Field notes
Activities are grouped by school year and science field, with prompts that connect a manipulation to an observable result: students can change a spring’s load, compare mass and weight across Earth, the Moon, and a space station, or follow nutrients into blood vessels and lymph. The page also describes a stopwatch that records to hundredths of a second and graphs averages and variation. Its creator identifies as a middle-school science teacher and permits classroom use and adaptation under CC BY-NC 4.0.
