Kindergarten - Grade 5 | Grade 6 - Grade 8 | Relevant to All Grades K-12


Grade 9 - Grade 12
* African Culture
Created by the World History students at Arthur High School in Arthur, Illinois. This project was sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education. Research information was provided by the University Museum at Southern Illinois University- Carbondale.

*COMPUTER PHYSICS LESSON PLANS, Morgan Park High School, Chicago, Illinois
Lesson plans for 39 weeks, each of which include objectives, strategies/activities, evaluations and references.

*Cyber Mummy Project
One of the most spectacular artifacts housed at the World Heritage Museum at the University of Illinois in Urbana is this mummy acquired in 1989 from a Chicago antiquities dealer. Unlock its secrets with the help of modern medical imagery, a supercomputer, and an archeologist.

* EnergyNet Community Web
An innovative network science project, in which students evaluate their school's heating and lighting systems, and then share their data over theInternet. Students thus form scientific research communities in which they learn about the production, cost, and management of the energy upon which both theirschool and their society depend.

*Holy Cow
The object of this project is to integrate linear functions, quadratic functions, parametric equations, and concepts in physics in a problem solving situation using the Geometer's SketchPad. Physics Project by Evan Glazer at Glenbrook South High School, Glenview, IL.

*Lesson Plans of ADVANCED PLACEMENT PHYSICS, Morgan Park High School, Chicago, Illinois
Lesson plans for 39 weeks, each of which include objectives, strategies/activities, evaluations and references. Other materials available are the Advanced Placement course outline and the Advanced Placement Physics Lab Manual

* Lesson plans for INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS, Morgan Park High School, Chicago, Illinois

Lesson plans for 39 weeks, each of which include objectives, strategies/activities, evaluations and references.

* Modeling Projects in the Secondary Science Curriculum
What follows are some high school modeling lessons and projects spanning a broad range of sophistication. For the most part, they deal with population dynamics and they are biologically oriented, although there are some chemistry and physics models as well. An attempt has been made to rank the various projects by how "advanced" they are, with the first ones being the mostrudimentary.

* The Physics Classroom
An online tutorial covering motion concepts such as kinematics, Newton's laws, vectors, projectiles, work and energy, and momentum. The Physics Classroom offers instruction, questions to check understanding, and a wealth of informative graphics. The material is suitable for a first-year high school physics student. (Tom Henderson, Glenbrook South High School).

* The Physics Web Page by Stevenson High School, District 125, Illinois
The majority of the resources on this page deal with Physics C (calculus based physics). Other physics students will also find this useful.

* Solar BikeRayce 96
The students at Marshall High School (small rural school in eastern Illinois) will design, draft and engineer two solar bicycles to be entered into the Solar BikeRayce USA 96.

* Understanding Mind-Altering Drugs
Introductory module on the biochemistry of drugs in a first-year general chemistry high school course.
