In this lesson, students will learn the basic principles of magnetism and how they apply to the Sun.
Students will perform activities that enhance their understanding of magnets, force fields, and electromagnetism.
Students will investigate the general properties of magnets and electromagnets and make an electromagnet and electric motor.
In this lab activity, students will design and build a complete circuit, record diagrams and notes in their journals, and use a compass to record the directionality of electricity in the circuit.
Students investigate different marine ecosystem types, identify examples of these ecosystems and their characteristics, and locate the ecosystems on a map of the world's oceans.
This assessment resource checks students' understanding of how motion can be represented on a graph.
Students will investigate motion along a straight line to differentiate stopping from moving with respect to a reference point. Note: This activity requires use of a motion sensor.
In this interactive module, students will investigate motion along a straight line to differentiate stopping from moving with respect to a reference point. Note: This activity requires use of a motion sensor.
Students investigate marine food webs and trophic levels, research one marine organism, this activity sand fit their organisms together in a class-created food web showing a balanced marine ecosystem.
Students conduct a lab simulating the process of mass movement and investigate the velocity of materials moving down a slope.
This website explains an experiment exemplifying Newton's Third Law.
In this lab activity, students not only explore the meaning of density, but also use their math skills to graph mass/volume data, write an equation for a line and interpret the slope of the line. Students also find the density of two unknown mineral samples and use those values to differentiate between the two minerals. At the end of the lab, students and teacher discuss the following ideas: (1) density is a physical property that is independent of sample size, (2) why the students' measured density values are not the same as the known density values reported in the textbook , and (3) the "messy" nature of science, which requires multiple and repeatable measurements and requires careful attention to detail.

GeoInquiries are designed to be fast and easy-to-use instructional resources that incorporate advanced web mapping technology. Each 15-minute activity in a collection is intended to be presented by the instructor from a single computer/projector classroom arrangement. No installation, fees, or logins are necessary to use these materials and software.
In this activity, students use a map of electron configuration (patterned after the Bohr model) and round markers (bingo chips or other similar object) to configure electrons for assigned elements.
In this unit, students will learn about momentum. Lessons in this unit include: Momentum; Momentum and Impulse Connection; and Real-World Applications. This unit includes visuals and mini quizzes to check for understanding and facilitate learning.
In this lesson students engineer ramps and race monster trucks. Students estimate and measure distances traveled and then organize and visually represent this data in a graph.
In this lesson, students investigate motion graphs. Students predict what the distance-time and velocity-time graphs would look like for a student walking across the room for several different scenarios. Then students will use a motion detector to act out these scenarios and compare their predictions to those produced from the motion detector.
Look at this slide deck to find some ideas for implementing engaging instruction about forces, motion, and the relationship between them.
This activity illustrates how global mountain ranges are formed related to plate motions.
