How Many Stars in the Milky Way?
Students perform an experiment in which they will use a statistical method called `sampling' to count to a billion (and beyond). Students practice sampling by estimating the number of characters on a page from the classified section of a...
Curated OER
What is the Anatomy of the Visual System?
Students research the structures and functions of the eye. In small groups they dissect a model of the human eye, identify structures of the eye, and describe the functions of the photoreceptors.
Curated OER
"Why Is the Sky Blue?"
Students investigate why the sky is blue and the sunset is red. They are asked why do you think that we see the sky as blue? Students write a hypothesis on their "Blue Sky Lab Sheet". They explain why they think that the sky is blue...
Curated OER
Naturally Magnetic Elements
Students explore naturally magnetic elements. In this magnets lesson, students examine the periodic table of elements. Students discover the parts of an atom and determine which three elements are magnetic.
Curated OER
Twisted Vision
Students investigate the vision adaptations in marine animals in their environments. In this life science lesson, students use polarized filters and make observations. Students explain how the adaptation of polarized vision is an...
Curated OER
Lenses
Young scholars explore vision by experimenting with lenses in equipment. In this optics lesson plan, students define the different technology that enhances vision such as microscopes, telescopes and cameras. Young scholars experiment...
Curated OER
How Do We Know...?
Students identify and explain how various inventions and astronomers have improved our appreciation of the universe. Students identify at least two constellations in the sky and discuss how they were used in ancient times to tell time...
Curated OER
A Look At Sunspots
Young scholars research how the development of new technology has increased our knowledge of how the sun works. This lesson is part of a three-part series aimed at showing students how our knowledge of the universe must be inferred...
Curated OER
Which Colored Filter Will Decode a Secret Message?
Students investigate how to create secrete messages through filters. They view pictures with red and green filters and discuss what they observe. They select the color filter that works best to read secret messages. They view pictures...
Curated OER
Chandra X-Ray Observatory
Young scholars tour Chandra's top galactic X-ray images. In this Chandra X-Ray Observatory lesson, students play games and complete puzzles based on the Chandra Mission and X-Ray Astronomy. Young scholars listen to pod casts, question an...
Curated OER
The Eye and Color Images
Learners study the eye. In this biology lesson plan, students observe and experiment with visual images as they learn about the basic parts of the eye. Learners also demonstrate how an image is projected upon the retinal network.
Curated OER
Day and Night
Students using experiments try to demonstrate how observations can be affected by the cycles of night and day.
Curated OER
Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
Students examine the relationship between temperature and brightness. In this astronomy lesson students will correlate the evolution of stars to the HR diagram plotted.
Curated OER
Flame Test
Students conduct a flame test on different substances. In this chemistry lesson, students predict the element present based on the color emitted during the flame test. They explain how different elements produce different colors.
Curated OER
Molecular Evolution in Plants
Students are using a paper chromatography study that is suitable for introductory biology. The absorption spectra studies and gel electrophoresis studies are appropriate for students who have complete both introductory biology and...
Curated OER
Molecular Evolution in Plants
Students examine chlorophylls. They explore the absorbing pigments in a variety of plants. Through activities, students determine spectrophotometrically. They compare plant proteins from the family Brassicace to assess the level of...
