Physics: Electricity and Magnetism
Students draw series and parallel electrical circuits. In this electromagnet lesson, students describe how current changes depend on circuit components. Students use an OHT of a series and parallel circuit to predict the path of...
Curated OER
Physics: Light and Sound
Students explore the concepts of light waves and sound waves. In this physics instructional activity, students complete activities that require them to investigate how light and sound waves travel.
Curated OER
Chemistry: Changing Materials
Students examine physical change with different temperature and solvents. In this elements and compounds lesson, students conduct experiments to discover what happens to the mass of a substance when is undergoes a physical change.
Curated OER
Chemistry: Metals and Non-Metals
Students conduct an experiment to test the reactivity of metals and non-metals. For this chemistry lesson students test metals with different chemicals to observe the reaction. The results are used to categorize the metals.
Curated OER
RHS Campaign for School Indicator
Students study Ph and how acids and bases can affect it. In this indicators activity students divide into groups and complete a lab activity to investigate what happens when they add indicators.
Curated OER
Thunderbirds: Forces
Students investigate the concepts of thrust and how rockets are launched into the air. They watch a clip of the television show Thunderbirds, and draw a basic diagram of the Thunderbird ships, labeling it with arrows to identify the...
Curated OER
Human genome project
High schoolers research writings on "the book of life." Students research the human genome project. High schoolers discover the issues of nature versus nurture are still hashed over in the scientific community.
Curated OER
Physics: Forces and Motion
Students recognize the effect of Earth's gravity on an object's weight. In this force and motion instructional activity students understand the role of gravity when you drop an object. Students experiment with small items. Students...
