Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.
The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be
Students will use jelly beans to model the variation that results from sexual reproduction. They will use Punnett Squares to practice probability.
Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.
This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons
Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).
This lesson can be used to help introduce the idea of forces acting on objects at a distance. The focus of this lesson will be on magnets and magnetic force fields. This can then be used to help
Ice Cores and Climate Change
This ice core activity takes place within a lesson on climate change that utilizes PBS Learning Media. The teacher will build ice cores for students to investigate and gather data. Students will use
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and
