Life Cycles

Grade 2 | Grade 3

How can I use technology to increase my student's capacity to recognize and identify the characteristics of each stage in the animal life cycle?

Light and Shadows

Grade 4        
General Learner Expectation 4-9
The specific attributes of light are hard to demonstrate in a classroom. How can I show students what is really going on?

Plants

Grade 3 | Grade 4
Plant and Growth Changes
How can I use technology to teach the variables that affect plant growth, the anatomy of a flower, and the parts of plants we eat?

Water World

Grade 5

How can I teach the concept of water conservation in my students's lives better through technology?

Flight

Grade 6
Air and Aerodynamics
How do I use technology to illustrate movement and forces in flight?

Electricity

Grade 5
Electricity and Magnetism
How can I teach the topic of electricity to my students, when all the primary forces involved are so hard to see?

How do the Seasons Happen?

Grade 6
Sky Science
Why does the earth have seasons, and how can my computer help me to learn about them?

Our Solar System

Grade 6
Sky Science
What does our solar system look like, what are the different planets, and how are they similar? How can my computer help me answer these questions?

Phases of the Moon

Grade 6
Sky Science
Why does the moon have phases, and how can my computer help me to learn about them?

Independent Variable

Grade 7 | Grade 8 | Grade 9 | Grade 10  

Can my students learn how to identify and apply Independent and Dependent variables through a spreadsheet-based research activity?

Tree Taxonomy

Grade 6        

Can my students learn the characteristics of Coniferous and Deciduous trees by entering tree data into a database and then searching it to discover and identify the differences?

Chinook Winds

Grade 7        
Interactions and Ecosystems
How do Chinook winds work? Use this animation to find out.

Simple Machines: Gears

Grade 8        
Mechanical Systems
Why does a bicycle have gears? What do they do? Explore this unit to find out.

Simple Machines: Incline Planes

Grade 8        
Mechanical Systems
Inclined Planes (or ramps) are simple machines, but how do they work?

Simple Machines: Overview

Grade 8        
Mechanical Systems
What are simple machines and how do they work?

Simple Machines: Pulleys

Grade 8        
Mechanical Systems
How do pulley systems work and why is it easier to lift objects when they are used?

Atom/Ion Builder

Grade 9 | Grade 10 | Grade 11 | Grade 12  

How do I build atoms and ions?

Chemical Changes

Grade 11        

It is hard for my students to visualize reactions at the atomic level. How can I help them do this?

Displacement-Time Graphs

Grade 11        

How can I build my own Displacement-Time graphs without using complicated lab equipment?

Horizontal Projectile Motion

Grade 11        

How can I illustrate what happens when an object with an initial velocity on the x axis is dropped?

Ionic Compounds

Grade 9 | Grade 10 | Grade 11 | Grade 12  

How do I build ionic compounds?

Electrolytic Cells

Grade 12

How can I help my students understand what is happening in an electrolytic cell?

Introduction to Redox Reactions

Grade 12
Electrochemical Changes
Is there a better way to introduce the fundamentals of redox reactions in Chemistry 30?

Voltaic Cells

Grade 12
Electrochemical Changes
How can I get my students to understand what is happening in a voltaic cell?

Molecular States of Water

Grade 10        
Energy and Matter in Chemical Change
How can we really see that all things are made up of moving molecules? What are these molecules doing in the three states of water (solid, liquid and gas)?

Cellular Respiration

Grade 10 | Grade 11 | Grade 12    
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
How can I spice up the dry and complicated topic of cellular respiration?
