Waves and Energy
Students learn that sound is produced by vibrating objects, that sound travels from a source through air, solids, and liquids, and its loudness depends...
Forces and Interactions
Students will investigate the relationship between force and acceleration. Newton's first law and and second law will also be explored.
Acid Rain and Weathering
Students will use a pH sensor and vinegar to model the effects of acid rain on various materials.
Photosynthesis
Guide students to measure the change in carbon dioxide (in a closed system) with a carbon dioxide sensor to facilitate an understanding of the relationship...
Introduction to Acids and Bases
Students will use a pH sensor to determine the pH of common household substances.
Thermoregulation
Students will explore the relationship between internal body temperature and the skin surface temperature of their hand under different conditions.
Seasons and Temperature
Students will use different models to recreate the effects of the Sun on Earth. In Part 1, students use a model to examine the equinox. In Part 2, students...
Night and Day
Students will be using different models to recreate the effects of the Sun on Earth. In Part 1, students use a simple model to examine night and day. In...
Humidity and Dew Point
Students use a weather sensor to examine the differences between absolute and relative humidity and relate those to dew point.
Describing Motion
Students will use a motion sensor to investigate how position, velocity, and acceleration may all be described and quantified when explaining motion.
