Curated OER
Radioactive Decay/Half Life
Young scholars demonstrate radioactive decay using candy corns. In this Physics lesson plan, students make predictions, collect data and form conclusions about patterns in radioactive decay.
Curated OER
Matter and Chemical Bonding
In this chemical bonding activity, students read about the invisible killer, dihydrogen monoxide. Students read about the products it is used in and the problems it causes to the environment. Then students complete 19 short answer...

What Is Electricity?
Students investigate vocabulary words associated with electricity. In this electrical instructional activity, students utilize the Internet to research what electricity is and how it works. Students create an actual circuit in class...
Curated OER
Classifying Matter Game
Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.
Curated OER
Pauli's Magical Water
Learners predict the shape of molecules using VSEPR theory. For this chemistry lesson, students differentiate a polar and nonpolar molecule. They discuss why water's polarity is very important.
Curated OER
Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
Students calculate the values of electron binding energies. In this physics lesson, students solve for different wavelength characteristics of X-rays. They present their findings to the class.
Curated OER
Grating Spectrometer
Students calculate the Balmer series. In this physics lesson, students observe hydrogen lamp spectra using spectrometers. They calculate wavelength and compare them with their theoretical calculations.
Curated OER
Titration Lab
Students determine the concentration of an unknown solution using titration. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the difference between acids and bases. They discuss the role of indicators in titration.
