Curated OER
November Science
Students review that all people, plants, and animals live on Earth. They classify objects found in the environment as living or nonliving.
Curated OER
Animals and Their Needs
Students identify the characteristics of living things and examine objects to see if they are living. They identify the needs of living things, in particular of animals and animal babies. They discuss how to care for pets.
Curated OER
MAGNETISM
Students infer that there are forces we cannot see that act upon objects, experiment with magnets to show a push and/or pull force, and participate in a magnet game.
Curated OER
Polymer Physics on the Playground
Students investigate what materials allow them to slide down a slide the fastest. They set up test procedures and carry out an experiment.
Curated OER
H2O in Us
Young scholars discover through this activity that all organisms are composed of water. They find that 70 percent of their bodies are made up of water that is in thier cells and blood, and not free-flowing throughout their body.
Curated OER
Pumps
Students examine the basic types of pumps. They build a gravity-driven water pump and solve a mystery using their knowledge of pressures and pumps.
Curated OER
Global Water Cycle & Heat Flow
Students experiment to discover how different variables affect the water cycle. They do hat flow experiments and construct a computer heat flow model.
Curated OER
Into the Pond
Seventh graders use a pond to explore macroinvertebrates and other organisms. They use a dichotomous key to classify the organisms and maintain a journal recording their findings.
Curated OER
Creating slideshow using Real Slideshow 2.0.
students gather information during field trip to the zoo. They use and present their findings of the types of birds, cats, primates, and other mammals to their teachers and classmates by producing a slide show using Real Slide Show 2.0.
Curated OER
Bat's a Fact
Second graders investigate the truths and misconceptions associated with bats. By illustrating the characteristics and uniqueness of these often feared and misunderstood creatures, 2nd graders increase their awareness of these nocturnal...
Curated OER
and and Ocean Views of Earth by Remote Sensing
Students explain how satellites help scientists to see more than with the unaided eye and how Landsat technology works. Students identify vegetation and fire sites in the rainforest and detect erosion along rivers. They are able to use...
Curated OER
Sleuth Rays
Learners conduct a close examination of the atom's electrons, and discover how to theorize the energy levels, observe the brightness of light, classify colors, and measure temperature.
Curated OER
Simple Harmonic Motion
Students study harmonic motion and its oscillation. In this simple harmonic motion instructional activity students demonstrate a series of regular oscillations and explain the theory behind the experiment.
Alabama Learning Exchange
Writing Word Equations
Students explore the concept of chemical formulas. For this chemical formula lesson, students watch a video about balancing chemical equations. Students conduct an experiment using silver nitrate and sodium phosphate. Students use...
Curated OER
CD Slide
Students identify the different types of friction. In this physics lesson, students explain how weight affects friction. They calculate normal force and coefficient of friction using a mathematical formula.
