Students use GPS and trees to explore lichens and air quality.
Curated OER
A Lab Trilogy for Beginning Biology Teachers
Students are able to explain their models to other students and to their parents. Then students like to decorate the room by hanging the models or constructing mobiles of a number of models.
Curated OER
What is an Electromagnet?
Students give examples of electromagnet applications. In this physics lesson, students explore what makes electromagnets work. They experiment picking paper clips with it.
Curated OER
CHARTING A COURSE
Students model how a gyroscope works with string, an old phonograph record and crayon.
Curated OER
Make Your Own "Weather" Map
Learners create their own "weather" map using data from x-ray sources. They analyze and discuss why it is important to organize data in a fashion in which is easy to read. They compare and contrast different x-ray sources using a stellar...
Curated OER
Prosthetic Design
Learners research characteristics of different body parts. Students design and sketch a prosthetic they developed. They share their idea with the class and complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
What Shape Is It?
Students attempt to determine the shape of a hidden item by bouncing a ball off of it. They attempt to determine how a ball would bounce off of an item and by rolling the ball until it hits and bounces off the item. They draw both their...
Curated OER
2 x 2
Middle schoolers work together to grid a 2 x 2 meter unit using the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem. After creating the grid, they identify the location of artifacts and create a map of their location. They develop a graph and table...

If You Mess With A Wetland, At Least Try to Make Amends!
Eighth graders examine the role of wetlands in an ecosystem. In groups, they use the internet to research how humans have disturbed and ruined the effectiveness of wetlands throughout the country. They pretend they are in charge of...
Curated OER
Glacial Geocaching
Eighth graders measure strike and dip of given land features and explain the difference between them. They also look at rock and mineral samples for indentification, along with calculating the density. Finally, information is analyzed...
Curated OER
Exploration Activities
Students examine the stages in finding, removing, and processing mineral resources. They participate in the "Exploration Hunt" and "Leasing Mineral Rights" activities to better get a handle on their studying.
Curated OER
Using Magnetotactic Bacteria to Study Natural Selection
High schoolers demonstrate that living organisms may possess incredible adaptations which enable them to survive. They observe bacteria that are able to orient themselves using the Earth's magnetic field and formulate a hypothesis as to...
Curated OER
Mini-Squares of Life
Students brainstorm to decide the best way to mark off square areas (that they will later study) that are smaller than one meter. They compare the suitability of different designs and create "mini-square markers." Finally, they test...
Curated OER
Orientation of the Earth in Space
Students hypothesize the location of the sun in the sky at diferent times of day and at different latitudes. They perform several experiments to provide evidence for their hypothesis. Experiments including observing the sun's position at...
Curated OER
Transformation of Energy-8th Grade
Eighth graders examine how electricity is produced in relation to the atom as well as what causes electric current to flow and what determines how much current flows through a circuit. These and other concepts of transformation of energy...
Curated OER
Spatial Characterization of Animal Movement
Students identify biotic and abiotic factors which may alter the observed patterns in plant communities with different structural characteristics, climate, or environmental constraints.
Curated OER
My Life as a Loggerhead
Students discuss the current flow of the Gulf Stream and the characteristics of the Sargasso Sea. They visit websites to gather information on loggerhead sea turtles. Students imagine that they are newly hatched loggerhead turtles.
Curated OER
Simple Machines make work easier.
Students examine how simple machine work can make work easier. In this machines lesson students complete an activity that shows them what makes up a machine, and how to measure displacement and velocity.
Curated OER
What Shape Is It?
Students predict the shape of an unknown object by bouncing a ball on it. In this physics lesson, students relate this activity to how dolphins use echo-location to navigate. They analyze their lab result and discuss findings.
