20 Science Academies for Grades K–4, Part 1
The Science Academies for Grades K–4, Part 1 provides pedagogical and content knowledge support for elementary science teachers. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.
Quantifying Changes in Chemical Reactions: Empirical Formula
Given the descriptions or chemical formulas, students will use relative masses of elements in substance to calculate and determine the ratio of atoms of each element in a compound so as to determine percent composition or empirical formula.
Gravitational Force
This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the gravitational attraction between objects of different masses at different distances. IPC TEKS (4)(F)
Heat to Go
This resource provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students learning about heat transfer, Chemistry TEKS (11)(B).
Celsius 4-1-1: All About Thermal Energy
This resource supports Chemistry TEKS (11)(A).
Specifically Speaking about Heat Capacity
This resource, developed to support Chemistry TEKS (11)(D), provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options to help students understand the concept of specific heat capacity.
Projectile Motion
This resource provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students learning about projectile motion—Physics TEKS (4)(C).
Kinetic Molecular Theory
This resources allows students to explore the postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory in order to better understand why gas particles behave the way that they do.
Globally Harmonized System
This resource provides information on the standardized system for labeling and classifying chemicals known as the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
Science Academies for Grade K - 4, Part 2
This resource provides the documents, videos, and materials to participants of the Science Academies for Grade K–4, Part 2 training. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.
Science Academies for Grades K-4, Part 2 (Trainer)
This resource provides trainers of Science Academies K-4, Part 2 with participant guides, presentation files, documents, and videos associated with the training.
Lewis Valence Electron Dot Structures
Given descriptions, diagrams, and chemical symbols of any element, students will show the arrangement of electrons in the outer-most energy levels by using Lewis valence electron dot structures.
Ideal Gas Law
Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will use the formula for the ideal gas law to calculate pressure, temperature, volume, or moles of a gas.
Scientific Methods - Equipment for Chemistry
Given laboratory investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.
Ideal Gas Behavior: Avogadro’s Law
Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will use Avogadro’s constant to calculate the weight in grams of a single atom or molecule of a substance.
Ideal Gas Behavior: Dalton's Law
Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will use the Dalton’s Law of partial pressure to calculate the pressure of an individual gas or that of a mixture of gases.
Forms of Energy
Given diagrams, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify the types of energy.
Law of Conservation of Energy: Heat Transfer
Given illustrations, scenarios, descriptions, and/or diagrams, students will demonstrate understanding of heat transfer.
Thermochemical Equations
Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will calculate the energy changes and identify exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Calorimetry
Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify the process of calorimetry and calculate the heat of a chemical process.
