Curated OER
The Path of the Sun: The Ecliptic
High schoolers investigate the celestial sphere and the paths it takes in the solar system.
Curated OER
Finding the Pole Star
Students study the constellations fo the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia and their use in finding the Pole Star. They realize that other celestial objects--Sun, Moon and planets--share the rotation (and hence rise and set), even though their...
Curated OER
Clean Air
Students observe gas molecules in the atmosphere absorbing the light that goes through them.
Curated OER
Water in the Air
Students simulate how clouds block radition and how water in the air condense around containers.
Curated OER
Particulate Sampler
Students estimate the extent of particulate air pollution present in their neighborhoods.
Curated OER
Heat Currents
Students using a slide made out of aluminum foil and pin holes observe visible light.
Curated OER
Simple Spectroscope
Students make a spectroscope out of simple materials and are expected to view as many different light sources as possible to see the whole spectrum.
Curated OER
Projecting Spectra
Students use two methods to show and study the colors in the visible spectrum.
Curated OER
Analytical Spectroscope
Students using a spectroscope view different substances when heated with electricity.
Curated OER
Water Prism
Students using a glass prism filled with water are able to see all of the visible colors found the sunlight.
Curated OER
Wavelength and Energy
Students using a rope and other materials explore wavelengths and frequency. If time permits, more experiments can be tried.
Curated OER
Collecting Electromagnetic Radiation
Students using different experiments and activities explore electromagnetic radiation and the effect on the Earth.
Curated OER
Pinhole Viewer
Students make a pinhole viewer to demonstrate how it inverts light passing through it which produces inverted images.
Curated OER
Build Your Own Telescope
Students build a simple astronomical telescope from two lenses and some tubes.
Curated OER
Lenses and Mirrors
Learners investigate lenses and mirrors showing how they bend and reflect light waves.
Curated OER
Color Recognition
Students envision how space observatories make use of monochromatic filters to collect data on the color of objects in space. They see the actual colors of objects when they are in monochromatic light.
Curated OER
Persistence of Vision Tube
Students demonstrate how individual pieces of data combine to produce complete images.
Curated OER
Binary Numbers
Students explore how a battery-powered light box demonstrates how to transmi timages.
Curated OER
Colored Shadows
Sixth graders explore how three colored lights can be combined to produce a wide range of colors.
Curated OER
Probes to Other Planets
Sixth graders use a list of robot components and common household items to design and construct a robot spacecraft model suitable for exploring the Saturn System. They present the robots to the class.
Curated OER
Stellar Lunar Curriculum
Students engage in a lesson about the moon and three different constellations. They conduct research using a variety of resources. The teacher leads the class with demonstrations and discussion groups. The research is also guided using...
Curated OER
Are We Alone
Seventh graders collect/analyze data and draw conclusions; support reasoning by using a variety of evidence; construct logical arguments; access information at remote sites using telecommunications; apply the concept of percent;...
Curated OER
Exploring the Planets
Students research a planet and write a research report about a planet they choose. They import a graphic and add Word Art. They type a paragraph with a topic sentence and at least 3 supporting sentences using a word processing program.
Curated OER
Make a Spaceship
Students create a spaceship, satellite, or space station. In this space lesson, students consider design elements for buildings and objects in space. Students use K'Nex, Legos, or other household materials for their creation. Students...
