Look At Those Leaves!
Students observe, measure and sort leaves. In this leaf lesson students divide into groups and observe the different kinds of leaves.
Curated OER
Outrageous Ooze
Students examine states of matter. In this solids and liquids lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to make ooze and record their observations pertaining to it.
Curated OER
Solids, Liquids, and Gases
First graders explore the properties of matter. In this states of matter lesson plan, 1st graders conduct scientific investigations that require them to mix, cool, and heat objects in order to observe changes in the properties of matter.
Curated OER
Thermoset Polymers
Young scholars complete a lab activity with polymers to allow them to better understand how to make "observations". In this science lesson students make measurements and collect data.
Curated OER
Let the Sunshine in
Students collect and analyze data to study wavelengths of visible light. They cover Styrofoam cups with three different colors of sun filtering products and shine a lamp directly on the cups. They determine the most effective filtering...
Curated OER
How do plant & animal cells make and use energy?
Pupils show the relationship between the need for plants to undergo photosynthesis in order to generate oxygen. They see the flaws associated with this thinking because of the lack of CO2 and H2O and lack of sufficient gravity in order...
Curated OER
Homeostasis
Students explore homeostasis and identify it in work in an organism. They brainstorm things that stay the same and participate in several demonstrations that illustrate homeostasis. Students predict baseline breathing and jumping jacks
Curated OER
Gravity - The Glue of the Universe
Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. For this gravitational force lesson, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Students utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to simulate a satellite crashing...
Curated OER
The Air Up There!
Students create a model of a column of air and discover one of the reasons why low and high pressure systems exist and why low pressure is often associated with bad weather.
Curated OER
WHY DO SOME THINGS FLOAT WHILE OTHERS SINK
Students explore how density can cause things to sink or float by experimenting with a jar, oil and corn syrup.
Curated OER
Goofy Putty
Students examine mixtures and solution properties by making a borax polymer. In this chemical reactions lesson, students make a putty out of borax solution mixed to create a polymer.
Curated OER
Learning Activities: Observing Using Sight
Students describe how diffusion occurs within a liquid. They explain a situation where diffusion through a liquid might occur in the natural world.
Curated OER
Dissolved Oxygen
Students discuss the relationships between dissolved oxygen in a stream, stream temperature, organic waste loads, and stream conditions by studying and using a model of dissolved oxygen in the stream.
Curated OER
Polymers and Crystals
Students experiment with crystals and polymers and examine their roles in food science.
Curated OER
Does the Chicken have Anthrax (Explain I)
Young scholars explain how each of the components of innate immunity function in the protection of the body. Following an investigation, they articulate how innate immunity functions.
Curated OER
What Changes Occur When Ice Melts?
Young scholars explore the physical process of melting. They observe melting ice and answer questions related to energy transfer during phase changes.
Curated OER
The Pressure's Off
Students investigate air pressure with four hands-on activities. They observe experiments by viewing Take a Look 2 #21.
Curated OER
Can Chromatography Separate A Pigment?
Learners separate a mixture of pigments with ion exchange chromatography and predict whether the ion-exchange matrix is positively or negatively charged based on the type of pigment bonded to the matrix.
Curated OER
It's the Slime Time
High schoolers experiment to understand the basic concept of polymerization and to understand the dissolution theory. Student experiment with polymers to understand its behavior and the mechanical behavior of polymer networks.
Curated OER
