Measuring the mass, volume, and density of a student! NGSS SEP aligned
Measuring the mass, volume, and density of a student! NGSS SEP alignedThis activity is highly engaging and one that students will remember for many years. Students (who choose) will have their volume measured by water displacement, their mass measured, and, using these measurements, their density calculated. Mass and volume are reviewed in this lesson, and the formula of density is “discovered” by students with a simple activity. Instructions for construction of the giant overflow container are

The Little Ice Age - Understanding Climate and Climate Change #9
Free LessonWhat Students DoStudents receive data about tree ring records, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions during the Little Ice Age (1350-1850). By comparing and contrasting time intervals when tree growth was at a minimum, solar activity was low, and major volcanic eruptions occurred, they draw conclusions about possible naturalcauses of climate change.

Where Have All the Glaciers Gone? #4
Free LessonWhat Students Do in this LessonIn this lesson, students examine images of alpine glaciers to develop an understanding of how glaciers respond to climate change. They record, discuss, and interpret their observations. They consider explanations for changes in the size and position of glaciers from around the world. They develop an understanding that the melting (retreat) of glaciers is occurring simultaneously on different continents around the world, and, thus, they represent evidence

Natural Records of Change: Working with Indirect Evidence of Past Climates #2
Free LessonWhat Students Do in this LessonStudents play a dice game to explore the differences between direct and indirect evidence. Student pairs roll dice and record the numbers rolled as a series of colors instead of numbers. Other pairs of students try to crack the color code to figure out the sequence of numbers rolled. In this way, students gain an understanding of how indirect evidence of climate change can be interpreted. In conclusion, the class discusses the various records made by hum

Olympics Physics Activity based on Michael Phelps
This activity or project is a follow up to watching a Michael Phelps Race to enage students with a real world physics problem. This activity uses calculations to determine average speed, analyze data from different races, predict and calculate his performance in the individual medley, and compare predicted to actual results. My students found this a much more interesting problem than the typical rolling a car or ball down a ramp. I hope you will find it useful in your class!
