Students investigate the formation of infrared images. In this physics instructional activity, students discuss the different application of infrared imaging technology. They compare this to images formed by visible light.

Student's measure sporadic meteor activity.  In this physics and astronomy lesson, 11th graders construct a dipole antennae, and build, test and wire a full wave diode rectifier between the dipole antenna and the laptop. 

Young scholars examine the benefits of the space program to our life on earth.  In this space exploration lesson students participate in a lab, answer questions and study radar mapping. 

Second graders make spinning color wheels to determine how energy effects what colors look like. They paint or color a color wheel with the seven colors of the spectrum. Next, the spin the wheel to determine what happens. In order to...

Learners explore naturally magnetic elements. In this magnets lesson plan, students examine the periodic table of elements. Learners discover the parts of an atom and determine which three elements are magnetic.

Students examine the electromagnetic spectrum and demonstrate the elements within.  In this investigative lesson students complete a demonstration and calculate the energy of a photon. 

Tenth graders explore and define the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders calculate the circumference and area of a circle using real world objects and shapes. They discuss chords and lines...

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Students explore how a surface can be described without seeing it.

Students explore how pendulums work and why they are useful in everyday applications. In a hands-on activity, they experiment with string length, pendulum weight and angle of release.

Fourth graders complete activities to study the sources of energy and forms. For this energy lesson, 4th graders discuss the origin of energy and define it. Students participate in several experiments to further study energy including a...
