Recognizing Propaganda-Loaded Language
Students study a print ad for an abdominal toning device after discussing what strategies are necessary for healthy weight loss and muscle tone. They practice the skill of recognizing propaganda in print advertising.
Curated OER
Tower Challenge
Young scholars investigate how buildings are able to support a great amount of weight and stand on their own. They participate in a class discussion about engineering, and in small groups construct a free standing tower that is one...
Curated OER
Balance Point
In this math/science instructional activity, students find the balance point of a variety of objects, and complete ten problems. Students look at sketches of objects and calculate the balance point, and also use meter sticks and weights....
Curated OER
Simple Harmonic Motion
Students explore the theory of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by performing hands-on, practical application experiments. In this harmonic motion instructional activity, students use strings of various lengths and bobs of different weights...
Curated OER
Nutrition Awareness
High schoolers gain an awareness of nutrition. In this science lesson plan, students explore how to determine his or her ideal body weight, demonstrate familiarity with the food groups relating to kilocaloric content, estimate the basic...
Curated OER
Demonstrating the Kinds of Energy
Students experiment with inner tubes, weights, flasks, and pistons to demonstrate the gas laws. In this molecular motion lesson, students demonstrate pressure as a force per area. They conduct an experiment to show the relationship...
Curated OER
Ratio, Percent, & Proportions
Seventh graders explore the concept of percents, ratios, and proportions. In this percents, ratios, and proportion lesson, 7th graders have 237 ounces of beads to weigh. Students work in groups to weigh the beads in a way so that each...
Curated OER
Strong as Newspaper
Students explore architecture. In this science instructional activity, students build a structure from newspaper. Students place weight on the structure to measure how strong the structure is.
Curated OER
How Do I Measure Up?
Students measure and record weights and heights and compare to others in the class as they find out more about their bodies.
Curated OER
Classification is Sweet
Pupils classify, weight and organize items during this lesson. This lesson works great as or with an introduction of the Periodic Table of Elements.
Curated OER
By The Pound
Students develop mathematical skills using measurement in the form of weight. They also perform calculations to find cost and strengthen estimation skills while comparing the actual price. The context for the instructional activity is in...
Curated OER
Bridge Design and Bridge Building
Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...
Curated OER
Mass
Students determine how mass is a property of an object that can be measured, and examine how size affects mass. They work with balances and determine what units of measurement are associated with mass. Finally, they determine the...
Curated OER
Games with a Large Parachute
Students control the parachutes using arm movements. They follow directions while participating in games. They explore the effects of wind on several objects and study the effects of shape, size and weight on a parachute.
Curated OER
Parachutes
Students control the parachutes using arm movements. They follow directions while participating in games. Students explore the effects of wind on several objects. They study the effects of shape, size and weight on a parachute.
Curated OER
Uses of Minerals
In this minerals instructional activity, students read an excerpt about gold and then respond to the questions that follow. They explain how the weight of gold affected the history of some western states and why gold is expensive.
Curated OER
Momentum
Pupils explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". In this physics lesson, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Pupils on roller blades and model cars of different weights are...
