Plotting a Magnetic Field
High schoolers experiment with a set of materials. They plot the magnetic field that arises from a regular bar magnet. They discover how a magnet affects a compass.
Curated OER
Investigation of Shipwrecks
An internet investigation leads learners to discover whether or not weather and light house location are related to the locations of shipwrecks on The Great Lakes. They work in cooperative groups to plot the locations of light houses and...
Curated OER
Plate Patterns
Students read about a volcano and use the latitude and longitude information to plot and describe the volcano on the map. They discuss patterns seen on the map. In addition, they color code a map according to zones, plates, etc.
Curated OER
Earthquake Plotting
Students become familiar with map coordinates. They establish the frequency of earthquake occurrences and study the location and magnitude of earthquakes. To establish the location of plate boundaries.
Curated OER
Plate Patterns
Students review the patterns they discovered from a previous activity. In this investigative lesson students plot data as a class and color a map.

What Is That Bubblin¿¿¿ In My Back Yard?
Students create a map plotting local sites the Environmental Protection Agency has on its EPA Regulated Sites list. They discuss the need for citizens to, at a minimum, be aware of potential pollution hazards in their community.
Curated OER
Constellation Lab
In this constellation worksheet, students plot given constellations and stars on a map and color code each. They answer questions about the constellations they plot.
Curated OER
The BIG One
Students observe an earthquake demonstration. They research an earthquake and use color dots to plot the location of each of their earthquakes on the large map.
Curated OER
Fitting Periodic Functions-Distant Planets
For this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

Summer Physics Checklist
Students explore physics using interactive resources. In this physics lesson series, students solve problems involving vectors, forces and kinematics. They draw vectors and its components.
Curated OER
Earth and Space Science: Exploring Earthquakes
Students explore earthquakes. For this earthquake lesson, students research earthquakes and identify where they take place. Students use map skills to track down earthquake locations. There are internet sites suggested in this lesson.
Curated OER
How Does Climate Affect Your Environment?
Young scholars access the Global Sun Temperature Project website and research the relationship between the location and climate of a participating school to its building structure. They consider how climate affects the type of structures...
Curated OER
Trends in Precipitation
Eighth graders study about precipitation and graph the information. They look for patterns in a scatter graph and make inferences based on what they see. They need to see a relationship between location and the amount of precipitation.
