Curated OER
Worksheet 35 - Fall 1995
In this math worksheet, students sketch the graphs labeling the point of intersection in the first quadrant. Then they find the area of Ω.
Curated OER
Fitting a Line to Data
Students work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the equation to...

Estimating the Live Mass of Dinosaurs
Pupils calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Could a World of Swimmers Raise Sea Level?
Students determine the volume of water they displace. In this earth science lesson, students calculate the total water displaced by the world's population. They evaluate whether or not this value is enough to raise the sea level...
Curated OER
Everybody Needs a Rock
Students describe and classify rocks that they have chosen. They estimate and find the mass of their rocks.
Curated OER
States of Matter
Properties in measurement, pressure and viscosity of solids, liquids, and gases are the main topics covered in this slideshow. The explanations of Pascal's, Bernoulli's, and the Venturi effects are very clear. Easy to understand diagrams...
Curated OER
Buoyant Force
Students illustrate Archimedes' Principle of Buoyant Force. In this graphing lesson, students will observe that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Students will then create a graph showing...
Curated OER
Everybody Needs a Rock
Here is a lesson that rocks! Young scientists choose a rock and list words that describe it. They estimate the mass of their rocks and rank them within a group. They measure their rocks for volume and write a story that somehow includes...
Curated OER
Numerical Analysis: Introduction to Root Finding
For this introduction to root finding worksheet, students write equations to solve distance problems. They explore the bisection method of Bolzano. This four-page worksheet contains approximately ten problems.
Curated OER
Cardboard Boat Challenge
Young scholars build a boat out of cardboard and tape. They apply Archimedes' Principle to their design.
Curated OER
Bathtub Physics - Density, Buoyancy and Flotation
Students study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.
Curated OER
Density in Relation to Float and Sink
Students explore the concept of density. In this density lesson, students determine the density of various objects. Students use the density of the various objects to predict the density of various unknown solutions.
Curated OER
Discovering Density
Students explore the physical properties of density. In this hands-on instructional activity, students calculate density and distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.
Curated OER
Boat Design
Students build a boat and make predictions. In this geometry lesson plan, students design a cargo boat. They must show that the boat they designed can carry the cargo.
Curated OER
Everybody Needs a Rock
Students, after making quantitative and qualitative observations of their rocks, construct a Venn diagram or dichotomous key to classify their rocks.
Curated OER
Lung Limit
Students determine their lung capacity by completing a science experiment with a bottle of water. In this lung science activity, students discuss the lungs' purpose. Students complete an experiment to determine their lung capacity using...
Curated OER
Estimating the Live Mass of Dinosaurs
Learners estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Learners compare the...
Curated OER
Types of Reactions (Demonstration)
Students visually observe chemical changes that occur when various solutions are combined. Teacher explains chemical reactions that are happening.
K5 Learning
Why Does the Ocean have Waves?
Six short answer questions challenge scholars to show what they know after reading an informational text that examines waves—what they are, what causes them, and how different Earth factors affect their size and strength.
Curated OER
Egg Measurement
Students explore measurement and units. They measure eggs to determine their density, mass and percent composition. An inquiry approach is used for students to ascertain the mass.
Curated OER
Densities
Students explore the concept of density. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of a crown and a sample of clay. They hypothesize about the densities of 4 liquids they are given including molasses, cooking oil, a red...
