Curated OER
Great Streamboat Race
Learners analyze currents. In this Science lesson, students race small boats in a creek or stream. Learners time the currents and collect organisms from the creek or stream.
Curated OER
How a Faucet Works
Students use the basic concepts of simple machines, force and fluid flow to describe the path of water through a simple faucet. In this faucet lesson plan, students study the workings of a faucet and translate this knowledge into...
Curated OER
Plate Tectonic - Volcanoes
Students watch and learn the different levels of "viscosity" in liquids to explain molten lava after viewing a video of a Hawaiian volcano.
Curated OER
A Simple Viscosity Test
Fourth graders experiment with the viscosity of different liquids. They use a stopwatch to time the a steel ball as it drops through different liquids.
Curated OER
Flight Home
Students experiment to investigate the role in fixed-wing flight. They watch as air and water flow around surfaces to examine the dynamics of airflow around an aircraft wing.
