Cosmic Bar Graphs
In this cosmic bar graph worksheet, students solve 2 problems using given bar graphs that plot the number of galaxies vs. the galaxy type and the number of gamma-ray bursts vs. the burst classification. Students find the fraction of...
Curated OER
Cosmic Ray Momentum
Students describe how cosmic rays achieve high kinetic energy via conservation of momentum.
Curated OER
In Search of Cosmic Rays
Learners compare rates to altitude. They conduct a class discussion about the results.

Correcting Bad Data Using Parity Bits
In this parity bits worksheet, students read about pixels and data strings. Students are given 2 data strings that are corrupted by cosmic ray glitches and they identify the bad data and create a valid data string.
Curated OER
Differential Thermal Calorimetry
High schoolers access prior knowledge of infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, x-rays and cosmic waves. In this electromagnetic waves lesson, students hold a mock trial electromagnetic spectrum. High schoolers present...
Curated OER
Activity Three Teacher Page: Collisions
Students after completing this lesson, identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent; which are dependent. They represent data in a data table and a graph and analyze data and make predictions.
Curated OER
Activity One Teacher Page: Vehicles In Motion
Young scholars identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.
Curated OER
Changes in Force, Motion, and Energy
Eighth graders construct various machines and compare the work done by them.
Curated OER
Speed
Students explore speed by calculating the average speed of several snowmobiles, and predicting which of them is the fastest. They watch a race to verify their calculations.
Curated OER
Astrophysics Science Project Integrating Research and Education
Students determine if the particles are coming from above, below, or from one side or the other by using a circular array of scintillators
Curated OER
Activity Two Teacher Page: Explosions
Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.
Curated OER
Is the Earth Preparing to Flip?
In this Earth's magnetic poles worksheet, students read about the changes observed in Earth's magnetic field and the possible geomagnetic reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Students answer 5 questions about the reading and...
Nikola Tesla documentary student worksheet
PBS documentary: Tesla - Master of Lightning; this worksheet will keep the students engaged while watching this excellent documentary about Tesla. The documentary can be found on Netflix or YouTube. It will take two class periods to...
Curated OER
Solar Storms
Students investigate the cycles of solar activity. They plot the solar activity and use the graph to answer a number of questions and explain the relationship between the solar storms and sunspots and the impact on earth and space travel.
