In this algebra instructional activity, 11th graders rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They relate parabolas to the real world and calculate the breaking distance using the distance formula they come up with. There is answer...

Student create a numerical model which integrates Schrodinger's equation in 1 dimension. They discuss the properties of the solutions which match the boundary conditions. Student discusss any limitations if there are any in there model.

Tenth graders should know how sound is produced and state some properties of sound.

Fifth graders sit in their seats with the lights on and then the teacher turns off the lights. After their eyes have adjusted, they vote on what colors of construction paper are being held up. The lights are then turned back on and...

Sixth graders understand properties and behavior of heat, light, and sound. They describe the production of sound in terms of vibration of objects that create vibrations in other materials. Students describe how sound is made from...

Students engage in a lesson to investigate some of the properties of sound. They create sounds and listen to the vibrations that are made while listing all the sounds that are heard. This is done while the eyes are closed to strengthen...

What an exciting lab experiment to conduct with your high school chemistry class! Crystals are formed naturally in the environment. However, allow your blossoming chemists to create their own unique crystals using alum and...

Young scholars study the basic structure of the atom. In this chemistry lesson, students explain how colors relate to energy that electrons emit. They calculate energy of the emitted photons.

Students explore tsunami through various hands-on activities. In this earth science lesson, students explain how they are formed. They create tsunami and earthquake models in the lab to observe how they are generated.

Students predict the safest seashore substrate for animals. In this animal habitat experiment, students predict, test their hypothesis, and record data about how wave shocks affect animals living on either sand, gravel or rock. 

Fourth graders investigate the causes of erosion. Through several demonstrations including one using sugar cubes and warm water, they observe the effects of erosion. In groups, 4th graders conduct similar experiments and record their...

Students investigate tides and create a model of an intertidal zone. In this hands-on marine science lesson based on a Magic School Bus book, the teacher leads students in a discussion about tides, then helps students model a tide and...

Students identify trigonometric functions. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students add and subtract trigonometric functions. They add sine and cosine waves and relate it to the real world.

Sixth graders experiment with mixtures. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders determine which mixtures are considered heterogeneous, a suspension, a solution or a colloid. Students create a data sheet of what they discover.

Students study hearing and are able to differentiate between different sound waves.  In this sound wave activity students develop a cause and effect model that shows the parts of the ear. 

Students use physics to discuss diversity. In this social interaction lesson, students use their knowledge of colors and filters to relate it to stereotyping and prejudices.

Students identify different color models and the application of the color theory. They create different visualizations that compare color models.

Students make predictions about how sound is formed. They view and discuss a video that explores sound formation and attempt to identify the origin of different sounds.

Students complete activities that lead to greater understanding of the variety of natural disasters that occur all over the world.

Students study plate tectonics.  In this plate tectonics lesson students build a cutaway scale model of the Earth. 

Learners identify the ratios of trig identities. In this geometry lesson, students solve the missing sides and angles of triangles using trig ratios. They relate the graphs and waves to real life scenarios.

Fifth graders investigate the relation between vibrations and pitch. They observe and discuss an experiment involving a bicycle and a piece of cardboard in the spokes, listen to a comb with cardboard, and listen to various sounds and...

Students investigate what is wrong with the Rutherford atomic model. In this chemistry lesson, students answer questions about the atomic model after watching a video. They draw conclusions from the video and discuss how the atomic model...

Students connect photographic images with the literary texts of Eudora Welty and William Faulkner. They identify and distinguish narrators and protagonists of literary works. Students recognize patterns of social class as a literary...
