Mapping the Effects of War
Students examine how war can lead to environmental health crises. They read an article, conduct research on a region from the article, and create a poster to depict the geographic region and the environmental health effects of the conflict.
Curated OER
Vector Manipulation Unit
Students are introduced to the concept/idea of a vector, what it represents and why they are used. They develop an understanding of what vectors are, how and why they are used.
Curated OER
Electromagnetic Wave Spectrum
Fifth graders examine electromagnetic wave spectrum. In this science instructional activity, 5th graders discuss the aspects of the electromagnetic wave spectrum and complete a worksheet identifying the parts of the spectrum.
Curated OER
Egg Measurement
Pupils explore measurement and units. They measure eggs to determine their density, mass and percent composition. An inquiry approach is used for students to ascertain the mass.

Most Troublesome Exotic Invasive Plant Species Web Quest
Students participate in a Web Quest activity in which they identify common exotic invasive plant species of the Southern Appalachian Region. After identifying the top 10 exotic invasive species, they choose one to research in depth.
Curated OER
Atoms, Kinetic Theory, Solids and Fluids
Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.
Curated OER
Metric Mania
Pupils observe how to measure in metric units. In this investigative lesson students compare different units of volume to see how things are measured.
Curated OER
It's A Gas
Students build an organic waste methane generator and learn by running a scientific experiment to see what happens when people alter nature's way of recycling.
