The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn
Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super
In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
The Navajo Code Talker Mockup Radio Transmitter Project is an ELA/STEM hands-on lesson designed for 11th-grade students. This project-based lesson that involves students working in small groups to
Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
Students learn about the Colorado River watershed and the impact of water rights and usage. They will read about the past and present water flow data, build a model of the watershed, calculate data
This lesson gives students another real life example of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Students will use force diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion to find their apparent weight as they
Students will build a paper marble run out of recycled paper which maximizes the time of travel. Students will then analyze the run with energy diagrams (LOL) and determine how much energy was lost.
This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to
Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
This lesson discusses and gives you a more in-depth understanding of the relationship of particles that are held together by a certain amount of energy. The energy is required to break bonds and the
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.
Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered
In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn
