Curated OER
Running With Momentum
High schoolers discuss the conservation of momentum in a collision between two bumper cars. They are given the equation for momentum. Students then solve problems using the equation for momentum.
Curated OER
Travel Mug Design
Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...
Curated OER
Newton's Laws of Motion
Sixth graders explore Newton's laws of motion with their own bodies. In this relative motion instructional activity students will use a wide range of materials bringing them from the concrete to the abstract on video. Students will draw...
Curated OER
Blast Off to Learning
Students explain the laws of volume and pressure, identify what a limiting reagent is and why it is important in a chemical reaction, and distinguish between fossil fuels and renewable energy sources.

Phat Shredders and Phony Phorces: Snowboarding, Winter Sports, Olympics, Sport Safety, Science, Physics
Young scholars study about the history, physical science, and safety issues involved in snowboarding.
Curated OER
Substances And Chemical Reactions
Young scholars watch and predict chemical reactions when different substances are mixed together. They differentiate between solid, liquid, and gas.
Curated OER
Momentum
Students learn the concepts of momentum and its conservation, using the recoil of a cannon as an example. They examine how momentum is a vector, allowing its conservation to be applied to problems in 2 and 3 dimensions.
Curated OER
EGG-STRA, EGG-STRA LEARN ALL ABOUT IT
Students explore how animals produce young by watching age-appropriate videos on the subject. They watch as chicken eggs either hatch or not in an incubator.
Curated OER
A Moving Experience - Forces and Inertia
Students view a video and complete corresponding activities to observe inertia. They observe and predict the effect various forces have on objects.
Curated OER
Space
First graders examine space in this unit of lessons. They create a KWL chart and write in their journals about space. They also examine the phases of the moon and identify the constellations.
Curated OER
Strong as the Weakest Link
Learners discover the types of stress that materials undergo. They examine how bridges and skyscrapers are built to withhold the tension. They create their own structure out of marshmallows and spaghetti.
Curated OER
The Right Order
Students investigate the Space Transportation System and the sequence of a space shuttle launch. They view and discuss photos, watch a video of a shuttle launch, and place shuttle launch cards in the correct order.
Curated OER
A Tour of the Solar System
Students construct a spacecraft out of Lego blocks and other materials. They work on their models in small groups while building. They become familar with the planets while working cooperatively.
