Density Workbook
It's all about density! Here's a dense workbook for young scientists; they solve (and show work for) 29 density word problems, including a problem where they solve for the density of Godzilla. They complete labs analyzing metal cubes,...

Let's Make a Compost Cake
Students create a compost cake. In this gardening and decomposition science lesson, students review and describe the "nutrient cycle." Students create a compost pile, measure and record the dimensions and temperature of the pile, and...

Promoting Inquiry Throught Computer-Based Labs
Student Teachers are given the opportunity to examine how to use a computer-based laboratory for inquiry. The practice is done to teach future teachers how to use these tools so they can be ready for use in the classroom environment.

Water Pressure - Observing Water Flow
Pupils discover that pressure increases the deeper the ocean becomes. They determine how water pressure differs at various depths by observing water flow.

Consistent Circles
Students create a design of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students identify the measure of the diameter and radius of a circle. They graph and analyze their collected data and write equations based on direct variation.
Curated OER
Growing Circles
Students identify the equation to represent a circle. For this algebra lesson, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the real world.

Estimating the Live Mass of Dinosaurs
Pupils calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.
