Curated OER
Which Colors Absorb the Most Energy?
Students measure the temperatures over time of different colored envelopes in order to explore the different rates at which each color absorbs energy from a heat lamp. They record their data and graph their results.
Curated OER
Property: Ownership, Respect, and Responsibilty
Learners brainstorm objects that belong to themselves, classmates, the teacher, and the school. They discuss and rank what happens when personal property is damaged.
Curated OER
Where Is Japan? How Far Is That?
First graders use literature and hands-on activities with maps and globes to explain distance and tools used to measure distance. They select tools to measure various objects in the classroom, then apply those concepts to their map...
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Young scholars perform an experiment to find the dew point at ground level and then make a chart to determine where a cloud would form.
Curated OER
Water Quality and Temperature
Students evaluate the effects of temperature changes on the metabolic rate of a clam. Conclusion questions are addressed which help students to process and articulate their experiences.
Curated OER
You want me to do what with this Dirt?
Eighth graders explore how to take soil samples and use GPS to determine the location of the site they have chosen to take the samples.
Curated OER
Assessing the Physical World
Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.
Curated OER
Science: Quick Freeze
Students observe an experiment of freezing point depression using club soda. Through observation, they note that the carbon dioxide molecules disrupt the capacity of the water molecules to solidify. Precautions must be taken to assure...
Curated OER
The Effects of Color on Heat Absorption And Climate
Students conduct an experiment to determine the effects of soil color on its day and night time temperatures. In small groups, they prepare dishes of black soil, brown peat moss, and white sand. They record the temperature changes when a...
Curated OER
Density Currents
Learners experiment with currents caused by temperature variations that simulate the origins and flow of polar bottom currents. They discover water density is affected by temperature and salinity, resulting in deep water currents.
Curated OER
So, just how hot am I?
Students design a lab demonstrating the scientific method. In this earth science activity, students investigate different materials for their heat absorbing property. They report their findings in class.
Curated OER
Weather Log
Students develop the skill of recording weather observations. Not only students be responsible for recording visual observations of the sky, but also collecting and recording weather instrument data.
Curated OER
Cool Coral Reefs
Students identify, color and label the continents of the world and the equator. They identify and produce water temperature between 74 and 78 degrees. They identify and discuss the term polyps and construct a colony of polyps.
Curated OER
The Effect of Moisture on Soil Temperature
Young scholars analyze the relationship between soil moisture and its effect on soil temperature.
Curated OER
The Chemistry of Fire and Other Oxidation Reactions
Students explore the process of combustion.
Curated OER
What is a Cloud?
Third graders identify a cloud and explore how they form. They create an acrostic poem about clouds.
Curated OER
DOES A FLUCTUATION IN TEMPERATURE IFFECT THE GROWTH AND SURVIVAL RATE OF AQUATIC PLANTS?
Pupils determine if different temperatures effect the growth and survival rates of aquatic plants and evaluate the optimal temperature for the growth of aquatic plants.
Curated OER
Explore: 4th Grade Beaufort Wind Speed
Fourth graders measure wind speed, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction. They compare their observations with those of actual weather forecasts.
Curated OER
Canned Heat
Pupils demonstrate that light and dark colored objects absorb the sun's radiation at different rates. They experiment with the temperature change of water in two locations and discuss the results.
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.
Curated OER
Quick Freeze (Demonstration)
Students witness an demonstration in which a bottle of club soda will go from a liquid to a solid when it is opened and the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape. This will help them understand that the freezing point of a solution will...
Curated OER
Classifying Rocks
Students classify rocks into groups after they observe the rocks and identify properties that can be used to divide them into groups. They then identify other properties that could be used to classify other objects into groups.
Curated OER
Containers
Students investigate the effect of different container materials on heat transfer; draws a conclusion about the best insulator; and applies concept to a new, seemingly quite different problem.
Curated OER
Measurement: Using the balance
Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.
