Curated OER
pH Change and Brine Shrimp eggs
High schoolers determine if brine shrimp eggs hatch and develop more readily in an environment which has an acid or a basic pH. They evaluate the pH level which is optimal for the hatching and development of brine
shrimp.
Curated OER
Temperature and Brine Shrimp Eggs
Students determine the optimal temperature at which brine shrimp eggs hatch and develop. They evaluate the changes, if any, which occur in a brine shrimp culture at various temperatures.

Is Dilution the Solution to Pollution?
Students explore the different types of pollution. they conduct experiments using dye mixed with tap water to measure the levels of dilution. They discuss at what point the dye (pollution) would be diluted enough to be safe to drink.
Curated OER
Water Quality Monitoring
Young scholars study the water quality of a stream in their area, by measuring the temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity. They integrate biology with earth science when using the microscope to study the living organisms in the water.

Take a Dip: Sticky Water
Students complete lab activities to investigate the "sticky" properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action, due to the polarity of the molecules.

Learning Lesson: Measure the Pressure -- The "Wet" Barometer
Students use simple objects to create their own barometer. They have five days to build it and ten days to observe and collect data. They examine thunderstorm safety tips to end the lesson.
Curated OER
Icebergs Ahead!
Students experiment with density of ice, and examine how density affects how icebergs float in water.
Curated OER
Different Types of Orange Juice Contain the Same Amounts of Vitamin C?
Students measure and compare the amount of vitamin C in orange juice samples. They discover the effects of different factors on the concentration of vitamin C. They participate in an experiment to test the orange juice.
Curated OER
Extraction of DNA from White Onion
Students conduct lab test with minced onion to determine where chromosonal DNA is located within the cell, and whether or not it can be extracted.
Curated OER
Determine Soil Particle Size
Students examine various soil samples in groups. Using the samples, they identify the characteristics of them and calculate percolation and infiltration rates. They use this information to discover why some species can survive in one...
Curated OER
Aortic Stenosis Investigation
Students describe how blood flows through the heart and the anatomy of the aortic valve. They examine the condition of aortic stenosis and create diagrams of the condition in the heart. They complete experiments using the model they...
Curated OER
Chemical Reactions
Students work in groups to define chemistry vocabulary including the terms reactants, products, exothermic and endothermic. They then combine the group definitions to arrive at a consensus definition for the class. Students also listen...
Curated OER
Cation Separation and Identification
Students conduct an experiment in which they systematically separate cations from a mixture of substances. They use the following types of reactions to do so: precipitation, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction. They compare a...
Curated OER
Spectrophotometry Lab
Young scholars use a machine called a spectrophotometer to determine how much light is absorbed by certain substances. Students record the absorbance and the % of light transmitted for different color solutions, graph their results, and...
Curated OER
Elasticity of Gases
Young scholars investigate gas laws and apply them in experimental conditions. Using an apparatus composed of a syringe and wooden blocks, they experimentally verify Boyle's and Charles' laws of gases.
Curated OER
A Cosmic Cafeteria
Students indentify and differentiate between transit and surface food systems. Students measure energy that is released by various foods. Students compare and contrast cooking with solar energy on earth and what they might have learned...
Curated OER
pH Readings and Salinity Readings of Water From Three Locations Within the Neponset River Watershed
Sixth graders test the ph levels of water from three different water environments within the Neponset River Watershed. They discuss the three different water environments, take pH measurements of the three samples, and predict which...
Curated OER
What's The Level?
Young scholars examine the movement of the water table and saturation zones. They describe the movements of the water table and locate the saturation zones. Students identify the function of each saturation zone. They develop a model of...
Curated OER
Soil Organisms
Students work together to collect soil samples from different locations. In the samples, they identify the macroorganisms and classify them. They identify the conditions that affect how macroorganisms grow. They also analyze and identify...
Curated OER
Globalisation: Getting an education
Students are reading the story about Dani Harmer. In pairs they write down five things they know about life in Africa. They then are asked why do they think Dani Harmer wants to draw students's attention to the value of education? ...
Curated OER
Solubility and Chemical Changes in Groundwater
Young scholars test pH of water before and after it travels through different substrates (igneous pebbles and limestone) to detemine how soluble materials can affect groundwater. They answer questions such as: What happended to the pH of...
Curated OER
DNA Extraction Laboratory Experiment
Students will visualize how DNA is extracted from cells by performing a simple laboratory experiment. They will then use this knowledge to further understand how scientists are using DNA extraction to try to clone human cells, and to...
Curated OER
Characterizing Drosophila Mutants
Students investigate wild-type and several mutant varieties of Drosophila melanogaster, which are characterized and distinguished according to pteridine pigments. They discoverthat paper chromatography of the wild-type Drosophila results...
Curated OER
Estimating the Live Mass of Dinosaurs
Pupils calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.
