This activity investigates the molar conversions used in a single replacement reaction between copper and iron.
This activity is an indoor lab for use with Vernier gas pressure sensors that allows students to experimentally determine the molar volume of a gas and ideal gas constant.
A fun lab experience with little extra prep or materials needed. Kids are amazed that 1+1 doesn't equal 2!
Spreadsheets across the Curriculum Module. Students build spreadsheets to practice converting between moles, grams, and atomic mass units.
Describing and analyzing monetary policy from FOMC press releases.
This inquiry lab is useful for monitoring water pollution in a freshwater system using direct and/or indirect methods.
This assignment uses a computer simulation of fruit fly genetics to have students design and interpret monohybrid crosses of a trait with simple dominant and recessive alleles. Detailed instructions with animated examples, background material, a sample report and a rubric are included.
Students predict then calculate and graph profit-maximizing the price for an isolated, desert monopoly gas station.
This activity is an observation opportunity for students to view the phases of the moon and learn that the juxtoposition of the Earth and moon dictates the appearance of the moon in the sky.
The activity is an observational lesson in the phases of the moon with an attached calendar and video links.
These two activities are just a small part of overall fun students will have in discovering the wonders of magnets and how they apply to us every day.
In this activity students analyze the motion of a student walking across the room and predict, sketch, and test distance vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs.
In this activity students will determine the speed of a moving vehicle using a stopwatch and meter stick. Then convert units of meters/sec to miles/hr.
This activity is a lab where students make measurements of a mass on a spring and work through appropriate calculations dealing with simple harmonic motion.
A lab activity that develops methods other than sight to collect information.
This is a guided inquiry investigation for students to determine the state of matter of a mystery material and to make potential real world applications/products for the mystery material.
This activity is an investigation of a "mystery material" where students have to determine whether the substance is a solid or a liquid. This activity can be done as part of an earth science or chemistry lesson.
In this classroom guided inquiry lesson, students will complete a serious of tests using five different mystery powders. Student will develop hypotheses, make observations, and draw conclusions about what each powder is and the physical and chemical reactions that occur when heat, water, iodine, and vinegar are added to each substance.
This activity is a longer project that involves using inquiry to find out what kinds of aquatic animals live in our school pond. Students use direct observation, journaling, outdoor classroom techniques, research skills, collaboration, and service learning to learn about their question.
Students will learn to identify 3 to 4 birds by their song.
