Scientists at Work: What'll they think of next?
Learners explore scientific discovery while watching a video. They, in groups, are to research a scientific invention and present their findings to the class.
Curated OER
Learning About the Shape of the Earth
Seventh graders investigate ways of telling the shape of the Earth and its position in the Universe both historically and today.
Curated OER
Objects as Self
Students examine how objects and setting help complete a self-portrait. They analyze Franklin's self-portraits before creating their own. They try to create the self-portrait as if they were in Franklin's time.
Curated OER
Rocketry in Motion
Students investigate why a balloon flies in one direction as air escapes in the opposite direction, which helps them understand the nature of rockets and fireworks. Individually and in teams, students conduct research to create a...
Curated OER
Where Will It Go?
Students predict the path of a ball bouncing off an object. In this physics activity, students conduct the rolling ball experiment to test their prediction. They perform several trials for accuracy.

Pbs Learning Media: Newton's Triple Play: Baseball Science
In this lesson, middle schoolers watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation. It includes...
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Newton's 2nd Law: Inquiry Approach
In this activity, students test Isaac Newton's ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law. The emphasis is on the process of science, investigation, and experimentation, not the results. Students must come up with their own...
TeachEngineering
Teach Engineering: May the Force Be With You: Thrust
In this lesson, students will study how propellers and jet turbines generate thrust. This lesson focuses on Isaac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
