Curated OER
Metric Olympic Games
Students participate in a metric Olympics. For this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.
Curated OER
Density and Buoyancy Lesson Plan
High schoolers 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.
Curated OER
Water Displacement
Pupils formulate a hypothesis using critical thinking skills. They use an orange to examine the displacement of water as the orange sinks or floats.
Curated OER
Subtracting Whole Numbers and Decimals
In this math worksheet, students learn to subtract whole numbers and decimals. Students are given step by step directions on how to solve one sample problem, then complete 5 examples on their own. Example: 6.57 - 3.28. There is...
Curated OER
Graphical Determination of Density
Learners determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.
Curated OER
What Floats Your Boat?
Students discover the Archimedes principle through a buoyancy experiment. They measure the water displacement of a lump a clay which is denser than water then reshape the clay into a bowl which floats but displaces more water.
Curated OER
Mud Pies
Students determine how fractions relate to whole numbers. They determine the relationship among different fractions and order fractions from least to greatest. They
determine how the viscosity of mud can be varied to affect its...
