Students research articles about science technology and society. In this science and technology lesson, students answer questions about an article they chose. They share what they learned with their peers.
Curated OER
Paper Suspension Bridges: You Want Me To Go Up There?
A few class periods will be required to complete this physics investigation with your high schoolers. There is an unavailable video written into the lesson plan, but there is plenty of material here to bridge the gap. Two terrific...
Curated OER
Modern Physics, New Phenomena
For this physics worksheet, students examine some of the historical theories of physics through the completion of 11 questions.
Curated OER
Catapults!
Pupils work together to discover the relationship between the angle of catapults and the flight of different objects. They discover the heavier the object the more force is needed. They examine how engineers use this information to...
Curated OER
Impact!!
Pupils perform a science experiment. In this algebra lesson, students collect data from their experiment and create a graph. They analyze the graph and draw conclusion.
Curated OER
It Won't Budge: Balloon
Eighth graders use the scientific method to discover why a balloon is not inflated.
Curated OER
Beyond Science?: New Energy Age
Pupils explore, examine, experiment and study the energy believed to exist in the vacuum of space called zero-point energy. They design and build a machine and then place their machines to test zero-pointed energy into a competition.
Curated OER
Computer Violence Debate
Students debate whether playing violent computer games desensitizes people to real-life violence.
