Alphabet, Vegetable, and Chicken Noodle Parachute Soup
Students throw in their letter or vegetable when the said object or letter is said by the teacher. They also explore how to make a parachute ripple and make waves.
Curated OER
Indinite Potential Well
Students use experiments such as electron diffraction that show that particle have a wavelike nature. When they are fired through a thin slit, rather than scattering like hard spheres they interfere like waves. Students see that the...
Curated OER
Continental Drift
Young scholars simulate convection waves using a model. In this earth science lesson, students explain the effect of plate movements to Earth's geography. They use the internet to find answers to graphic organizer questions.
Curated OER
Angular Solution of Hydrogen Atom
Students participate in an angular solution of hydrogen activity. Using this activity, students also illustrate eigenvalue problems applied in mathematics. They explore Schrodinger's equation and particle wave duality.
Curated OER
Geometrical Optics: Reflection and Refraction of Light
Students define and discus the concepts of wave fronts and rays. In groups, they distinguish between specular and diffuse reflections and use Snell's Law to predict the path of light rays. They calculate the speed of light through...
Curated OER
Sizing Up Sound
Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of sound waves and frequency. As a class, they listen to the differences between different types of instruments. To end the lesson, they practice identifying low and high pitches and playing...
Curated OER
Radial Solution, Hydrogen Wavefunction
Students study the radial solution of hydrogen activity. They illustrate eigenvalue problems in applied mathematics. Students explore Schrodinger's equation and particle wave duality.
Curated OER
Modeling With Circular Functions
High schoolers explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming...
Curated OER
Generation of Action Potentials in Nitella Giant Algal Cells
Students observe cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella cells. They examine the conduction of a wave of depolarization across other membranes, such as the axons of neurons. Students predict the effects of sending a small electric current...
Curated OER
Bubble Blower
Students make bubbles. In this art lesson, students take the plastic ring holder, dip it in the dish soap and wave it around making bubbles.

Literacy Printables : Handwriting 2
Celebrate National Handwriting Day with a variety of worksheets designed to warm up young writer's hands. Learners work on tracing figures such as curves, ellipses, mounds, and more.
Curated OER
Convection Currents
Students explain and understand the circulation of air in the atmosphere. They identify that energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow or by waves, including water, light and sound waves, or by moving objects. ...
Curated OER
Day 4: Plate Tectonics II
Learners explore the theory of plate tectonics. In this geology instructional activity, students conduct a simulation of the crust of the Earth floating on the mantle. Learners research plate tectonics and share their findings with the...
Curated OER
Light 1: Making Light of Science
Students are introduced to the electromagnetic spectrum, focusing on visible light. They are introduced to the idea that all light travels as waves, and that wavelength defines the various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Curated OER
Music Technology
Pupils identify the features of a synthesizer and practice using them. They record different sounds using the software provided. They also examine sound waves and applications through the synthesizer.
Curated OER
Physics: Angular Solution of Hydrogen Atom
Students discover the angular solution of hydrogen activity. Depending on the undergraduate course, this activity can illustrate eigenvalue problems, to introduce Shrodinger's equation and particle wave duality, or to introduce...
