Investigate how atoms can be excited to give off radiation (photons) with models of electron energy diagrams. Explore the effects of energy levels in atoms through interactive computer models. Learn…
…create a protein. Finally, make mutations to DNA and see the effects on the proteins that result. Learn why some mutations change the resulting protein while other mutations are “silent.”…
In this unit, students will explore the issue of ocean acidification by investigating the effects of increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in air and water, researching the impacts of acidity on…
…and interpret data on natural hazards, consider technologies to mitigate their effects, and use evidence to build scientific arguments about how they have affected human activity. GeoHazard will integrate Earth…
…effects of wind, rain, solar radiation and geography on air quality. Note: This lesson is also available in Spanish. What are our choices for supplying energy for the future? Explore…

At the Concord Consortium, we’re always experimenting with new ideas, using new technologies to support classroom inquiry in STEM, and researching the effects on learning. We’re a group of thinkers…
Earthquakes occur worldwide daily, and their aftereffects vary widely, from minimal to devastating. From California to the Mediterranean, some communities live with the threat and consequences of earthquakes and their…
…imaging Most IR cameras are sensitive enough to pick up a temperature difference of 0.1°C or less. This sensitivity makes it possible to detect certain effects from the molecular world….
