Bounce Back Ball
Fifth graders work in teams of four to measure the rebound heights of a tennis ball dropped from four different heights. They investigate with the bouncing balls to measure changes in the type of energy they possess.
Curated OER
CAN'T TOUCH THIS!
Young scholars discover the best practical shielding material when dealing with radioactive substances. They draw conclusions based on availability of materials, price, and best shielding properties.
Curated OER
Apple Logic and Problem Solving
Young scholars examine apple production in the United States. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students use problem solving strategies introduced to solve math problems associated with apple production in the United States. Student...
Curated OER
Make Your Own "Weather" Map
Students create their own "weather" map using data from x-ray sources. They analyze and discuss why it is important to organize data in a fashion in which is easy to read. They compare and contrast different x-ray sources using a stellar...
Curated OER
Predator-Prey Simulation
Students simulate a predator-prey interaction in an ecosystem. Students use different size squares cut from paper to represent predators and prey. They simulate the interactions of the species by following instructions for the capture of...
Curated OER
The Effects of Light Intensity and Wavelength on the Rate of Photosynthesis
Students use an on line website to simulate the effects of light intensity and wavelength on photosynthesis. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students determine how wavelength of light and intensity of light affect the rate at which...
Curated OER
Virtual Field Trip
Students calculate gasoline cost per mile on a virtual field trip. They calculate the gasoline costs and travel time for each of the 2 routes, and record on a data sheet. They use Excel to create data tables for mileage, gasoline...
Curated OER
Hurricanes
Eighth graders gather information on hurricanes that are affecting the world at the time of the lesson. They work together in groups to collect the data and record their information in a table. They are asked questions to finish the lesson.
Curated OER
Temperature Comparisons
Students practice plotting temperature data points on a line graph in groups and examine the temperature differences at the same time of year. They graph the temperatures in Lannon, WI, and Mitchell's Plain, SA. After the data has been...
Curated OER
An Inventory of My Traits
Students take an inventory of their own easily-observable genetic traits and
compare those inventories with other students in groups. They then make
data tables and bar graphs showing the most and least common traits in their group.
Curated OER
Scavenger Hunt
Pupils collect data about lighting conditions around a room using a light sensor and RCX. They use software to upload and analyze the data in order to draw conclusions about light intensity in the room.
Curated OER
Teaching about Diel Temperature Variation
Students explore temperature variation in lakes and deal with the data.
Curated OER
Ohio Census 1990 & 2000
Students use Ohio census data to solve problems, make comparisons, draw conclusions, and support predictions related to Ohio's population. They interpret and work with pictures, numbers and symbolic information.
Curated OER
Glacial Change
Students research the ways in which scientists study glaciers and glacial change. They interpret real time data and calculate the estimated global sea level rise potential. A very good lesson to illustrate global warming.
Curated OER
Water Flow Through Local Soils
Students examine the relationship between particle size and rate of water flow through soil. They collect soil samples, make predictions, conduct a water flow experiment, analyze the data, and answer conclusion questions.
Curated OER
Inclined Plane and Pulley
Students describe how inclined plane and pulleys make work easier. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate work done and mechanical advantage of both simple machines. They collect data from the experiment and construct graphs.
