Working in small groups, students determine how 18 items are included in GDP (or if they are excluded.) Cards turned over one at a time encourage participation by all group members.
This activity is a field investigation where students observe plants, animals, and insects that are common to Minnesota.
This activity gives a visual representation of how we are able to see the different layers of metamorphic rocks.
This activity gives a visual representation of how we are able to observe many colors in a sunrise or sunset.
This activity allows the student to access a webpage that provides examples of stoichiometry using terminology and objects they use in their everyday life. This activity can help a student make a connection between the complex chemical concept of stoichiometry and their current knowledge.
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module. Students track their expenses and use Excel to compare them to Seattle/Tacoma averages. Developed for adult students taking English as a Second Language.
This activity is a field investigation of the biodiversity in a given area. The exercise will give students experience making scientific observations and creating a dichotomous key.
This activity is a field investigation where student gather data on organisms they find in or around a pond.
This activity will help students learn about Minnesota animals and characteristics that distinguish them from one another.
This activity is a classroom hands-on , active learning lesson where students observe and describe a familiar item, to help them observe and describe the physical characteristics of rocks.
This write-pair-share activity for Calculus II students involves a hypothetical hemispherical loaf of bread with a 12-inch diameter that has been sliced into twelve one-inch-thick slices. The objective is to determine which slice contains the most upper crust (i.e., most area of its surface of revolution).
An elementary review activity for chemistry vocabulary, tools, and concepts used with the classroom science curriculum.
This activity is an entire-class lab experiment that refreshes the concepts of sinking and floating, while introducing the concepts of bouyancy and density using the fizz from sprite (carbon dioxide gas) and raisins.
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum/Geology of National Parks module. Students calculate the haze index and standard visual range from concentrations of particulate matter.
In this lab activity, students determine density differences of water samples with varying temperature and salinity levels. Students synthesize information to predict the effects of oil in given water samples.
Density, Isostasy, and Topography Anne Egger, Stanford University The original activity Density, Isostasy, and Topography already exists within the SERC website. This page describes how this activity can be used ...
A lab where the students study the density of pennies. They will discover the limitations of measurements and the value of multiple trials.
This activity is a classroom experiment where students make observations, state hypothesis and carry out an investigation to draw conclusions.
This activity is a demonstration proving that carbon dioxide is more dense than air which leads to a deeper understanding of the term density.
This is an integration of science leaf observations with musical composition for early elementary students.
