Students explore an estuarine system to gather data on density driven currents. This type of current is contrasted with temperature and wind driven currents.

Students visualize the relationship between acceleration and velocity as they maneuver a model spaceship in a 2-dimensional applet.

Students investigate the basic principles of air pressure.  In this experimental lesson students use materials to create several different experiments that help to explain air pressure and friction.

Students describe, compare, and contrast major forces that drive ocean currents. They discuss the general effects of topography on current velocity. They discuss how velocity affects the ability

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Students demonstrate an understanding of how simple machines work. They show how various forces affect movement and advantages of them. They also design a compund machine. Students decide which level of questions they want to do and...

Students simulate block and tackles to lift heavy objects. They lift cargo by hand with the whip and the two-fold purchase to simujlate what crew members do aboard ships. They measure the effort and distance pulled for a gun tackle, luff...

Pupils use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.

Students participate in an online lesson to reinforce the similarities and differences in plants and animals. They classify living things according to observable characteristics.

Students discover how inclined planes make work easier as they make mathematical predictions and prove their predictions through experiments.

Students place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different beakers...

Students participate in an online lesson to explain how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer in a series circuit by changing the number or type of components.

Learners predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

Students work with a partner to brainstorm a list of as many human body parts as possible. Using that list, they circle any one of those that are bones. They are shown a model of the human skeleton and practice locating various bones. ...

Students explore how a switch can be used to break a circut. Students construct a simple series circuit and use it for a purpose. Students read the "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch,or one of the "Katie Morag" stories which clearly shows...

Students feel and observe different types of materials. Using the internet, they sort objects based on the materials they are made from and justify their reasons for putting it in a certain category. They identify objects that could...

Students examine historic posters, jewelry, quilts and buttons that were created to protest or call attention to a political issue. After evaluating how these items were used to communicate a political message, students create an item...

Students examine six simple machines and investigate who Rube Goldberg is. They explore various websites, write an article, write ten interesting facts about Rube Goldberg, and design and construct a simple machine.

Students use an inclined plane to move a heavy load.

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.

Third graders study how heat is produced from mechanical and electrical machines and human activities.

For this physics worksheet, students complete short answer questions about physics concepts such as electricity, space, light, and more. Students complete 20 short answer questions.

Students examine ways for people to stay healthy, such as exercising and eating right.

Fifth graders construct a food web to illustrate how animals and plants are interdependent. In this interdependence lesson, 5th graders identify how consumers, producers, herbivores, carnivores and predators are related in a habitat....
