This lab activity is an exploration of Newton's Three Laws, forces and energy. Students will design, build, launch and analyze rocket data.
This activity is a classroom activity where kindergarten students mix the primary colors together to create the secondary colors using pipettes and well trays.
This activity is an introduction to the water cycle where students will use observation, drawing, writing, recording, questioning, and communication to understand the concept of condensation.
This is a field investigation in which students test water quality in 2-3 areas using their own testable question.
This lesson helps grade 3 students understand the difference between Vertebrates and Invertebrates.
This activity is a 3 part lab activity where students create a model of an area in a community. The students test how dirty water flows through their models observing where water is filtered or not. Using what was learned by the models, students will draw a community scene that has man made areas alongside areas that benefit groundwater filtration.
This activity is a classroom based inquiry activity where students will observe how water changes when it is moved through a variety of different mediums. Eventually, the students will take this model to the larger ideas of watershed in the community.
Students build a model of a watershed, apply water to the model, and explore what happens when elements of the watershed are changed.
This activity is a class activity where students gather information of the water cycle, weather and seasons by doing a lab and game that enforces the concepts of the water cycle.
This activity is a field investigation where students gather weather cycle data on seasons and climate. They will graph their observations, share with others and connect weather and seasons together.
In this activity students examine karyotypes from five individuals to try to identify which chromosomes determine gender in humans. This activity is also a good illustration of meiotic non-disjunction.
a. This activity is designed for students to work on their observational skills, and the communications of their observations. They will also learn to pose researchable or testable questions, to give critique (and to receive) critique on their comments and research.
This activity is a field investigation where the students observe shadows and reflections to learn about the sun.
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum/Geology of National Parks module. Students study measures of central tendency in a bimodal dataset of eruption intervals.
In this investigation, students will design experiments and gather data to observe the factors that influence the activity of enzymes.
Students will test the percolation rates of 6 different soil samples. Three of the samples are measured sand and clay and three are collected from the schoolyard and wetland.
The students will use investigation and data collection to investigate the three states of matter. They will draw conclusions about the physical properties by answering questions.
What Is Water? is an introductory lesson that introduces students to the properties of water and its presents in the environment.
This activity is an internet exploration of West Nile Virus and the effects this virus has directly on bird populations. Students will also see the secondary effects on human populations and the interrelationships of the three populations.
Students will listen to the book, Under One Rock Bugs, Slugs, and Other Ughs, written by Anthony D. Frederick and illustrated by Jennifer DiRubbio and then make a mini-book observation journal, Under One Rock to record what they see when they go outdoors to investigate what lives under a rock.
