Ions in the Environment
Students explain the importance of the five main biogeochemical cycles. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss how ions are transported in the environment. They design an experiment to collect data on eutrophication.
Curated OER
Where My Peeps At?
Students conduct a series of activity that demonstrates Charles' and Boyle's Law. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the relationship among pressure, volume and temperature. They solve problems using mathematical equation.

Teaching The Scientific Method Using Adhesives
Students use the six step scientific method to experiment with the differences in adhesives. Students test for tack, shear, and peel in these activities.
Curated OER
Separation Before Plastic Recycling
Students participate in a demonstration to test the different densities of plastics, and suggest a method that plastic waste can be separated and collected.
Curated OER
How Hot Is It?
Sixth graders use paper cups, black and white lining, thermometers and plastic wrap to conduct an experiment that measures the energy-collecting capacity of various colors. They graph the results.

Drums and Sound
Through discussion, demonstration, and observation of
performances by drum groups, students discover how vibrations
create sounds. Through exploration students can infer that when drums are struck they make noise due to vibrations.
