Curated OER
Calorimetry
High schoolers investigate calorimetry and set up equipment to measure calories. In this calorimetry lesson plan, students make a calorimeter and compare large amounts of heated water with small amounts to show the difference in...

Good Health
Students complete a unit with cross-curricular activities to learn about a healthy body and maintaining their health. In this health lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about good health, a healthy diet, healthy foods, healthy...
Curated OER
Work, Power, and Entropy
Students experience work and power and observe the process of entropy. In this physics lesson plan, students conduct an experiment that shows work (force & distance), power (work/time), and exemplifies the process of entropy.
Curated OER
Measuring and Comparing Weight and Capacity
First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.
Curated OER
Creating the Ideal Cargo Boat
Students build boats out of clay to test the buoyancy of the boat in water. Students break into pairs and construct their boat to specific guide lines, then experiment with their boat in the water.
Curated OER
Defining Density as a Relationship
Students discover that density is considered a property and that cutting an object in half does not affect its density. They examine the densities of many common substances and make connections.
Curated OER
Density and Buoyancy Lesson Plan
Young scholars investigate why some objects float or sink in water. In this physics lesson, students calculate the density of clay ball using a mathematical equation. They write a complete lab report about the experiment.
