Curated OER
Reflections
Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Force and Gliders
Students explore physics by creating data graphs in class. In this flight properties lesson, students read the book Flying Machine and identify the force, resistance and construction necessary to keep a glider in the air. Students...

ALASKA-CANADA HIGHWAY PROBLEM
Students create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.
Curated OER
Respiration in Sammy's Cells
Students practice translating biological ideas into graphical representations and explore respiration in the context of an exercise session in this 50 minute lesson on aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The lesson includes a question...
Curated OER
Human Tools: From Stone to Iron
In this tools worksheet, students read about the tools used during the Stone Age and how the process of smelting lead to a great change in tool making. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Lesson 3: Understanding Population Growth
Students explain population growth in Maryland and its relationship with age structure, household growth and consumption of land.
Curated OER
Basketball And Mathematics
Eighth graders collect and analyze data about foul shots taken at basketball games.
Curated OER
Egg Measurement
Students explore measurement and units. They measure eggs to determine their density, mass and percent composition. An inquiry approach is used for students to ascertain the mass.

High School Mathematics Problems from Alaska: AL-CAN Highway Problem
High schoolers write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.
Curated OER
Great Graphs
Students create graphs by tabulating their preferences among 10 state quarters. They examine quarters and tally their favorites. They complete a worksheet. There are more lesson plans included in this unit.
Curated OER
Dose-Response Relationship
Students complete their observations of germinating seeds. They create a graph showing all of their data and develop a dose-response curve. They compare their data with other groups and analyze the curves.
Curated OER
Investigation of Timbre
Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. For this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.
