Buoyancy Science Kit

Description:This unit provides students with the opportunity to observe the phenomena of buoyancy. Students will engage in inquiry about why some things sink and some things float. Students will explore properties of materials. Students will plan and construct their own floating containers from clay and compare it to containers already constructed. Students will experiment with their boats and the concept of displacement. Students will also measure the buoyant force in water using fishing bobbers and a rubber band scale that they construct out of K’nex. The science skills emphasized in Buoyancy are collecting data, manipulating, observing, and predicting.

This collection is available as downloadable PDFs, but portions of the content are found in wiki format (see WIKI Learning Experiences and Resources) which can be edited or built up with other materials on the same topic by members of the Curriki community.

Numbers

Description:We love numbers. In this collection, we will put resources about numbers.

Natural number, successor of a natural number, prime number, composite number, prime factorization, factors, proper factors, sum of factors, sum of proper factors, deficient number, perfect number, abundant number, square number, cubic number, triangular number, factorial number, Fibonacci number, palprime, emirp, atomic numbers of atoms (number of protons), et cetera, et cetera.

As Gaia turns we will add alakazams about whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and other numbers.

Metric Backpack

Description:I greatly prefer the elegant, simple, easy to learn and teach International System of Units (meter, kilogram, et cetera) to the klutzy, complicated, hard to learn and teach United States Common System of units (foot, slug, et cetera). – Laran Stardrake

As our tiny contribution to metric enlightenment, we are writing Metric Backpack, tools & toys to help learners learn, and teachers teach, the International System of units, commonly called the metric system in the USA. We hope you find this information interesting, useful, et cetera. We will appreciate it greatly if you inform us of any mistakes.

Mass and Volume

Description:To familiarize students with basic lab skills, as well as integrate math into science, we begin this unit with two hands on laboratory activities. Students will learn the techniques of massing objects, measuring volume and displacement, and identifying the meniscus of a liquid. The difference between mass and weight is addressed, and demonstrated through the use of differences in gravity on other planets. Finally, students will design an experiment to determine the volume of a paperclip.
