Investigate the diversity of animal life around you
Biomass Basics Lesson.
Have you ever ridden in a car driving across a suspension bridge? Suspension bridges, with their tall towers, long spans, and gracefully curving cables, are beautiful examples of the work of civil engineers. How do the cables and towers carry the load that is on the bridge, which includes you and the car you are in when you cross the bridge? Can a suspension bridge carry a greater load than a simple beam bridge? You can try to answer these questions in this science activity!
In this activity, you will build a bird feeder to attract birds, so you can study them.
In this activity, boats aren't just for water! Children use a limited selection of materials and their creativity to become an engineer and build a land boat that sails across different surfaces.
Build a catapult using household items
Have you ever ridden a roller coaster? Have you ever wated to design your own? There are plenty of expensive toys and even video games that will let you build your own coasters -- but in this project you'll make one out of paper and tape and learn about roller coaster physics along the way!
Construct and measure the energy efficiency and solar heat gain of a cardboard model house. Use a light bulb heater to imitate a real furnace and a temperature sensor to monitor and regulate the internal temperature of the house. Use a bright bulb in a gooseneck lamp to model sunlight at different times of the year, and test the effectiveness of windows for passive solar heating.
Challenges students to create a model of a real-life synchrotron beamline from a polychromatic light source.
In this activity you will be working with chemical reactions. In this activity, a cell phone has been dropped into a lake. Students will need to develop a device that that uses a chemical reaction to prevent a phone from sinking.
Have you ever poured sand out of a buckey, or poured cereal out of a box, and noticed it is a lot like pouring water? It is because sand and cereal are granular materials. This means they are made up of solid particles, but they can flow like liquids! Candies, like Skittles, M&M's, Nerds and many others, are also granular materials. In this science activity, you will investigate physics and how the size and shape of granular materials affect how they flow.
This is the sixth in a series of articles designed to help the new writer with their novel. This article focuses on conflict and how it effects the characters and the plot of the story. W.11-12.3a Narratives
Introduces students to spectroscopy and includes directions to build their own spectroscope.
Site provides extensive assistance in prepraring 4th grade students for Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. This section helps students identify cause and effect in literature.
Taken from the perspective of a children's literature writer, this website offers several tips and suggestions for conducting an efficient interview. A detailed and informational article.
Use computational thinking to create coding art
Have you ever wondered why salt is used to de-ice roads? In this activity, you will use the same chemistry principles to hoist ice cubes with a piece of string. Is it possible to do this without getting your hands cold? Try the activity and see what a pinch of salt can do!
Strategies to help students recognize the order of events in a selection provided by a standardized test preparation site intended for fourth grade. Includes strategies such as plot diagrams, probable passages, story mapping, summary blueprints, and timelines.
