Curated OER
Organs to Go...
Students explain the principles of experimental design and reinforce the steps of the scientific method. Each group of students create a "slush" type mixture to store a chicken liver.
Curated OER
Present Hunt
In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.
Curated OER
Barrels, Casks and other Curvy Containers: Math, Geomety, Art
Students construct a barrel or other curvy container and then estimate and gauge its volume.
Curated OER
Flower Pigments
Pupils experiment with Thin Layer Chromatography to separate pigments found in flower petals.
Curated OER
Separation Before Plastic Recycling
Students participate in a demonstration to test the different densities of plastics, and suggest a method that plastic waste can be separated and collected.
Curated OER
A Very Simple Conductivity Meter
Learners conduct a simple conductivity meter to test the ionic or non-ionic nature of water samples including one from their home.
Curated OER
What Does Greatest Common Factor Mean to Me?
Learners see a demonstration of the concept of factors through modeling. They do an activity that help them explain further the concept of common factors and greatest common factor.
Curated OER
Efficiency Means Getting More for Less
Middle schoolers measure water and make predictions about efficiency.
Curated OER
Density of Glass Fragments
Students explore how the density of an object is determined and determine what a "physical property" is. They demonstrate how science can be applied to police work.
Curated OER
Determining Mercantile Volume of a Pine Tree
Fourth graders, acting as foresters, determine timber volumes as sawtimber or pulpwood for marketing. They find the marketable value of a tree using its diameter and volume.
Curated OER
Listen to a Shape
First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.
Curated OER
Million Dollar Gift
Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.
Curated OER
Year Book Page Special Shape Collage
Students design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.
Curated OER
Pinhole Viewer
Learners make a pinhole viewer to demonstrate how it inverts light passing through it which produces inverted images.
Curated OER
Using Transistors: Let's Get Transistorized!
Students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. This activity allow them to observe the operation of a transistor as an amplifier.
Curated OER
Ambush Warriors
Students identify four different categories of reptiles and explain how snakes deliver their venom to their prey.
Curated OER
Making a Mace
Young scholars make a mace as a symbol of the legislatures authority to make laws.
Curated OER
Strategies to Overcome Gender Bias in the Machine Shop: Knurling
Learners participate in putting a straight knurl on a piece of steel.
Curated OER
Designing a Flotation Strategy for the Purification of Recycling
Twelfth graders work in teams to design a method of recycled plastics purification by flotation. They base their design on the concept that different kinds of plastics have different densities and keep overall costs and purification time...
Curated OER
Fertilizer Frenzy
Young scholars design and conduct an experiment testing the effect of fertilizers/soaps on algal growth. They estimate and predict, identify the variables, formulate a hypothesis, and record and analyze the data, presenting their...
Curated OER
Organic Matter in Soils
Students examine soil samples for the presence of organic matter. They determine which soil sample from their area contains the highest amount of organic matter.
Curated OER
Icebergs Ahead!
Young scholars experiment with density of ice, and examine how density affects how icebergs float in water.
Curated OER
Is There Really Life on Mars?
Students examine the work of scientists and determine how they test their theories.
