Ourselves
Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.
Curated OER
Sound and Hearing - Internet Research
Young scholars use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.
Curated OER
Moving and Growing
Students know that humans and some other animals have bony skeletons inside their body. They know that other animals have skeletons on the outside of their bodies. They explain the role of both kinds of skeletons.
Curated OER
Circuits and Conductors
Students participate in an online lesson to explain the conductivity of different materials and the effect of changing the power source.
Curated OER
Variation
Students participate in an online lesson to reinforce the similarities and differences in plants and animals. They classify living things according to observable characteristics.
Curated OER
Gases Around Us
Students participate in an online lesson showing that gases are formed when liquids evaporate and that when a gas is cooled, it condenses to form a liquid, and gases move and flow more easily than liquids, and how gases differ from solids.
Curated OER
Changing State
Students participate in an online instructional activity to investigate the effects of cooling and heating on water.

Changing Sounds
Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered by examining the sounds made by three instruments.
Curated OER
Helping Plants Grow Well
Students explain the effect of water, temperature and light on plant growth.
Curated OER
Micro-organisms
Learners examine how micro-organisms are living organisms that are often too small to be seen. They explain that micro-organisms may be beneficial or harmful.
Curated OER
Forces in Action
Young scholars ask questions that can be investigated scientifically. They determine how to plan a fair test by changing one factor while keeping other factors the same, to use measurements to draw conclusions and use scientific...
Curated OER
How We See Things
Students explain that mirrors reflect light. They examine how when a beam of light is reflected from a surface, its direction changes.
Curated OER
Changing Circuits
Students participate in an online lesson to explain how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer in a series circuit by changing the number or type of components.

Does a change in pH affect the growth and survival rate of aquatic plants?
Students determine if changes in pH affect the growth and survival rates of aquatic plants. They evaluate the optimal pH levels for the growth of aquatic plants.
Curated OER
pH Change and Brine Shrimp eggs
Students determine if brine shrimp eggs hatch and develop more readily in an environment which has an acid or a basic pH. They evaluate the pH level which is optimal for the hatching and development of brine
shrimp.
Curated OER
DOES A FLUCTUATION IN TEMPERATURE IFFECT THE GROWTH AND SURVIVAL RATE OF AQUATIC PLANTS?
Pupils determine if different temperatures effect the growth and survival rates of aquatic plants and evaluate the optimal temperature for the growth of aquatic plants.
Curated OER
Temperature and Brine Shrimp Eggs
High schoolers determine the optimal temperature at which brine shrimp eggs hatch and develop. They evaluate the changes, if any, which occur in a brine shrimp culture at various temperatures.
Curated OER
River Study
Students study physical features of a local stream. They study how to identify water features on topographic maps.
Curated OER
Pregnancy, Day 2
Students listen to explanations of what can go wrong in pregnancy and why problems arise. They complete worksheets and define terminology.
Curated OER
Sexual Health & Hygiene
Pupils discuss sexual health and hygiene. They complete a worksheet and have the opportunity to ask verbal or anonymous questions.
