Geology Quiz- Common Rocks
In this earth science quiz worksheet, learners attempt to guess the name of the rocks based on the descriptions that are given on the page. They determine the names of 10 rocks that are igneous or sedimentary, and check their work with...
Discovery Education
Sonar & Echolocation
A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Does that Sound Right to You?
Ninth graders are introduced to the components of compressional and transverse. They practice answering speed problems involving different mediums that waves travel trhough and then review the wave PowerPoint. They then visit physics...
Curated OER
Shells and Subshells
Learners explore how to show evidence of subshells and electron filling on the visual scale. They examine subshell filling and evaluate unknowns based on the atomic emission spectrum. Students design an experiment to identify colors of...

Center of Gravity
Seventh graders determine the center of gravity of an object. They get card stock objects to balance on pencil eraser and a meter stick to balance with same # of weighted string(s) on each side. They get meter stick to balance with...
Curated OER
Transmission of Electricity
Students examine why electricity is distributed at high voltage and the functions of transformers. In this electromagnetism lesson students study at what frequency electricity is distributed.
Curated OER
Electricity – Ohm’s Law
Students investigate the relationship between voltage and current. In this physics lesson, students observe and collect data from the experiment. They graph the result and share them to class.
Curated OER
Sequences
Students solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.
Curated OER
Making Concrete and Safety Instructions
Students demonstrate using tools correctly in order to make concrete. In this concrete lesson plan, students brainstorm on how to use waste to make concrete and take a safety exam.
