Marine & Aquatic Habitats -- Journey of a Drop of Water Through a Watershed
Students discuss pollution and the steps in the hydrologic cycle. They follow a drop of water through a watershed simulation. They discover the components of a water cleaning system as well.
Curated OER
TE Activity: A Merry-Go-Round for Dirty Air
Students observe a simulation of a cyclone to examine a method of pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution. They examine how engineers develop technology to reduce air pollution and determine percentages for technology...
Curated OER
Forces on the Human Molecule
Students conduct several simple lab activities to explore the five fundamental load types that can act on structures: tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion. In this activity, students play the role of molecules in a beam...
Curated OER
Water Conservation
First graders participate in a simulation in which they discover the community has been using too much water. In groups, they research the various ways the water is being used and create a home survey. They show the water usage of the...
Curated OER
Weather Conditions
First graders participate in a simulation in which they discover the weather condtions for each day. In groups, they observe and share the weather conditions and the forecast for the day with the principal. They collect and compare the...
Curated OER
Investigating Erosion in an Outdoor Classroom
First graders observe the effects of erosion. They work in groups to simulate erosion in a streambed, participate in class discussion, read books about fossils and rocks and then go on a fossil hunt.
Curated OER
Landfills and the Potential for Groundwater Contamination
Students examine how a sanitary landfill is constructed, how it functions, and how waste and leachate affects the areas around the landfill. After a discussion about landfills and leachates, students construct a Sanitary Landfill Model...
Curated OER
Ace Explorer Space Mission
Learners participate in a software based game that simulates a space mission. They distinguish information that is relevant and disregard extraneous information. They sequence the notes they have taken to solve the space mission based on...
Curated OER
Sunshine Experiment
Students investigate how sunlight is used to help plants grow. They use different factors of artificial and natural sunlight in order to simulate the environment of Alaska. Students make observations and then write a report based upon...
Curated OER
All The News
Learners simulate newspaper critics in the topics of heat and temperature. They write a scientific critique of evidence and claims used in a newspaper article and research using KIE software. They write notes on the letter to the editor...
Curated OER
Energy Safety Tips
Learners explore hazards of both electricity and natural gas when they are not properly handled. Students investigate the real-world hazards electricity and natural gas present. They participate in a simulation that illustrates the flow...
Curated OER
White-Tailed Deer
Students investigate the importance of white-tailed deer and their impact on forest environments. They visit learning centers to simulate being a white-tailed deer and work in groups. After visiting a forest they share their information...
Curated OER
Making a Brain: Aritifical Neural Network
Students explore how the brain works. For this nervous system lesson, students create a network of "neurons" to simulate how the nervous system and the brain work together.
Curated OER
Water Above the Ground
Students create a river drainage basin using a plastic tub, sand and a pitcher of water. They simulate the flow of water through the basin then add chocolate syrup to model what would happen if stormwater pollution entered the basin.
Curated OER
Investigating How Pollutants Travel Through Groundwater
Young scholars determine how pollutants can travel though sediment and explore methods of pollutant removal. They conduct an experiment on porosity and permeability of soils and simulate an EPA "pump and treat" method for removing...
Curated OER
Science: Down Home Dinosaurs
students participate in hands-on activities to discover the different types of fossils. Using teacher-provided materials, they make models of cast and trace fossils. After writing essays describing how traces are formed, students plan a...
