Students will find angles in playground equipment.
Students will investigate how the eye detects color, and how fatigue in the cones can cause the perceived color of an object to change.
Students will investigate the phenemenon of sunlight traveling through the atmosphere. Blue light scatters more than the other colors, leaving a dominant yellow-orange hue to the transmitted light. The scattered light makes the sky blue; the transmitted light makes the sunset reddish orange.
Students will become familiar with a cell by clicking on different cell organelles and reading about their structure and function. Please note flash must be enabled on your browers to use this resource.
Students will learn about human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.
Students will observe how changes in temperature cause objects to expand or contract.
Students will demonstrate how heating iron to a high temperature can cause it to lose his ability to be magnetized.
Students will rotate a flat shape into the third dimension to demonstrate bilateral symmetry.
Students will explore sound by creating a "telephone" out of two empty yogurt cups and string.
Students will see how mirrors reflect the features of a shape.
Students will explore how polygons fit together.
Students will repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle. This lesson features three investigations that are appropriate for varying grades and levels.
This website provides background information, data, historical records, hands-on activities, and graphics/media about earthquakes.
Students learn about gamma rays and complete several activities involving gamma radiation.
This activity reinforces students' understanding of shapes by creating string shapes. This activity can also be modified for grades 1 and 2.
Students will go on a scavenger hunt to see what geometric shapes they can find on the playground.
Students will examine NASA images and images from the Neumayer Antarctic Station to graph and investigate atmospheric ozone.
Students experiment with one method of detecting infrared radiation.
Students will create a sun clock out of simple items in order to tell time by the movement of shadows throughout the day.
This resource describes and illustrates the varieties of mutations that are commonly seen in Drosophila fruit flies.
