Curated OER
Ocean Botttom Profile
Students interpret a graph of ocean depths and topographic features. This task assesses students' abilities to interpret figures, organize and represent data, apply knowledge of scale to a profile, and apply theoretical knowledge.
Curated OER
Fahrenheit vs Celsius
Students construct a thermometer and convert Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius temperature. In small groups, they construct a thermometer, write a paragraph describing how to make a thermometer, and convert temperatures.
Curated OER
Forces and Motion
In this forces learning exercise, students explain how a car's motion is affected by different forces. This learning exercise has 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Visual Opacity
Students research and create a slide show in order to classify clouds as transparent, translucent, or opaque.
Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Students view a demonstration that simulates cloud formation. They read a poem about clouds, participate in a class demonstration using warm water and ice and write a paragraph summarizing their observations.
Curated OER
BOUNCING INFORMATION AROUND
Students examine how satellite signals are sent and duplicate it with a mirror, flashlight and black paper.
Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Learners explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.
Curated OER
Warm and Cold Air
Students examine what happens to air when it is heated or cooled. They conduct an experiment using bottles and balloons, record and discuss their observations, and write a hypothesis.
Curated OER
Life in a Cup
Third graders make and maintain a mini terrarium. They keep a daily journal of what happens in their terrarium and record daily observations and measurements.
Curated OER
Hurricane Scavenger Hunt
Fourth graders use Internet and/or library resources to locate and record information about hurricanes on a worksheet..
Curated OER
What is a Cloud
Third graders study clouds and how they are formed. They write acrostic poems about clouds and analyze and graph temperature data collected during varying degrees of cloud cover.
Curated OER
Patterns
Fifth graders explore patterns. In groups, 5th graders participate in a "Pasta Pattern" activity. Given a bag of pasta, classmates sort pasta by shapes. They use pasta pieces to model different patterns. Students complete a bean...
Curated OER
Algebra, Multiplication, and Division of Fractions
Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.
Curated OER
Cloud Databases
Students complete a unit on clouds and a report about one type of cloud. They collect data through observation about different types of cloud cover and then create a spreadsheet to reflect their observations over a 2 week period.
Curated OER
Oxygen vs. Air Pressure
Students conduct an experiment to determine if water level is affected by a change in oxygen level or air pressure.
