This was my inquiry based project. It focuses on how the pollution problem in the Chesapeake Bay can be solved. This resource includes the driving question, grabber, and culminating activity.

We live on the continent of North America and in the great country of the United States. The United States is split into five different regions. In this seminar you will learn about the five regions and their characteristics.Standards7.1.4.B Describe and locate places and regions as defined by physical and human features.

This book provides an overview of lifespan developmental tasks (physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional) examined from individual and family theoretical perspectives. It covers topics related to families, diversity, individual and family health and well-being, and reciprocal relationships as affected by external factors.

This 30 minute activity engages students in ordering and spacing geologic history events on a meter stick. Students engage in an inquiry cycle, individually first, then with a partner before receiving feedback on their model. This process scaffolds their temporal reasoning of the vastness of geologic time.

This is a PBL project that used the North Carolina Gravity Games as the basis for students to understand the concepts of work and energy. It was specifically designed to help students increase their depth of knowledge of work, the conservation of energy, power, and the work-kinetic energy theorem. The project required students to design, build, and then use as a basis to prove their applied mastery of work and energy, a working "gravity car" that was tested locally, with the top three entering in the state-wide Gravity Games competition in Lenoir, NC. Note that the project was designed and delivered per the North Carolina honors Physics curriculum and it can be customized to meet your own specific curriculum needs and resources.

This is a set of interactive lecture demonstration questions designed to probe student understanding of single-slit diffraction.

Graphical Just-in-Time-Teaching questions for use before classes in which students explore position, velocity and acceleration graphs.

Why static friction is harder to overcome than kinetic friction. Created by Sal Khan.

This activity gives a visual representation of how we are able to observe many colors in a sunrise or sunset.

Using the scientific method this simple hands on experiment is designed to verify Newton's Second Law.

In this lab activity, students observe and describe motion from different frames of reference and measure the time for the motion. They analyze their findings and develop a working definition of "frame of reference".

Students gather data on miniature cars and use this data to calculate speed and acceleration.

This activity is an inquiry investigation where students gather data on why the Cartesian diver sinks or floats. They then develop a new question and then conduct a new investigation by changing one variable and repeat the altered experiment and record their conclusions.

This activity is an entire-class lab experiment that refreshes the concepts of sinking and floating, while introducing the concepts of bouyancy and density using the fizz from sprite (carbon dioxide gas) and raisins.

How long of a runway does an A380 need? Created by Sal Khan.

What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station. Created by Sal Khan.

David defines what it means for something to be a simple harmonic oscillator and gives some intuition about why oscillators do what they do as well as where the speed, acceleration, and force will be largest and smallest. Created by David SantoPietro.

This lab activity allows students to apply their knowledge of Archimedes' Principle by calculating the maximum buoyant force that a ship can produce.
