Super-Ball Physics
Learners experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Learners graph the results...
Curated OER
Cardiac Maze
Students participate in a role-play activity to lean about red and white blood cells, veins, capillaries and arteries. They also see how blood passes through the heart, lungs and out of the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients.
Curated OER
Creating an Enzyme-Substrate Model
Young scholars explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function.
Students graph and...

Bouncing off the Walls
Third graders compare the bouncing height of different types of balls. For this science lesson, 3rd graders explain the importance of repeated experimentation in science. They record their result and share them with the class.
Curated OER
Balance Stations
Students are introduced to the concept of balance. In groups, they travel between eight stations in which they balance their own body and different types of balls. To end the lesson, they share which one was the hardest and the easiest.
Curated OER
Magnetic Discovery Bottle
Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data. In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets.
