Students conduct oral histories about water in their community. They interview community members, create a class oral history journal, and record their findings on a school website, in the school or public library, or in another...

Students listen as the teacher differentiates between natural and people-made items. They go outside and make lists of natural and people-made things they see. Students complete the linked worksheet by cutting and pasting as suggested by...

Learners read "The Eiserloh Story" and evaluate decisions made by the government in time of war. They determine if the government violated the rights of innocent civilians. They identify the Bill of Rights and analyze each Right.

This site has links to many NASA resources about the Gemini program. Detailed information on Gemini missions and many images are available from this site.

This chemistry science fair project uses a very simple experimental setup - a battery hooked up to two solutions, connected by a salt bridge - to explore some complex chemistry. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently...

This Science Buddies project asks that you identify different kinds of bridges, discover why they are built as they are, and then build three different bridges of your own out of balsa wood. See which one you think can bear the heaviest...

Find out the different strengths of two types of bridges, beam and suspension, by building your own. This Science Buddies science project gives you the means to find out. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently...

Building a bridge in San Francisco has to take into account the possibilites of earthquakes. This Science Buddies science project asks that you use different virtual bridge designs to withstand virtual earthquakes. The Science Buddies...

This is an interesting project that explores which geometrical shapes make the strongest bridge truss structures. It is a good introduction to the engineering design process. You'll design three different trusses, and use online...

In this two-period lesson, students work in teams to focus on the real-world application of bridge design and construction based on capacity, cost, and aesthetics.

Bridge, the Ocean Sciences Education Teacher Resource Center, is a growing collection of on-line marine education resources. It provides educators with accurate, useful, content-correct and content-current marine and data information on...

If you've ever wondered how tall that bridge is, or how high your kite was, then this could be a good project for you. You'll learn how you can use the mathematics of right triangles to measure the height of an object with two...

Find out what makes a bridge strong in this fun activity as you build simple bridges with paper and test to see how much weight they can hold.

The Song dynasty was the second great "medieval" period of China. Northern Song (while it lasted) and the Southern Song (from 1127 until 1279) achieved incredible feats of learning, science, art, and philosophy. International trade and...

Instructions on how to build an instrument that can be used to test which materials are conductors and which are insulators, in order to bridge a gap in an electrical circuit.

This resource presents information about the mathematical model of forces on bridges. Examples of a classroom activity are provided. The resource also involves using matrices to solve systems of equations.

Students learn how forces are used in the creation of art. They come to understand that it is not just bridge and airplane designers who are concerned about how forces interact with objects, but artists as well.

This lesson should be used within a service learning project to bridge three fundamental categories: community service, personal growth and course content.

Explains what an LCR meter is and how it is used to measure the inductance, capacitance, and resistance of a circuit. Lists the different parameters of a circuit that it measures, describes two types of LCR meters, and gives definitions...

The digital revival of the glass plate images of the Russian Empire on the eve of World War I by photographer Sergei Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorskii. Very interesting from both historical and technological points of view.

Why do some crowds turn to madness and other crowds turn to wisdom? Network science seeks to explain groupthink with its core idea being we should not study the individual people, but their connections. Use this interactive site to...

A biography James Buchanan Eads (1820-1887) and the story of his attempts to tame the mighty Mississippi River with science and technology during and after the Civil War.

Learn about Kentucky's state symbols and their official state places and events. In most cases you can click on the word to see a picture and find more information about the symbol, place, or event.

Learn how engineers use science to prevent buildings and bridges from collapsing during an earthquake.
