Solving Imaginary Crimes
High schoolers participate in a forensic science activity. In this crime solving lesson plan, students investigate fingerprints, and other crime scene evidence to solve an imaginary crime.
Curated OER
Trajectory and Range of a Projectile
Students investigate the factors affecting projectile trajectory. In this physics lesson, students calculate the range, time and speed of projectiles using mathematical equations.
Curated OER
Science: Criminalistics - A New Look at Crime
Students examine the world of forensic science, focusing on fingerprint analysis. In the lesson, they implement a method by which fingerprints of class members are categorized and identified. Elementary students study classification...
Curated OER
Observations and Inferences
Learners observe how to distinguish observations form inferences. In this examining inferences instructional activity students list observations relating to the activity and discuss the importance of them.
Curated OER
Intro to 2D Motion
Students study straight line motion and motion due to gravity. In this motion lesson plan students analyze several experiments.
