Students view a video that presents the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen. They compare types of soils and consider how different fertilizers affect soil composition.
Curated OER
There's Always Room For Jell-O
Students explore the breakdown of proteins. They cut wells in Jell-O and observe as the detergent digests the Jell-O. Students record their observations and take measurements.
Curated OER
Breathing Victory
Pupils discuss anaerobic respiration and how it relates to sprinting. After discussion of related processes, students create a brochure that explains the complex processes behind every muscular interaction.
Curated OER
Sea State
High schoolers explain the process of wave formation and analyze the relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere. In this oceans lesson students use buoys to cast real time sea state conditions.
Curated OER
Corrosion & Rust
Students examine how and when rust and corrosion occur. In this corrosion instructional activity students complete an experiment to see why metals rust.
Curated OER
How Diverse is That?
Students study the concepts of "variety" and "relative abundance" as they relate to biological diversity. In this life science lesson students calculate numbers that describe the biological diversity in certain communities.
Curated OER
What's the Big Deal?
Students define terms and describe where they are found and formed. In this methane lesson students complete an activity and describe ways in which methane hydrates impact our lives.
Curated OER
Substances And Chemical Reactions
Students watch and predict chemical reactions when different substances are mixed together. They differentiate between solid, liquid, and gas.
Curated OER
DNA: What Does It Mean?
Tenth graders explore DNA using online tutorial. They perform their own DNA extraction from a clove of garlic and identify the key components of DNA.
Curated OER
How to Read a Thermometer
Students' temperature is measured using an instrument called a thermometer.
Curated OER
Candy Cane Chemistry
Fourth graders, in groups, examine the effect of heat on bonding forces by doing laboratory work.
