This is a lesson about using light to identify the composition of an object. Learners will use a spectrograph to gather data about light sources. Using the data they’ve collected, students are able to make comparisons between different light... (View More)
This is a lesson about emission spectra. Learners will look at various light sources (including glow sticks and christmas lights) and make conjectures about their composition. The activity is part of Project Spectra, a science and engineering... (View More)
This is a lesson about states of matter and their relationship to temperature. Learners will explore the conditions required for water to be in a liquid state. They discover that temperature is the essential variable. They then explore how... (View More)
This is an activity about electromagnetism. Learners will set up a simple circuit using a battery, wire, and knife switch, and then use a compass to map the magnetic field lines surrounding the wire. Next, they will add a coil of wire to the simple... (View More)
This is an activity about cratering. Learners will simluate planetary impact craters on a small scale in the classroom. Relationships between mass and velocity (kinetic energy) of the impactor and crater size are explored, both qualitatively and... (View More)
