This video demonstrates how one teacher uses word and inference walls in the classroom to preview a reading selection. Students learn vocabulary and preview the text's content through these activities. This lesson specifically ties into the teaching of The Outsiders, but it could be applied to any content area.

Included in this resource are several project guides for the second unit (Motors and Electricity) of the Snap-Circuits Basic Electronics Kits manual. These are to be used in conjunction with the provided manual as a guide for students to engage in inquiry-based project learning. There are also project guides for use with PhET online simulations on basic circuits. (Students should have access to multimeters for these activities)

Introduction to Quantum Physics concepts with an activity demonstrating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, wave/particle duality, Planck's Constant, de Broglie wavelength, and how Newton's Laws go right out the window on a quantum level.

When do photons, electrons, and atoms behave like particles and when do they behave like waves? Watch waves spread out and interfere as they pass through a double slit, then get detected on a screen as tiny dots. Use quantum detectors to explore how measurements change the waves and the patterns they produce on the screen.

The electric field lines from a point charge evolve in time as the charge moves. Watch radiation propagate outward at the speed of light as you wiggle the charge. Stop a moving charge to see bremsstrahlung (braking) radiation. Explore the radiation patterns as the charge moves with sinusoidal, circular, or linear motion. You can move the charge any way you like, as long as you don’t exceed the speed of light.
