Background: Over the past two weeks we have studied Newton’s Laws and completed various experiments. Students will conduct a controlled experiment. Early in the 20th century, the physicist Robert Goddard proposed that rockets would someday be sent to the moon. He met strong opposition from people who thought that such a feat was impossible. They thought that a rocket could not work unless it had air to push against. The purpose of this lab is to investigate the action-reaction relationship throu

Background: A cell is the basic unit of living things. It is the smallest unit of life. Basic understanding of unicellular vs. multi-cellular. Knowledge of structure and functions of cell organelles. Molecules are constantly moving. They move in a straight line unless deflected by other molecules. Diffusion is the process by which the collisions between molecules cause them to continually spread apart from each other. Their overall movement can therefore be described as movement from an area of

The content contained in the lesson provides important visual and factual information about ecology. This lesson contains a lesson plan, a PowerPoint, a video clip, graphic organizer, and lab document. Lab materials are straws, paper and cups. Students are provided with the opportunity to practice interpreting data and analyze results to increase their understanding of the newly learned ecology and sustainably concepts.
