Curated OER
Clean Air
Students observe gas molecules in the atmosphere absorbing the light that goes through them.
Curated OER
Water in the Air
Students simulate how clouds block radition and how water in the air condense around containers.
Curated OER
Particulate Sampler
Students estimate the extent of particulate air pollution present in their neighborhoods.
Curated OER
Heat Currents
Students using a slide made out of aluminum foil and pin holes observe visible light.
Curated OER
Simple Spectroscope
Students make a spectroscope out of simple materials and are expected to view as many different light sources as possible to see the whole spectrum.
Curated OER
Projecting Spectra
Students use two methods to show and study the colors in the visible spectrum.
Curated OER
Analytical Spectroscope
Students using a spectroscope view different substances when heated with electricity.
Curated OER
Water Prism
Students using a glass prism filled with water are able to see all of the visible colors found the sunlight.
Curated OER
Wavelength and Energy
Pupils using a rope and other materials explore wavelengths and frequency. If time permits, more experiments can be tried.
Curated OER
Collecting Electromagnetic Radiation
Students using different experiments and activities explore electromagnetic radiation and the effect on the Earth.
Curated OER
Pinhole Viewer
Learners make a pinhole viewer to demonstrate how it inverts light passing through it which produces inverted images.
Curated OER
Build Your Own Telescope
Students build a simple astronomical telescope from two lenses and some tubes.
Curated OER
Light Gathering Power
Middle schoolers compare and calculate the light gathering power of lenses. They determine the ability of various lenses and mirrors to gather light.
Curated OER
Liquid Crystal IR Detector
Middle schoolers experiment with one method of detecting infrared radiation. They simulate the detection of infrared radiation using a liquid crystal sheet.
Curated OER
Lenses and Mirrors
Students investigate lenses and mirrors showing how they bend and reflect light waves.
Curated OER
Color Recognition
Young scholars envision how space observatories make use of monochromatic filters to collect data on the color of objects in space. They see the actual colors of objects when they are in monochromatic light.
Curated OER
Persistence of Vision Tube
Students demonstrate how individual pieces of data combine to produce complete images.
Curated OER
Binary Numbers
Middle schoolers explore how a battery-powered light box demonstrates how to transmi timages.
Curated OER
Colored Shadows
Sixth graders explore how three colored lights can be combined to produce a wide range of colors.
Curated OER
Football Physics "Having A Ball With Projectile Motion"
Students examine the concept of projectile motion and identify the 3 components of projectile motion. They explore how physics applies to punting a football through punting activities and internet research.
Curated OER
Celestial Reflections: See Yourself in the Sky!
Students create a mirror/mirror frame using glass mosaic tiles, grout, and various other mosaic supplies.
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.
Curated OER
Popcorn Neutrino Lab
Students parcticipate in a modeling activity that simulates the cyclical role of experimental and theoretical science. Initially, students measure the mass of popcorn. They also record predictions of the mass of the kernels after they...
Curated OER
Powers of 10
Students explore universe, and examine how big it really is and how scientists measure the distances or sizes of things by estimating sizes of different objects and reading and writing numbers in scientific notations.
