Challenge your students to work together in groups as scientists investigating viruses.  As scientists, the students will be challenged to invent ways of safeguarding against viruses.  After the lesson, they'll have a better understanding that: 1. A virus is an infectious organism that reproduces within the cells of an infected host. 2. A virus is not alive until it enters the cells of a living plant or animal. 3. A virus contains genetic information wrapped in a protein coat. 4. …

Satellites have the ability to transmit information virtually in an instant.  In this lesson, students will take a look at how satellites work.  They'll take a look back in history and investigate both how information was transmitted in the past and how the presence of satellites has impact the development of our society.

Students will learn about friction and force in this hands-on lesson.  Students will look at how different surfaces affect friction in order to get a better understanding of the following: 1. Friction is a force that opposes motion, or makes it difficult for an object to move across a surface. 2. The amount of friction depends on the surface type and the force pressing two surfaces together. 3. Everyday life provides examples of how friction both helps and hinders everything we do. …

This lesson focuses on the human body, with a closer look at the nervous system and how the brain communicates to the rest of the body.  Students will be challenged think about how cyborg technology in the form of computer chips or electrodes could be used to augment people's ability to see and hear or help people who have sensory impairments.

Bring out the competitive side of your students while teaching them about physics! In this lesson, students compete in a paper airplane contest and learn how changing the size, weight, and wing structure can impact flight.

Students watch a short web interactive video that demonstrates how the phases of the moon are seen from our position here on Earth. While they watch the video they have to interacte and change the movement of the objects themselves to understand the relationship of the sun, moon and earth. They can stop and record data at their own pace. Based on the students response to the interactives they learn facts or how to correct their misunderstandings. They can watch it as many time as necessary. …
