In this activity, students learn about different types of water erosion and develop strategies to slow down erosion where man is involved.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will be challenged to work with magnets to obtain metal objects located in glasses filled with water without getting their hands wet.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Lesson Plan
In this activity, students learn how rate of cooling affects what type of rock forms. Students will be introduced to igneous rocks, how they form, what the different types are and how to identify them.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will compare and contrast related organisms and discover their survival advatage. Students will examine photos of two related organisms and list physical characteristics that are similar and unique among the organisms. After a class discussion on how variations give organisms a survival advantage in their environments, students will participate in shared writing assignments.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
Students use a set of simple materials to observe how the Earth's rotation causes light and dark cycles.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students are introduced to the concept of electricity through hands-on investigation of how circuits work. Students will construct a simple circuit and record their experiences in their science journal. Note: Circuit kits (one per individual/group) will need to be prepared ahead of time. Kits are to include 1 C-cell battery, 2 insulated copper wires, 1 battery holder, 2 brass battery clips, 1 small flashlight bulb, and 1 socket.
