The Economics of Valentine's Day
Young scholars develop an understanding of the determinants of supply and demand. They use this understanding to explain changes in how supply and demand affect the price and the quantity exchanged of roses.
Curated OER
Elasticity of Gases
Students investigate gas laws and apply them in experimental conditions. Using an apparatus composed of a syringe and wooden blocks, they experimentally verify Boyle's and Charles' laws of gases.
Curated OER
Balance and Gravity
Students examine the concepts of balance. In this balance and gravity lesson students view a demonstration of a leaning tower and see how to find the center of gravity.
