This is an introductory lesson to Science SOL 5.3 - The student will investigate and understand that there is a relationship between force and energy of moving objects.
While reading the book, students will stop at predetermined points and visualize what is happening in the book based on the author' words.
Students will preform three mini-lab activities with no previous knowledge of Newton's laws of motion. Each lab activity demonstrates one of Newton's laws of motions. Students will write their observations from the three mini-labs and then use these observations later to connect which lab went with which law of motion, after the teacher formally introduces Newton's Laws of Motion.
Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
This resource teaches students about balanced forces, unbalanced forces, and Newton's three laws through the game of baseball. It is interactive and uses short videos and simulations to help students learn the content. It culminates with a project at the end.
Compare the electron distribution, potential energy, and forces of two interacting hydrogen atoms (which can bond) with two helium atoms (which do not).
In this lesson, students learn about some of the early explorations of the Northwest Passage, and how the changing sea ice extent has prompted new explorations of this region to transport goods from one region of the Northern Hemisphere to another.
Melinda Hodgkiss of Isle of Wight hosts a web page called Notes from the Coach. From here, access video tutorials regarding various technologies.

Start a chain reaction, or introduce non-radioactive isotopes to prevent one. Control energy production in a nuclear reactor! (Previously part of the Nuclear Physics simulation - now there are separate Alpha Decay and Nuclear Fission sims.)
This is a set of two, one-page problems about the sizes of moons in the solar system. Learners will use fractions to compare the sizes and distances of Jupiter's moons. Options are presented so that students may learn about the Juno mission through a NASA press release or by viewing a NASA eClips video [6 min.] about the creation of graphic of the 88 largest objects in our solar system. This activity is part of the Space Math multi-media modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school.
Objective:
To understand the three common deficiencies of nutrients that cause stunted growth in plants
Interactive resource codes either "OECD large regions" usually the primary subnational administrative unit of an OECD country -- (eg. states) or "OECD small regions" usually the secondary subnmational administrative unit -- (eg. counties) by demographic, economic and educational statistics. Regions are compared on a color coded map (for any single variable), scatter plot (for any two variables, table lens or data grid (for a large number of variables. Allows transnational comparisons across all rich countries, but also allows the specificity of focusing on subnational -- and sometimes very small -- geographic units.
Students will create a storyboard to share their scientific data collected while experimenting with liquids & solids in water. They will work in pairs (pair programming) to map out a story that shares their results in a creative way. Students will then create a video using their storyboard. If accessible, students will experiment with stop motion video using an app called OSnap.
This page is part of NASA's Earth Observatory website. It features text and a scientific illustration to describe how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere, physically exchanging heat, water, and momentum. It also includes links to related data sets, other ocean fact sheets, and relevant satellite missions.
This module teaches students about ozone���s role in the atmosphere and explores authentic data to compare and contrast conditions that affect ground-level ozone values.
See how the equation form of Ohm's law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm's law. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change to match the circuit diagram.
Explore the interactions that cause water and oil to separate from a mixture. Oil is a non-polar molecule, while water is a polar molecule. While all molecules are attracted to each other, some attractions are stronger than others. Non-polar molecules are attracted through a London dispersion attraction; polar molecules are attracted through both the London dispersion force and the stronger dipole-dipole attraction. When oil and water are mixed, the dipole-dipole interactions are disrupted, but constant molecular motion allows the stronger dipole-dipole attractions to partition the polar molecules from the mixture. The force of attractions between molecules has consequences for their interactions in physical, chemical and biological applications.
Students will investigate what constitutes a solid and a liquid state of matter. Using the probe, students' misconceptions on states of matter will be exposed. The lab, which uses a cornstarch, water and food coloring mixture, will be explored. The students will determine how that exploration will take place and devise a procedure to determine the state of matter. Students will then, as a group, present their findings to the class. Students can also write a Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) paragraph to answer the question "What state of matter is Oobleck?" An engineering extension task is included that challenges students to devise a way to make a useful invention that would take advantage of a substance like oobleck.
Join biochemist and Miss America 2020, Camille Schrier, as she uses her kitchen as her laboratory. In this episode of Cooking Up Science with Miss America, we will explore the States of Matter. We know that substances can exist as different states of matter: solids, liquids, or gasses. But can some substances have the properties of more than one state of matter at the same time? Let's explore some oooey gooey Non-Newtonian fluids by making oobleck and slime and discover the science behind them. Developed for students in grades 6-10.
Change the charge on spheres to positive or negative and observe how charges affect the interaction between them.
