Build your own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet. With this orbit simulator, you can set initial positions, velocities, and masses of 2, 3, or 4 bodies, and then see them orbit each other.

Through a partnership with NASA, Google's Arts and Culture are offering a series of digital puzzles for students at varying levels. Each puzzle takes a unique photo from NASA and creates a digital puzzle for students. Its a great way to introduce students to space, but also a great extension activity for any level of student

This activity sets an exciting tone of exploration and discovery, encouraging an inquiry mindset in students that helps establish a community of curious, active learners. Students gain tools to explore the natural world—and are inspired to discover and attempt to explain the abundant nature mysteries that surround us. NSI works well at the start of a field experience, to get students excited about nature mysteries. It provides an opportunity for an instructor to coach students in inquiry skills, by using the language of science and engaging in scientific discussions. For instructors with less experience leading open-ended explorations and discussions, this can be a challenging activity to lead successfully the first time. The write-up includes detailed support, by providing information and strategies for the instructor. Students focus on a mystery object, generate observations, questions, evidence-based explanations and share what they already know from other sources. Once students are familiar with these practices, they can use them to investigate and make explanations about anything they find in nature through their field experience(s).

In this 3-part unit, students will investigate the structures and functions of animals living in UtahÕs forests, deserts, and wetlands. Using this knowledge, they will create their own new species of animal that is adapted to one of these environments. This lesson is adaptable for in-class or at-home learning and aligned with SEEd standard 4.1.1.

In this 3-part unit, students investigate structures and functions of rainforest animals. Using this knowledge, they will then design and create an invention inspired by nature. This lesson is adaptable for in-class or at-home learning and aligned with SEEd standard 2.2.4.

This Nearpod teaches about animals' homes, also known as habitats. It gives examples of why animals live in their certain habitats based on their features.

In this lesson students learn about the 17 types of penguins. They will be able to explain where penguins live and how they survive. Students learn that penguins cannot fly, but they are excellent swimmers. This science lesson is appropriate for students in kindergarten and 1st grade. It takes approximately 30 minutes of class time to complete. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to describe different types of penguins, their living environment, and their survival skills. The lesson begins by asking students if they have ever watched a movie about penguins. After reviewing a slideshow about penguin’s identifying characteristics, students watch a video that demonstrates what penguins look like when they swim. The presentation features a slideshow of images of the various types of penguins. It also provides students information about penguins’ environment, mostly in the southern part of the world and mostly in the cold parts of the world. The lesson provides the exception of the Galapagos penguin, which lives on the equator. Students pair up with a partner to look at pictures of penguins and talk about how the penguins survive. The presentation provides information about penguin’s layers of feathers and blubber to protect themselves and their eggs. It also discusses how many penguins are endangered due to pollution, predators, and humans taking land and food. The lesson provides a map of where penguins live and a review about their essential traits. The lesson concludes with a quiz and open-ended question asking what students learned.

VIDEO CLIPS In SCIENCE 4 This video is very useful for pupils for them to enjoy learning. Can be used as learning materials, in school or even at home.

Produce light by bombarding atoms with electrons. See how the characteristic spectra of different elements are produced, and configure your own element's energy states to produce light of different colors.

In this instructional video, the Hogle Zoo explains how to use the lesson plan "A Night In the Life of a Beaver 2.2.2."

By participating in this activity, students will:
• understand the concept of structure and function and how it applies to a beaver's ability to create and its adaptations for living in a wetland habitat.

This problem provides an opportunity for students to practice counting and to represent and record findings in different ways: "Noah saw 12 legs walk by into the Ark. How many creatures did he see?" Multiple solution possibilities encourage students to be systematic in their strategies. The Teachers' Notes page offers suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and an idea for extension.

Students will measure objects using everyday household items: paper clips, toothpicks, Popsicle sticks, and more. They will work on choosing the right measuring tool for the size of the object, not mixing tools while measuring an object, and starting to measure at the end of an object not in the middle.

The student-facing videos are intended to be shown to students as part of the unit while the teacher preparation videos provide information to teachers regarding the set up of laboratory investigations and other features of the instructional materials.
