Curated OER
Lemon Battery
Students construct their own battery made of lemons. In this electrochemistry lesson, students explain why lemons conduct electricity. They perform a series of experiments to investigate its conductivity.
Curated OER
Electrical Battery
Students investigate the different types of batteries and how they work. In this energy lesson students experiment with batteries and see which ones last the longest.
Curated OER
Coin Battery
Students explore basic principles of electricity and create their own battery.
Curated OER
Electrical Energy
Students compare and contrast a cell and a battery. In this physical science lesson plan, students explain how they create energy. They conduct an experiment to apply what they have learned in this lesson plan.
Micron Technology Foundation
Electricity
Conduct four electrifying electricity experiments that challenge young scientists to explore positive and negative charges and magnetic fields without the shock.
Curated OER
The Transfer of Energy 2: Electrochemistry
Students study about electrochemistry by increasing their understanding of electron transfer and its role in chemical changes. They explain that energy appears in different forms. Heat energy is in the disorderly motion of molecules.
Curated OER
Am I Neutral? pH Properties in Soil
Middle schoolers participate in a science lab to determine the pH of three different soil samples. Students conduct an experiment by creating a question, a hypothesis and then an investigation of soil samples. Then they compare colors...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students investigate how water changes state. In this water lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. This lesson includes extensions which can be accessed via the provided web links.
Curated OER
Acids and Bases
Students study acid and bases and how they fall on the pH scale. In this solutions lesson plan students complete a lob activity using litmus then fill out a data table.
