Summer Health Activity: Challenging Courses
Young scholars invent outdoor activities. In this early childhood lesson plan, students practice cooperation and large motor skills while they engage in and invent a variety of organized outdoor play activities. The activities encourage...
Curated OER
Mirror Mirror
Students participate in an experiment to help them explain specular and diffusion reflection.
Curated OER
A Close Encounter of the Tree Kind
Learners study trees in their natural habitat. In this tree activity, students complete a number of outdoor activities to estimate the height of a tree, examine how bark can be a distinguishing tree characteristic, and how to make a bark...
Curated OER
Matter in Motion
Second graders examine matter, what it is and what the different states are. In this matter lesson plan students view The Magic School Bus Meets Molly Cule and answer questions.
Curated OER
The Binary Counter Circuit
Students count from 0-99 using the binary number system. In this algebra instructional activity, students problem solve by working with faulty circuits and applying their knowledge f Binary Numbers. They work in team to create a solution.
Curated OER
Ramp and Review
Students participate in an activity in which they observe a ball as it rolls down an incline into a cup. They take measurements and use equations that describe the concepts of mechanical energy, work and power, momentum, and friction. ...
