Students gather information to analyze data and evaluate a conclusion. They write a...
Curated OER
The Invention of the Telephone
Students study the history of the telephone and its inventor. In this communications lesson students complete a tuning fork experiment to further demonstrate how sound is produced.
