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
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at
After learning about emission spectra, electron energy levels, orbitals and configurations, and periodic trends for atomic radius and ionization energy; this is concluding activity that require
This is a phenomena-based introduction to how emission spectra of elements and the connection to electrons and energy levels. Students first get to explore the emission spectra of several gases using
In this project, students will choose an environmental problem to research. They will look up why this problem is occurring and how it is harming the environment. Students will then come up with two
I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it
Students are given data and are required to graph the data, analyze the data to determine the carrying capacity of four different organisms.
This two-part lesson models STEM instruction in the context of an ELD classroom. In this lesson (part 2), students pose a research question about clouds, weather, and/or climate, and address it with
Classes will build three different types of rockets, guess which style will have the highest altitude, launch and calculate results based on right triangle math!
Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a
In this lesson, students are introduced to a crime scene where they must work in groups and rotate through four stations to solve the murder of Geoffry Dormer. The stations include fingerprint
You've crash-landed on an alien planet and must find a way to survive with the help of native flora and fauna. Students will document alien life-forms in a field journal and use that information to
In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the
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 give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical
Students explore different recipes for giant bubbles and determine which recipe created the best (longest lasting) bubbles. They then examine the structures of the added ingredients and apply to their
This lesson falls within our unit learning about the elements of the periodic table, how it is arranged and what trends exist within it. This lesson asks students to apply their knowledge of chemical
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
Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic
GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is
Students investigate and learn parts of an Earthworm inside and out. Students learn about the Earthworm life cycle and purpose.
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.
