Preventing Forest Fires
Eleventh graders examine how forest fires burn depending on the slope, tree density, and forest arrangement. In this Environmental lesson, 11th graders observe and record different burn patterns. Students analyze contemporary fires and...
Curated OER
Testing Density of Various Soap Products
Students have the opportunity to observe, measure and analyze the density of aerosol shaving creams and foams generated from shampoo and dishwashing liquids or detergents.
Curated OER
The Internal Anatomy of the Grasshopper
Sixth graders explore the internal organs of grasshoppers. They determine the function of the organs through a dissection activity.
Curated OER
Mighty Minerals
Students investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of minerals. They make a list of the uses of minerals found in Illinois. They write a report individually based on their observations.
Curated OER
Project Geode
Students predict the appearance of a geode's internal structure based on its mass and density. They form a hypothesis based on the data they collect. They also identify common minerals found in Illinois.
Curated OER
Identifying Food Nutrients
Learners pretend they are a food-quality tester. They develop a kit to test food for sugars, starches, proteins and lipids. They answer questions to complete the lesson.
Curated OER
Amphibians-Frog Dissection
Learners compare the anatomy of a fish to an amphibian and that of an amphibian (frog) to a human. They complete a virtual frog dissection to gain some experience prior to the real dissection.
