Young scholars practice calculating the moment of inertia when discussing a skater and the position in which it is best to spin. After class discussion, students practice calculating inertia on their own.

Students explore what happens to light intensity as depth increases using a light intensity logger. They construct a PVC model to hold water and identify what factors could influence the amount of light attenuation.

Students explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement lesson plan, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements.  Students cut...

Students apply their knowledge of relativity and nuclear radiation to the concept of cold fusion. They also read the article from the website listed in the related and resource websites and discuss the article with the class.

Students examine how nuclear reactions differ from other chemical reactions they have studied. They add up atomic masses of both the product and reactant side of an example of uranium decomposition, demonstrating mass loss involved.

Students use Robert Temple's "The Genius of Chins: 3,000 Years of Science, Discovery and Invention", to understand how much the Chinese have contributed with their scientific and technological ability.

Students examine places with a similar latitude to Alabama, and discuss the importance of a location's site versus its situation. They analyze maps, create a chart, and write a paragraph on the difference between site and situation.

Students view a video about the formation of precipitates. They complete a worksheet that asks them to identify what makes a compound form and what holds it together.

Students examine negative numbers by extending a vertical number line to include numbers less than zero. After playing a game, students watch a Cyberchase video in which the characters try to solve similar problems.

Students study the history of Chinese technology by identifying when and where items were invented or discovered.

First graders develop skills of scientific inquiry. They determine which objects float and which sink.
