Volume of Irregular Objects
Fifth graders experiment using a Meniscus. In this volume lesson, 5th graders identify the volume of irregular objects using the process of water displacement. Students record data and draw conclusions.
Curated OER
Polygons
Fourth graders identify and describe lines, shapes, and solids using formal geometric language. They use Inspiration to create a graphic organizer and outline of polygons.

Radioactive Decay/Half Life
Learners demonstrate radioactive decay using candy corns. In this Physics lesson plan, students make predictions, collect data and form conclusions about patterns in radioactive decay.
Curated OER
Continuous Probability Distributions
Students practice continuous probability distributions. In this probability lesson, students calculate probability, use probability functions, and use rectangular distribution.
Curated OER
Handwriting and Forgery
Young scholars determine how forensics analyze handwriting samples. In this physical science instructional activity, students research how handwriting analyses help solve their assigned cases. They prepare a skit and present it in class.
