Students learn about sampling bias by working in three separate groups to survey students, parents, and teachers about the amount of homework students ought to have. They report and compare the responses from each of the three groups to see how the results differ. Activity sheets, discussion questions, ideas for assessment and extensions, and Internet links are included.

In this hands-on lesson, students explore the effect of heating and cooling on the dispersal of food coloring in water. Students will observe how heat speeds up changes in materials. Real life connections are used, and lesson extensions such as probing questions, teacher and student activity sheets, assessment and a web link is included.

Students learn that particle movement changes as a substance changes from one phase to another. Students participate in experiments where they will look at water as it changes from a liquid to a vapor/gas and then back to a liquid. They write a hypothesis and descriptions about what happened, and work collaboratively to discuss, defend and clarify their writing.
In this first hands-on lesson in a two part series, students will …
In this first hands-on lesson in a two part series, students will explore and measure the rate of spherical objects rolling down a ramp. Assessment suggestions and real-life connections are included.
In this interactive second lesson in a two-part series, students explore ramps. …
In this interactive second lesson in a two-part series, students explore ramps. They design and create plans for ramps; and then they build, test, evaluate and adjust the make up of the ramps they create to determine the ramp that will allow objects to roll the longest distance. Lesson extensions include probing questions, a Ramp Builders activity sheet, an assessment suggestion and alternative activities using the ramps which include timing the rolling objects, building ramps where items go up, a web link for differentiated learning and real life applcations.
In this lesson, students will participate in a variety of activities that …
In this lesson, students will participate in a variety of activities that produce varying levels of heat. They use a worksheet to record their observations and findings, then they share their findings with their classmates. Additional discussion questions are included. This lesson is part of a series of lessons dealing with energy transformations.
