In this lesson students will read requested information from a phase diagram and state the primary difference between a generic phase diagram and a phase diagram of water.

This is a short video outlining the causes and effects of a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska in 1964. Additional resources include a background essay and discussion questions.

This animation illustrates how seismic waves travel through the earth to a single seismic station. Scale and movement of the seismic station are greatly exaggerated to depict the relative motion recorded by the seismogram as P, S, and surface waves arrive.

In this unit, students will learn about ticker tape diagrams and vector diagrams. Lessons in this unit include: Introduction; Ticker Tape Diagrams; and Vector Diagrams. This unit includes animations and mini quizzes to check for understanding and facilitate learning.

In this unit, students will learn about the equations that describe the motion of an object. Lessons in this unit include: The Kinematic Equation; Kinematic Equations and Problem-Solving; Kinematic Equations and Free Fall; Sample Problems and Solutions; and Kinematic Equations and Graphs. This unit includes animations and mini quizzes to check for understanding and facilitate learning.

In this unit of study, students will learn how to use position versus time graphs to describe motion. Lessons in this unit include: Meaning of Shape for a p-t graph; Meaning of Slope for a p-t Graph; and Determining slope on a p-t Graph. This unit includes videos, animations, and mini quizzes to check for understanding and facilitate learning.

In this unit of study, students will learn how to describe motion with velocity versus time graphs. Lessons in this unit include: Meaning of Shape for a v-t Graph; Meaning of Slope for a v-t Graph; Relating the Shape to the Motion; Determining Slope on a v-t Graph; and Determining Area on a v-t Graph. This unit includes videos, animations, and mini quizzes to check for understanding and facilitate learning.

In this unit students will learn how to analyze the motion of objects. Students will begin to make a mathematical connection with words that describe motion. This unit will focus on several examples of vector and scalar quantities (distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration). As students proceed through the lessons, they should give careful attention to the vector and scalar nature of each quantity. This tutorial also includes animations of each of the major concepts. At the end of each lesson students can check for understanding of concepts by answering concept questions.

In this unit, students will learn about free fall and the acceleration of gravity. Lessons in this unit include: Introduction to Free Fall; The Acceleration of Gravity; Representing Free Fall by Graphs; How Fast? and How Far? This unit includes videos, animations, and mini quizzes to check for understanding and facilitate learning.

Students create an engineering project using Keva Planks based on the Folk Tale, Three Billy Goat Gruff. They have the following limitations. Only blocksSpan of river wider than the planks (span is 8 inches)Not weight bearingCan’t build on top of banks (the end of the river base/supports)15 minutes to build

After researching the needs of different animals, students will choose an animal that interests them. Students will then design and create a habitat for their animal. They will need to think about the different needs for those animals and think about what their habitat would need to help meet those needs.
