Developing Soundproofing Materials
Eighth graders investigate the acoustic properties of materials in order to develop soundproofing products. In this soundproofing lesson students research different resources, design and perform experiments and fabricate, test and...
Curated OER
The Working of Scientists
Students define and explain the basic concepts of experimental design. In this scientific method lesson students complete a hands on activity, develop and present proposals to test their explanations.
Curated OER
Keep It Cool
Students complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study lesson, students design and test a soda insulator. Students graph their class data and discuss the results. Students...

Starch is Everywhere
In this science activity, students add a few drops of iodine solution to each of 10 substances to determine if they contain starch. The iodine will turn blue if the item contains starch.
Curated OER
Open-Ended Scientific Method Lab
Students inspect a given problem and come up with a hypothesis. In this investigative lesson students come up with a hypothesis for a problem, test each hypothesis and evaluate how successful each one was.
Curated OER
Perception is not Always Reality
Seventh graders explore explanations of natural illusions. In this perception lesson students solve a problem by applying the process of science.
