In this lesson, learners will use the Membit app to create a memorial / museum exhibit within an augmented reality. Learners will curate an exhibit of primary and secondary virtual artifacts and analyze why the contributions of someone might be seen as historically significant. This is the fourth in a series of four lessons designed to aid learners to place the individuals of Harlem into a broader historical context and to consider how society decides whose achievements are worthy of remembrance and how to memorialize such figures.

Estimated time required: 1 class period.

Technology required for this lesson: Internet Connectivity, Tablet or Smartphone.

In this lesson, learners will use the Membit app to explore and experience artifacts within an augmented reality. The purpose of this lesson is to explore the rich history of African American changemakers of Harlem, New York and to consider how society decides whose achievements are worthy of remembrance. Learners will examine primary and secondary sources and analyze why the contributions of Lillias White might be seen as historically significant. This is the second in a series of four lessons designed to aid learners to place the individuals of Harlem into a broader historical context.

Students explore heat transfer and energy efficiency using the context of energy efficient houses. They gain a solid understanding of the three types of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction, which are explained in detail and related to the real world. They learn about the many ways solar energy is used as a renewable energy source to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses and operating costs. Students also explore ways in which a device can capitalize on the methods of heat transfer to produce a beneficial result. They are given the tools to calculate the heat transferred between a system and its surroundings.

A book about riding a rollercoaster. Book includes audio narration in nine additional languages with text in English.

This article is about the latest remake of Jules Verne's popular 144-year-old novel Journey to the Center of the Earth that also provides links to the American Geologic Institute's (AIG) Educator Guide for using the movie (Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D) to interest students in geology and earth science.

This activity is a lab investigation where students observe, record, and gather data on the speed, acceleration, constant speed, and average speed of toy cars. This activity allows for futher investigation of speed, time, and distance of objects to calculate speed and acceleration.

In this video segment from PEEP and the Big Wide World, children experiment with cardboard and build a house for their stuffed animals.

Students learn that it is incorrect to believe that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects. By close observation of falling objects, they see that it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.

From this original story, young readers and listeners learn about four tools scientists use to study climate - climate stations, weather balloons, satellites, and buoys. The story is available at two reading levels and in three formats - text-only, illustrated booklet, and electronic book. Glossary included. Each issue of Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle contains an original story that expands on the theme.

This video segment adapted from FETCH! shows contestants experimenting with different materials to see which is the best insulator and thus best able to keep the lemonade at their stand cool for customers.

Students practice their multiplication skills using robots with wheels built from LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT kits. They brainstorm distance travelled by the robots without physically measuring distance and then apply their math skills to correctly calculate the distance and compare their guesses with physical measurements. Through this activity, students estimate parameters other than by physically measuring them, practice multiplication, develop measuring skills, and use their creativity to come up with successful solutions.

Students measure the permeability of different types of soils, compare results and realize the importance of size, voids and density in permeability response.

This illustrated essay from A Science Odyssey Web site explains the science behind radio waves, including the role of electrons and electromagnetic fields.

Count the wheels on different things. Book includes audio narration in 12 additional languages with text in English.

In this fast-paced NASA Brain BitesŒ_íěÖ video, an astronaut demonstrates the impact of microgravity on the use of tools in space.

Students explore a variety of objects to discover the many ways the objects move and what force makes them move.

SSAC Physical Volcanology module. Students build a spreadsheet to calculate velocity of rising magma in steady-state Plinian eruptions using conservation of mass and momentum.

Students measure and analyze forces that act on vehicles pulling heavy objects while moving at a constant speed on a frictional surface. They study how the cars interact with their environments through forces, and discover which parameters in the design of the cars and environments could be altered to improve vehicles' pulling power. This LEGO® MINDSTORMS® based activity is geared towards, but not limited to, physics students.
