The Dual Nature of the Electron
Why don't atoms collapse? Scientists debated this concept for years before they understood the dual nature of the electron. Presentation discusses the electron as both a particle and an energy wave. It also relates these concepts to the...
Curated OER
Stable and Unstable Structures
Middle schoolers consider ways to create stable bridges. In this bridge design lesson, students view pictures of bridges that have collapsed. They use the information to work in small groups creating a blueprint for a bridge of their...

Chemistry: The Collapsing Can
Students observe methods by which air can crush aluminum cans. As water in the can boils and is sealed, the can collapses as it cools. When the procedure is reversed, the can expands to its original shape. After the alternate experiment,...
Moanalua Gardens Foundation
The Mystery of Rapa Nui
What caused the collapse of the environment on Rapa Nui (Easter Island)? Who constructed the Moai? What was their purpose? Class members assume the role of investigators and use evidence drawn from field studies, ships' logs, and...

What happens When Air is Heated or Cooled?
In this pressure worksheet, learners write down their observations of a can placed into hot water. They explain what happens to the air molecules and the pressure inside the bottle which causes it to collapse.
Curated OER
What Happens When Air is Heater or Cooled?
In this air pressure worksheet, students use a can to demonstrate how air pressure collapses a can when placed in hot water.

Solar System
In this space science worksheet, students complete each statement with the correct word or phrase related to the solar system. Then they locate each of the planets in a word search that follows.
Curated OER
Can or Bottle Crusher (Demonstration)
Students witness the gas law from a demonstration in which a can collapses after the steam escapes. The steam pushes out most of the air from inside the can and then the air outside presses against the can crushing it.

Activity #5 'Empty' Bag?
Students review that air is a form of matter. They investigate how air takes up space. Pupils comprehend that they cannot see air, it takes up space and has mass, therefore it is a form of matter. Students investigate how to show that...
Curated OER
Gold Mine
Students view and discuss a demonstration of how gold is mined and panned. They design and create a tunnel that has reinforcements to withstand collapse.
Curated OER
Look At Those Leaves!
Students collect, observe, sort, and measure leaves. For this leaf lesson, students take a walk to collect leaves. They bring the leaves back into the classroom to observe, sort, and measure them. They visit a website to learn more about...
