Curated OER
Chromatography
Students research types of chromatography and complete chromatography experiments.
Curated OER
Plant Nutrition and Nutrients
Students observe seeds growth and examine the different parts of the seedling. In this biology lesson, students compare the growth of seeds planted in soil and in hydroponics. They record their observations in their science journal and...
Curated OER
Worm Compost & Vermicomposting
Students explore vermicomposting, the species of worms needed and the proper climate for it. In this composting lesson students make their own worm compost bin.
Curated OER
Fish and Oxygen
Students explore what factors affect population dynamics, identify factors affecting fish populations, and use Stella to model how dissolved oxygen affects fish populations.
Curated OER
How Much Energy Does the Earth Receive from the Sun?
Students explore energy. In this science lesson plan, students conduct an experiment in which they measure how much energy is produced by the sun. Students build a calorimeter to measure the amount of energy.
Curated OER
Physical and Chemical Changes
Young scholars examine the different changes in matter. In this chemical change lesson plan students determine the amount of reactant made in a reaction using the law of conservation.
Curated OER
Through Thick or Thin!!!
Young scholars differentiate between high and low viscosity. Students collect, graph, and interpret data, then quantitatively measure polymer solids. Young scholars experiment with a household example of an emulsion polymer.
Curated OER
Photosynthesis
In this photosynthesis worksheet, students follow the steps to complete a science investigation and then respond to 8 short answer questions regarding the photosynthesis investigation.
Curated OER
Antigens
Students examine antigens including ones found in humans. For this immune lesson students complete several experiments in relation to antigens and antibodies.
Curated OER
Micro-Magic With Sticky Ions
Students view a video about the formation of precipitates. They complete a worksheet that asks them to identify what makes a compound form and what holds it together.
Curated OER
Selecting Soil Organisms in Compost
Students conduct an experiment to demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down society's wastes exist in nature among the decomposers in a compost pile. They culture compost bacteria on starch agar to examine the...
Curated OER
Selecting Soil Organisms in Compost
Students demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down--and therefore clean up-society's wastes already exist in nature among the decomposers. They select the best starch-munching organisms by altering the environment...
