Curated OER
Exploring Marine Objects
Students identify the sources of water on Earth. In this life science instructional activity, students list the different plants and animals that live in the ocean. They explore marine objects in the lab and draw them.
Curated OER
Storm Drain Dumping
Students develop an awareness of what happens to water contaminated through neighborhood runoffs. Students perform an experiment that shows what happens to runoff when it's diverted to different places.
Curated OER
The Brine Shrimp Project
Tenth graders design and conduct a laboratory investigation to determine how different factors may affect the hatching and development of brine shrimp eggs.
Curated OER
Animal Life Histories Derived From Morphology
Students learn the mechanisms of natural selection by deducing information from the physical appearance of the animal.
Curated OER
NOAA Research Project
Students research any topic relating to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research cruise that Mrs. Richards be participating in.
Curated OER
Latin American Relief Map
Students, in groups, research, design and construct a relief map of a section of Latin America using papier-mache. They show major landforms, elevations and notable bodies of water. They present their maps to the class.
Curated OER
Estuarine Currents
Students explore an estuarine system to gather data on density driven currents. This type of current is contrasted with temperature and wind driven currents.
Curated OER
Designing a Flotation Strategy for the Purification of Recycling
Twelfth graders work in teams to design a method of recycled plastics purification by flotation. They base their design on the concept that different kinds of plastics have different densities and keep overall costs and purification time...
Curated OER
ABC's of the Louisiana Purchase
Pupils investigate the Louisiana Purchase by reviewing the ABC's of the purchase. Each letter of the alphabet is accompanied by information pertaining to the event. They participate in a variety of activities to reinforce the concepts...
Curated OER
Black Pearls
Students examine where pearls come from and where mollusks are found. They discover how pearls are formed in nature and how they are they made by humans. They use ordinary oyster shells to examine mother of pearl.
Curated OER
Gluten and Balloons What Do They Have In Common?
Students examine the purpose of gluten in bread making and what type of flour is needed to make bread. They compare the properties of a balloon to bread dough to explain yeast fermentation. They make bread.
Curated OER
Take a Dip: Sticky Water
Students complete lab activities to investigate the "sticky" properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action, due to the polarity of the molecules.
Curated OER
We All Scream for Ice Cream
Students make ice cream while experimenting with the freezing point of water. They experiment with different amounts of salt.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Salt 'n Lighter
Learners participate in a demonstration showing that as salinity increases density increases as well. They also examine the different densities of air. They discuss the amount of water displaced by large ships.
Curated OER
Time, Tide, and Quahogs
Students read tide tables for Waquoit Bay as the simulate determining the best time to go clam digging for a Wampanoag clambake. They graph the tide tables while realizing that the tides a Waquoit Bay are one hour later than those at...
Curated OER
Density Stratification and Ocean Circulation
Young scholars examine how circulation currents of the ocean. They use a tub of hot and cold water to demonstrate the currents. They discover how salinity and temperature of water affect its movement.
Curated OER
Future Conditional
Students examine how toxic pollutants affect environmental and human health. They define key terms, watch a video, and answer discussion questions.
Curated OER
DNA Extraction From a Variety of Tissue Samples
Students, working in cooperative groups, extract very impure samples of DNA from a number of tissue samples. They determine how the samples can be preserved and how they are similar.
Curated OER
Measuring Water Quality
Students are introduced to the various methods of measuring water quality. In groups, they test various water samples using the different methods, writing them down for pH, oxygen, salinity, and nitrate levels. They use their data to...
Curated OER
Quick Freeze (Demonstration)
Students witness an demonstration in which a bottle of club soda will go from a liquid to a solid when it is opened and the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape. This will help them understand that the freezing point of a solution will...
Curated OER
Bouncing Popcorn
Third graders meet a teacher challenge to work like chemists. They investigate with baking soda, water, salt, sugar, vinegar, and sprite to move a popcorn kernel from the bottom of a cup to the top. They experiment with different...
Curated OER
Brine Shrimp Survival
Learners develop an understanding of how growth and survival of an organism depends on physical conditions. They design an artificial environment in which brine shrimp can thrive. Students determine the optimum salinity for hatching of...
Curated OER
DNA Extraction Laboratory Experiment
Pupils will visualize how DNA is extracted from cells by performing a simple laboratory experiment. They will then use this knowledge to further understand how scientists are using DNA extraction to try to clone human cells, and to...
Curated OER
Using Magnetotactic Bacteria to Study Natural Selection
Young scholars demonstrate that living organisms may possess incredible adaptations which enable them to survive. They observe bacteria that are able to orient themselves using the Earth's magnetic field and formulate a hypothesis as to...
