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.
