If The Career Fits, Explore It!
Seventh graders are introduced to the Interest Inventory worksheet. Individually, they complete the inventory to determine the best career for them based on their characteristics. To end the instructional activity, they are shown their...
Curated OER
Radiation: To Worry or Not to Worry
Students distinguish safe forms of radiation from those that are dangerous. Students watch a video about sources of radiation encountered every day. Students estimate their own annual radiation exposure.
Curated OER
The Periodic Table of the Elements
Students investigate the origin of the modern periodic table of elements, and explore an interactive version that teaches them how to extract information from it.

Curated OER
Energy Production
Students examine the role of energy in our daily lives, and how energy is produced. Students discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each energy resource, and the controversy surrounding the use of nuclear energy.
Curated OER
DNA and Protein Synthesis in the Cell
Pupils explore how DNA fits into chromosomes and how chromosomes relate to the human body. Students learn about DNA replication and protein synthesis and model these two processes.
Curated OER
DNA and Protein Synthesis in the Cell
Students explore how DNA fits into chromosomes and how chromosomes relate to the human body. They learn about DNA replication and protein synthesis and model these two processes in Web activities.
Curated OER
Tension and Compression
Students experience the forces of tension and compression by manipulating objects that are strong in each but not in both. Students construct a simple model of a beam bridge.
