Students investigate the features of vibrations and waves. Examples of these phenomena help students understand how sounds are formed, how light travels, and how ocean waves move. Students also explore different types of waves such as microwaves, radio waves, and seismic waves. Concepts and terminology include vibration, energy, wave, light, and sound.
What are explorers? What do they do? What skills do they need? Is exploring done today? How can students be explorers? Following a summary of the 18-month Lewis and Clark expedition, elementary students learn about Will Steger, contemporary arctic explorer. Emphasizes the importance of keeping a journal to record what is seen and heard. Students explore nearby woods and share their discoveries.
These city kids from Boston may not look like conventional farmers, but they’re spending part of their summer getting their hands dirty. They’re learning how to build solar-powered hydroponic systems that grow organic vegetables without soil. With support from the National Science Foundation, Boston College educator Mike Barnett and his team developed the Urban Hydrofarmers Project to engage students in math and science through hydroponic farming and green energy technology. And, because the teens sell what they grow at farmers’ markets, the students get to experience green entrepreneurship. Barnett and his team have also partnered with the STEM Garden Institute to bring hydroponic farming into classrooms throughout the U.S. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Students will learn how light is measured. Visual diagrams and hands-on experiments help students understand how light works. Important terminology includes wave, electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength, energy, reflection, lens, and prism.
From dogs to squirrels to elephants, students are familiar with many different mammals. Students will learn the distinguishing features of mammals. Concepts and terminology include backbone, fur, warm-blooded, milk, and live young.
Students look at the many different geographical features found on Earth. Familiar places are used to help describe key landforms. Students also explore the importance and characteristics of various landforms.
Students use potatoes to demonstrate the importance of washing hands and handling food.
In this episode, students focus on the letter B and number 13. Other segments discuss different works of art and sculptures. Students also learn how to recycle. Part of the "Plaza Sésamo" series.
In this episode, students focus on the letter P and the number 7. Other segments include a riddle about trees, a discussion of emotions, and an explanation of energy. Students also explore objects that weigh different amounts. Part of the "Plaza Sésamo" series.
Students explore the various types of simple machines and their impact on work and power. Students also learn how to calculate work and power. Other topics covered include joule, watt, efficiency, mechanical advantage, screw, inclined plane, lever, fulcrum, wedge, pulley, wheel, and axle.
The Standard Deviants teach students how to multiply vectors. Students also explore kinematics, displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Students learn the concept of buoyancy. In a series of demonstrations, students will make a guess about whether they think an item will sink or float. The items are dropped into a fish tank, and the results are charted. Part of the "Everyday Science for Preschoolers" series.
Students will explore the relationship between plants and animals and the role they play in the food chain. Students will also learn that food chains represent the continuous exchange of energy among organisms. Part of the Real World Science series.
Students learn about plant structures and how certain adaptations help them survive. After learning about plant defense mechanisms, students make predictions about what might happen when one touches a sensitive plant with a feather or a finger. Part of the "You at the Zoo" series.
Students are introduced to the scientific inquiry process while learning more about primates and their special adaptations, like opposable thumbs. Using the inquiry approach, students determine if primates are more likely to be right-handed or left-handed. Part of the "You at the Zoo" series.
Show students how easy it is to experiment while introducing them to the concept of magnets in this video demonstration. Students are asked whether they think an item will stick or not to a magnet. The item is then tested, and the results are charted. Part of the “Everyday Science for Preschoolers” series.
Students learn about the differences between Asian and African elephants and how elephants make a dramatic impact on their ecosystems. After learning about elephants as "landscape architects," students apply the inquiry process to investigate the different tasks of elephants' trunks. Part of the "You at the Zoo" series.
Through observation and experimentation, students will learn properties of forces, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and how pressure affects the world. Real world examples encourage students to explore their surroundings and to discover the impact forces have on everyday life. Part of the Real World Science series.
A Scientist from NASA explains how to easily build an inexpensive planetarium to introduce students to star patterns. The activity also allows students to create their own constellations. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
