In this video from the Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations, observe how a laser beam is trapped in a water jet because the light reflects against the surface of the water.

Students explore the school outdoor space and/or school garden to make observations of different objects found there. They collect three objects and place them in a paper bag. Back in the classroom they give clues to their classmates based on the object’s properties so that classmates can guess the objects in the bag. Students then work in groups of four to sort all their objects based on different properties.

Students perform a variety of activities to equal 100 to celebrate the 100th day of school.

This animation illustrates how the hardiness zones for plants have changed between 1990 and 2006 based data from 5,000 National Climatic Data Center cooperative stations across the continental United States.

This interactive shows the extent of the killing of lodgepole pine trees in western Canada. The spread of pine beetle throughout British Columbia has devastated the lodgepole pine forests there. This animation shows the spread of the beetle and the increasing numbers of trees affected from 1999-2008 and predicts the spread up until 2015.

A physics assignment that allows students to address real-life concepts of distance and displacement using their knowledge of vectors and their own school schedule.

Physics Laboratory mannual of UG students having experimental details on electromagnetism,electricity,optics and modern physics.

This book is intended for use by future teachers, written from the perspective of students who have taken Science Methods II. The student authors gathered and created resources to help prospective elementary cience teachers better understand science and feel confident in your abilities as a future teacher.
This book is divided into five parts which align with the Science Methods II course:

Physics
Space Science
Earth Science
Climate Science
Course Materials and Pedagogy

Within each part, the material is broken down into smaller chapters. Here you will find written explanations, video links, glossary terms, key takeaways, and practice quizzes to help you understand the material. This book is designed to be a flexible resource; use it as much or as little as you need throughout the course.

This book offers an introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum using examples of data from a variety of NASA missions and satellite technologies. The 84 problem sets included allow students to explore the concepts of waves, wavelength, frequency, and speed; the Doppler Shift; light; and the energy carried by photons in various bands of the spectrum. Extensive background information is provided which describes the nature of electromagnetic radiation.

In this elementary school lesson on catapult design, students will explore the principles of physics and engineering by constructing their own miniature catapults using simple materials. They will learn basic physics principles as they aim to launch objects with accuracy and distance. Through iterative design and testing, students will refine their models, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve optimal performance. The lesson culminates in a friendly competition where teams showcase their catapults' capabilities, fostering creativity and collaborative learning.

This is an introductory text intended for a one-year introductory course of the type typically taken by biology majors, or for AP Physics 1 and 2. Algebra and trig are used, and there are optional calculus-based sections. My text for physical science and engineering majors is Simple Nature.

The difference between atomic weight and atomic mass in chemistry, and how it compares to the physics definitions of weight and mass.

This is a website about microbiology. Learners may explore information about microorganisms, extremophiles and extreme habitats, as well as the ecology, diversity and evolution of micro-organisms.

This is an interview with 2 faculty members of the Physics Department at the University of Lethbridge about their intended OER adoption pilots for their Astronomy and Introductory Physics courses in 2017.

These flash games can be played in the browser and cover topics such as relativity, gravity, and particle physics.
