Curated OER
Stress, Strain and Hooke's Law
Learners study Hooke's Law and stress-strain relationships. For this spring lesson students create a strain graph in Microsoft Excel.

Profess the Compress
Students determine the ground clearance of CEENBoTs by adding weights. In this physics lesson, students explore the compression and extension of different springs. They cite real world applications of Hooke's Law.

Investigation of Hooke's Law Lab
Young scholars determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics lesson, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find spring...

Skittles and Springs
Pupils experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.
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.

The Challenge Question
A research position becomes a modeling job. The introductory lesson in a series of nine presents the challenge of analyzing a set of bivariate data. The class brainstorms what the data may represent. Pupils must decide what is needed to...

How Does a Spring Scale Work?
Students create visuals of the effect of a spring scale. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the navigator to graph the effects created by a spring scale. They draw conclusion from the graph.
