Global Change — Change and Cycles Where Land, Air and Water Meet
Students participate in an experiment to define a parts-per-billion solution. In this ecology lesson, students select a second substance to create a parts-per-billion solution and observe and record their results. Students work in groups...
Curated OER
How Sweat Glands Cool Your Body
Students use water and rubbing alcohol to explain how sweat cools mammals' bodies. They write their findings in a journal. After a lecture/demo, students perform a simple experiment that demonstrates this phenomenae.
Curated OER
The Connection Between Pigment and Light Colors
Students learn the procedure for mixing secondary colors from primary pigments and observe the results of mixing two primary colors.
Curated OER
WHY DO SOME THINGS FLOAT WHILE OTHERS SINK
Young scholars explore how density can cause things to sink or float by experimenting with a jar, oil and corn syrup.
Curated OER
BOUNCING INFORMATION AROUND
Students examine how satellite signals are sent and duplicate it with a mirror, flashlight and black paper.
Curated OER
Astrophysics Science Project Integrating Research and Education
Students determine if the particles are coming from above, below, or from one side or the other by using a circular array of scintillators
Curated OER
Is the Earth Warming? a Test of the Effect of Increased Carbon Dioxide on the Thermal Properties of Air
Students investigate the environmental and economic effects of increased carbon dioxide (CO2) content in the atmosphere.
Curated OER
What's it Like Inside the Sun?
Students perform experiment in which they model convection as it occurs in our Sun. They also explain that convection acts where the effect of gravity and heat are present (low density fluids can rise and cool, and high density fluids...
Curated OER
Cloud Shadows
Students classify the visual opacity of various materials, what is needed to create shadows, and classify clouds by the types of shadows that they produce.
Curated OER
Water in the Air
Students simulate how clouds block radition and how water in the air condense around containers.
Curated OER
Go With the Flow!
Students experiment with heat transfer in a countercurrent system and describe the importance of conduction in heat-energy transfer.
Curated OER
It's All In The Surface: The Effects Of Color & Texture On The Ability Of A Surface To Absorb Solar Energy
Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.
