This 8-week Water Unit covering Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth Science standards. This unit covers vocabulary, quizzes, projects, labs, study guide, and test. You go from phases of matter, to the water cycle, to weather, to groundwater, to aquifers, to water filtration. Below is a detailed daily breakdown to help you stay organized and implement each lesson with ease. Example Lesson plan plus slides provided. WEEK 1 – Introduction to Water & Properties Day 1 • Present Slides 4–6

This worksheet helps students learn the structure and function of the human ear in a hands-on, visual way. Students color and label a diagram of the outer, middle, and inner ear using a word bank, reinforcing key anatomical parts like the ear canal, eardrum, and cochlea.

This project is for middle school science students to create either a presentation or a poster about waves. Their task is to explain the 2 types of waves, include definitions, parts of a wave, and include diagrams or pictures. The students will have 2-3 days to work on the option they choose and then they will need to present their finished project to their classmates. The students can be as creative and pick any theme that they want that is school appropriate.

This is a lab for students to not only gain experience to solve for mass, then solve for volume of irregularly shaped objects, but then to calculate the density. Materials:Graduated cylinder Water Several irregularly shaped objects that fit into test tube (Marbles, coins, small rocks, metals) Any random book to measure A block of wood Ruler Scale

This lab could take an entire 40 minute class period to let students investigate what you have on the lab plus create their own investigations. This lab also has 4 analysis questions that the students have to answer, plus a possible horizontal extention lab which is required in lesson 2 of Open Sci Ed 8.1 contact forces. Then the students have to answer 4 major conclusion questions before they are complete.

In this experiment, students investigate which materials are best at keeping heat from escaping. Each group fills identical aluminum cans with warm water and wraps them in different materials such as wool, cotton, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and bubble wrap, leaving one can unwrapped as a control. Over a 10-minute period, students measure and record the temperature of the water every 2 minutes to observe how quickly each can cools. By comparing the results, students determine which material pro

Purpose:The purpose of this project is to build a robot that would be able to go through a course or around desks. You will be using computer skills, coding skills, designing and engineering your own recycling bot. Materials:Computer Lego Spike Prime Kit

This lab is used for modeling the solar and lunar eclipse using a flashlight and Styrofoam balls in the classroom. Materials: 2 skewers 2 different sizes of foam balls (1 small to represent the moon, 1 medium to represent the Earth).

PurposeTo determine which ingredients in bath bombs are responsible for creating bubbles when they react with water.  Materials- 4-5 test tubes. - Water - Measuring spoons - Stirring sticks - Common bath bomb ingredients:   - Baking soda   - Citric acid   - Epsom salt   - Cornstarch -Calcium Carbonate -Lemonade mix Sugar Free Lemonade mix -Olive oil -Sugar   - Essential oil (optional) Safety Precautions- Do not taste any of the ingredients - Wash hands after the experiment

This lab is an extensive lab that pairs with lesson 2 in Open Sci Ed. The students have to investigate different materials colliding horizontally using a toy car. Materials needed:8 cd cases, 8 golf balls, 8 tennis balls, sticky tack, 8 rubber stoppers, 8 large heavy washers, painters tape.

Academic StandardsThis lab addresses the following standards: - MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. - MS-PS3-1: Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. IntroductionIn this lab, we will investigate how different forces affect the deformation of materials. W

4 pages PBL that covers a scene to evaluate and give a report. This is a 7 part project that will be expanded upon where students have to calculate the speed, acceleration, and force. The students then have to create a free body diagram and write a report on who was guilty based on the evidence collected through this pbl.

IntroductionMeals Ready-to-Eat (MREs) are essential for feeding soldiers in the field. They are designed for portability, nutrition, and durability. This webquest will help you explore the origins, creators, and evolution of MREs. TaskYour mission is to research and answer the questions below. Use reliable websites, historical sources, and multimedia content to learn about MREs. 14 questions plus a summary paragraph.

This is the second worksheet to the design worksheet. This is a 3 page, 5 part, 9 question worksheet the students have to answer as they are constructing their prototype.

7 examples of chemical reactions as a chemical equation as well as a word equation. The students must identify the reactants and products for each one.

Objective:Design an MRE that includes a flameless heater and meets the following requirements: All components should cost no more than $10 per MRE.The design should be efficient, portable, and user-friendly.Part 1: Supplies ListResearch items and cost to use in your design. Your Budget: $10 per MREPart 2: Draw Your MRE DesignIn the box below, sketch your MRE, showing the placement of each item inside the package.Label each part of your design clearly.Part 3: Design ImprovementsAfter creating you

3 pages of Design questions to work through that have 6 sections and a total of 13 open response questions.

This bundle includes some physical science standards with computer science standards.

IntroductionIn this activity, you'll become an expert on a specific section of either the 14th or 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Use this worksheet to guide your research and prepare for sharing your findings with your group.

This 10 question quiz requires students to manipulate the density equation to solve for Density, Mass, and volume.
