Hiding Behind the Mask
Microchips are a man-made wonder. Investigate the manufacturing wonder with a hands-on inquiry-based activity. Scholars simulate the process of pattern transfer using photoresist. Their conclusion identifies how their process replicates...
Curated OER
Lightning
Students investigate lightning. In this lightning lesson, students demonstrate how static electricity is in the air by observing how a balloon reacts to a charge.
Curated OER
Comparing Light Bulbs
Fifth graders compare filaments in different light bulbs. In this science lesson, 5th graders view the filaments of light bulbs under a microscope.
Curated OER
How Stuff Is Put Together (Chemical Bonding)
Fourth graders participate in a simple experiment that shows the ratio of elements that make up water.
Curated OER
The Magic of Static
Students investigate static electricity. In this physics lesson, students participate in an experiment with balloons to demonstrate how static electricity works.
Curated OER
Plant Pigments
Students investigate the components of chlorophyll. They use paper chromatography to separate the many pigments of chlorophyll from one another.
Curated OER
Introduction to the Periodic Table
Eighth graders investigate the different elements of the Periodic Table. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders pick an element to research, then present to the class using a powerpoint presentation or a poster.
Curated OER
Microbe Power- Using a Winogradsky Column as a Battery
Young scholars demonstrate the changes that take place when they complete their experiment. In this battery lesson students complete a lab activity.
Curated OER
The Great Gas Race
Fourth graders improve their understanding of Graham's Law by using properties of gases to evaluate the rate of effusion of two compounds as they vaporize. They engage in a lab which elevates their understanding of the properties of gases.
