Alessandro Volta: The Invention of the Voltaic Pile (The First Electric Battery)
Students conduct a series of experiments on electricity. In this physics lesson, students study the work of Alessandro Volta particularly his experiment on the the Voltaic Pail. They build their own Voltaic Pile to recreate his experiment.
Curated OER
Laser
Eleventh graders explore the different steps in the engineering process. In this physics lesson, 11th graders design an experiment based on topic given. They prepare a presentation and share it with the class.

Sticky Engineering Challenge
Pupils explore the properties of different adhesives. In this physics lesson plan, students construct a building structure and determine what glue to use in the process. They present their design in class.
Curated OER
Mass vs. Weight
Students explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass lesson, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Students utilize electronic scales and...
Curated OER
Forming Groups
Learners create groups (teams) the way a teacher hopes they -- various different ideas are presented.
Curated OER
Team Marathon
Students develop cardiovascular fitness. They discover a safe level of pacing while running and add up their laps with the members of their team to get a "team total." That total is marked on the chart each day that they have P.E. class.
Curated OER
Physical Geography- Climate
Sixth graders explore different climates. In this compare and contrast lesson plan, 6th graders look at the differences in climates of America and Europe. Students use KWL charts and graphic organizers to record information about...
