In this lesson students will learn the characteristics of sound, how sound travels, and how sound is created and detected.

These slides are used to introduce Ozobot to Kindergarten to use science motion vocabulary and explore robotics in the real world.
Students explore how Ozobots use light and color sensors to "read" the information in order to move.
This is a launching point for further lessons on how to color "code" the types of movement.

This is a project that was worked on in a group to come up with a short lesson for a science lesson in a fourth grade classroom. This project focuses specifically on being able to see how land changes and develops over time and applying this knowledge.

In this lesson, students will define physical property, chemical property, physical change, and chemical change. Students will also describe the phases of matter as well as labeling properties and changes as physical or chemical. Finally, students will be able to state the Law of Conservation of Mass.

In this lessons, students will define element, compound, and mixture as well as heterogeneous mixture and homogenous mixture. Students will also classify examples of matter as elements, compounds, heterogeneous mixtures, or homogenous mixtures.

In this lesson, students will define the terms theory and model as well as describing the development of the modern atomic theory as a result of the contributions of Democritus, Thomson, Dalton, and Rutherford.

In this lesson, students will define the terms isotopes, atomic number, mass number and atomic mass as well as being able to determine the number of subatomic particles in the isotope of an element.

In this lesson, students will describe Bohr's model of the atom as well as calculate wavelength, frequency, or the velocity of a wave using the wave equation. Students will also use emission spectroscopy to illustrate the change in energy levels between orbitals.

In this lesson, students will describe the location of the electron using quantum numbers, electron distribution, and orbital notation.

In the lesson, students will describe the development of the periodic table as a result of the contributions of Mendeleev and Mosely. Students will also explain how the organization of the periodic table and periodic tendencies relate to electron distribution as well as using the periodic table to write electron distributions.

In this lesson, students will define the term "period", determine the number of energy levels in an atom of an element, define the word "family", determine the number of valance electrons in an atom of an element, determine if an element is a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid, determine if an element is a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature, and state an element's family name.

In this lesson, students will explain the pattern in atomic number, atomic mass, atomic radius, ionization energy, and electron affinity as they look across a period and down a family of the periodic table. Students will also define atomic radius, ionization energy, ion, and electron affinity as well as predict the charge an atom of an element will have when it forms an ion based on an element's location on the periodic table.

In this lesson, students will define chemical bond, ionic bonding and properties of ionic compounds, and covalent bonding and properties of covalent compounds. Students will also explain polarity in bonds, predict bond types, and define metallic bonding.

Students will focus on the first 20 elements. Students will first look at a diagram and animation to understand the basic pattern of the arrangement of electrons on energy levels around an atom. Students can be given cards with information about the electrons and energy levels for each of the first 20 atoms. They can try to correctly match the cards with the element. This lesson includes, with direct links to, a student activity sheet, an image of an energy level cross section, an image of an oxygen atom, an image of a periodic table of energy levels, videos on sodium in water, potassium in water and calcium in water as well as sodium, potassium and calcium in acid, an answer key for the student activity sheet and a teacher background section on energy level models.

This interactive periodic table shows the relationships among the elements and illustrates the electron configurations responsible for each element's chemical properties. In the "Mystery Elements" section, students identify and place unknown elements in their correct location on the table, based on their physical and reactive characteristics.

Students will relate chemical properties of elements to their position in the Periodic Table and describe trends of the various properties in the Periodic Table, specifically periodicity. Students will practice predicting phsyical and chemical properties and oxidation numbers of elements by using the Periodic Table.

 Background:  students are familiar with static electricity, charge, and sparks.  They also know about conservation of energy, forms of energy including potential energy, power, and work.  Students will complete a variety of activities using breadboards, which will display various types of circuits and their effect on the flow of electricity.

This activity will set up a series of experiments that will help students identify and find physical properties of water. A discussion of what the students know (or believe they know about water) will start this activity. Once the properties are discussed, methods of testing these properties will be discussed by the instructor, leading the students into the students' development of these labs.

Investigate how properties of volcanoes are influenced by the crust and plate boundaries nearest them.

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 review the names and formulas of the major polyatomic ions by playing a bingo-type game.
