Curated OER
Chills And Thrills
Students learn what happens when ice melts. They explore melting, and devise ways of speeding up and slowing down the melting process.
Curated OER
Go Glacier Go!
Students create a model of a glacier and observe how it moves. In this landforms lesson plan, students learn what a glacier is, build a model glacier and observe how it moves in a manner that more closely resembles a liquid than a solid.
Curated OER
Vanishing Coast: Erosion
Students explore the concept of erosion. In this erosion lesson, students discuss the effects of 2 classroom demonstrations that replicate coastal erosion.
Curated OER
Physics Post-Lab
Students explore physics. For this science lesson, students discuss physics in their everyday lives. Students complete a physics worksheet.
Curated OER
Weather "Whys"
Students explore the weather. In this weather data lesson, students collect weather data from Internet and media sources. Students graph the collected data discuss it as well as the seasons of the year.

Experiment with Liquids
Students examine how a liquid takes on the shape of the container it is in.
Curated OER
Do Different Colors Absorb Heat Better?
Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.
Curated OER

Water 2: Disappearing Water
Students will observe the amount of water in an open container over time and also examine the amount of water in a closed container over time. They then will compare and contrast the sets.
Curated OER
Experiment with Liquids
Pupils pour liquids into various containers to discover that liquid takes the shape of the container it is in.
Curated OER
Let's Think About Water
Students explore the different forms that water can take and conduct simple experiments to demonstrate some of its properties in each state. They watch a short video that illustrates some of these concepts.
Curated OER
The Water Dance
Students act like the changes in the four seasons by moving like water in each season.
