Students assess fellow student's oral narrative tales. They discuss the attributes that marked the "best" narratives. They compose their own narrative tales and interview family members. They make a final speaking presentation to the...

High schoolers are asked to explain the relationship between f(s) and f (-x). They are asked to determine how the equation of f(x) differs from the equation of f(-x). Students determine the conditions when f(x) is the same as f(-x). They...

Students compare transformations of a quadratic function on a graph and determine equations of a quadratic functions based on a reflection. They graph a transformation of a function based on reflections. They etermine if a function is...

Students describe the science of physics. In this Physics lesson plan, students observe examples of physics within their classroom. Students create a definition for physics.

Students analyze the optical region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Students explore how a surface can be described without seeing it.

Middle schoolers are introduced to the electromagnetic spectrum through this group research activity. Each group investigates a different wavelength range within the em spectrum and reports back to class. Discussion ideas also included.

Students learn the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum and how various types of electromagnetic waves are related in terms of wavelength and energy. In addition, they are introduced to the various types of waves that make up the...

Here is a 1-5 day unit on electromagnetic radiation that features a teacher guide and student activities with extensions.

View the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation and get information on telescopes especially designed to view different wavelengths of the spectrum.
