Download PHYSICAL SCIENCE Phase Change Free Fall: Energy - Inq-ITS

 VIRTUAL LABS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL PHYSICAL SCIENCE Available
Phase Change LAB Understand the relationship between a ball’s mass, initial and final kinetic and potential energy, when it is dropped from different heights. Understand the relationship between a ball’s mass, it’s final speed and acceleration, when it is dropped from different heights. NOW NOW Liquid Density Learn more about substance properties by seeing if the shape of the liquid’s container, the amount of liquid, or the type of liquid (oil or water) impact density. NOW Mass & Weight LA
B LA
Simulate what normally cannot be done. Learn how mass and weight are related by measuring different, common everyday items on different planets! Projectiles Parabolic Motion B NOW Free Fall: Speed LA
B B Determine how three factors: size of a container, amount of ice, and amount of heat affect melting and boiling properties of ice.
Free Fall: Energy LA
B LA
Learn how horizontal and vertical motion can be separated by changing different factors that affect how a ball is launched. NOW COMING SOON Collisions LA
B Experiment with different masses of balls and angles of collision to learn about these affect speed and momentum. NOW FEATURE Physical Science Mobile Alerts Alerts on portable devices about who is struggling and on which specific skills help teachers focus their efforts as students work in class. PILOTING NOW Physical Science Automatic Scaffolding FEATURE Students receive one-­‐on-­‐one, personalized help as they make hypotheses, collect data, and analyze their data automatically if the system detects they are off track. NOW VIRTUAL LABS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCE Available
Animal Cell Functions LAB NOW Mutations Simulate how mutations in one species impacts the diversity of traits seen in the population. NOW Natural Selection LA
B Simulate how different species spread over a region and how their traits are inherited or may change over long periods of time. Survival of the fittest rules! NOW Predation LA
B Practice working predation and prey relationship by inquiring about the effects of birth rate and initial population size resulting in changes in the ecosystem involving seals and sharks. Ecosystems: Sustainability LA
B Practice working with and reasoning about nonlinear models by helping to create a sustainable ocean ecosystem for fish, shrimp and seaweed. Genetics: Bug Breeding LA
B FEATURE Breed (cross) bugs and use cause-­‐to-­‐effect, and effect-­‐to-­‐
cause reasoning to learn about dominance, sex-­‐linkage, and codominance. Life Science Mobile Alerts FEATURE NOW Similar to the animal cell, learn how a plant cell’s organelles support the cell’s basic functions. LA
B Examine an animal cell at the microscopic level. Experiment to learn how organelles work together to sustain the cell’s functions. Plant Cell Function LA
B Alerts on portable devices about who is struggling and on which specific skills help teachers focus their efforts as students work in class. Life Science Automatic Scaffolding Students receive one-­‐on-­‐one, personalized help as they make hypotheses, collect data, and analyze their data automatically if the system detects they are off track. COMING SOON COMING SOON PILOTING NOW COMING SOON COMING SOON VIRTUAL LABS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL INQUIRY PRE -­‐TEST Available
General Inquiry -­‐ Flower in Water LA
B EARTH SCIENCE Lunar Phases Explore how the lunar phases are tied to the orbit of the moon, as well as how lunar rotation leads to tidal lock.
Eclipses LA
B Examine how lunar and solar eclipses happen, and how scientists predict where and when eclipses can be observed. Plate Tectonics Change different geological factors to see how these affect the layers of the earth, convection processes, and plate convergence and divergence.
Seasons LA
B Learn how seasons differ across the equator, and how the earth’s tilt and the day of the year impact seasons. COMING SOON COMING SOON PILOTING NOW PILOTING NOW Human Activity LA
B Inquire as to how changes in human population and consumption of natural resources impacts the rise in global temperatures FEATURE FEATURE FEATURE LAB NOW Performance-­‐based inquiry skills test in which students determine how additives (salt, sugar and red dye) impact petal redness and the flower’s petal loss over time.
