Electricity for Kids! It's Shocking!
Students investigate the world of electricity by completing a KWL sheet. In this energy lesson, students view PowerPoint presentations about electricity, who invented it, and how it is used today. Students define several electricity...
Curated OER
A Peek into the Lives of Stars!
Learners create a model of the birth of a star and demonstrate the stages of the star's lifecycle. In this star lifecycle lesson plan, students mix flour and water in a jar to model the birth of a star, then role-play the entire...
Curated OER
Oxygen
Students explore oxygen and its physical and chemical propeties. In this investigative lesson students complete several experiments using oxygen.
Curated OER
Plate Tectonic - Volcanoes
Students watch and learn the different levels of "viscosity" in liquids to explain molten lava after viewing a video of a Hawaiian volcano.
Curated OER
Hang a Million
Students hang 200 sheets of paper, each with 5000 X's, around the classroom.When completed, this gives them a concrete example of 1,000,000 which is useful in getting a feel for the lengths of time involved in evolution.
Curated OER
Floating Vegetables
Students design a craft that safely floats vegetables across a classroom. The teacher provides some materials, but the child may as well. As the experiment is created, they have to fill out worksheets to keep the actiivity organized....
Curated OER
What is Matter?
Students create a definition of matter. In this physical science lesson, students work in pairs to sort items printed on cards into several categories (matter, non-matter, and unsure) and agree on a definition of matter.
Curated OER
What Are Elements?
Students investigate elements by by defining scientific terms. Â In this Periodic Table of Elements lesson, students utilize a glass of water, and powdered fruit drink to perform a lab activity demonstrating properties of certain...
Curated OER
Gravity - The Glue of the Universe
Young scholars explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this gravitational force lesson, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Young scholars utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to simulate a...
Curated OER
Magnet Mania
Students explore magnetic fields. In this science lesson, students create a magnetic field using electricity. Students observe the effect of a magnetic field on the compass needle.
Curated OER
Charge Challenge
Students observe the behavior of different charged objects. In this science lesson, students perform a series of static electricity experiments. They discuss their observations in class.
Curated OER
Natural Gas Lesson-How Natural Gas Forms
Students examine background natural gas and how it is formed and what it is made of. Titles within the series include How Natural Gas Forms, What Happens to Natural Gas when it is burned, and How Natural Gas can be used. Provides very...
Curated OER
How Small Can You Cut?
Students explore quarks, the smallest particles known. They follow a table to determine how many paper cuts they would have to make to get down to the size of a quark. They cut a paper strip in half as many times as they possibly can...
Curated OER
Charge It!
Pupils complete an experiment using balloons to help them examine the concept of static electricity. They discover how engineers use this information to create better air filters for homes. They describe how to charge an insulator as...
Curated OER
Static Cling
Students work together to discover the concept of static electricity. They participate in an experiment in which they test different objects charge. They make observations and record them for later use.
Curated OER
Blast's Cosmic Carnival
Young scholars, after analyzing the history of a concentrator, model how a Genesis spacecraft concentrator works by playing a game. In groups of three or four, after being given materials to work with, are challenged to roll the rubber...
Curated OER
Here Comes the Sun
Third graders watch a video on the solar system and examine the role of the sun. As a class, they complete a KWL chart and make different color temperature pockets to use during their experiment. In groups, they make predictions about...
