Marvelous Motion
|
Newton’s Laws of Force and Motion
This lesson is recommended for grades 3 through 8.
The time frame is 45 – 50 minutes. |
 |
Goal:
This lesson will provide the students
the opportunities to discover how forces affect the motion of an
object. The students will be introduced to Newton’s 3 Laws of
Motion, and with guidance, will apply these laws during their
investigation.

Processes That Shape Erosion and Deposition
|
Processes That Shape the Earth
This lesson is recommended for grades 4 through 8.
The time frame is 45 – 50 minutes. |
 |
Goal: This lesson will provide the students the
opportunities to discover how erosion and deposition affect the
surface of the earth. Students will compare the ages of mountains
and learn about the processes that form deltas and alluvial fans. We
will investigate and learn how erosion controls can slow the effect
of erosion.

Challenging Changes
|
Physical and
Chemical Changes
This lesson is recommended for grades 4 through 6.
The time frame is 45 –50 minutes.
|
|
 |
Goal:
Students will be given the opportunity to become chemists.
Students will observe and record the physical properties of a
variety of substances and have the opportunity to combine
different substances to see whether physical or chemical changes
occur. Lab safety and the scientific method are stressed here.

Mixed Bag
|
Scientific Inquiry
This lesson is recommended for grades 4 through 8.
The time frame is 45 – 50 minutes. |
 |
Goal: The students are given a simple task of mixing
and
separating items while applying methods of scientific inquiry and
identifying the physical properties of the objects. Lab safety and
procedures are stressed.Resource:

It’s Electric
|
Electric Circuits and Energy
This lesson is recommended for grades 4 through 8.
The time frame is 45 – 50 minutes. |
 |
Goal: Students will become familiar with how
electricity is made and how circuits are formed. They will
create parallel and series circuits and trace how electrical
energy flows through each circuit. We will also discuss
alternative forms of energy including renewable and nonrenewable
resources. Resources:
|
Nutrition and Chemical
Changes in the Body
|
Physical and Chemical Changes |
 |
Goal: We will investigate the chemical and physical
changes which occur in the human digestive system. Using a
life-size model, we will follow milk through each organ and
discover the changes that are taking place. Recource:
