Students use common materials to construct a working model of the water cycle. They then observe and explain evaporation, condensation, precipitation and percolation as aspects of a continuing cycle. Students also complete worksheets and...

Young scholars examine the major concepts related to the water cycle in this activity. They recognize and define evaporation, condensation, precipitation and the natural cycles that occur as weather. They also participate in an...

Students identify and describe the steps in the water cycle. They discover the sun as the source of the cycle. They work together to create their own water cycle model.

Students compare and contrast conditions on Mars to those on our own planet, specifically, their local or regional environments. The physical characteristics, the atmosphere, and other astronomical data is considered.

Students are introduced to the topic of light interference through this hands-on activity. They observe how light reflects off two surfaces and then meets to form an interesting variation of color on a film surface.

Third graders experiment with beakers of water and balloons to measure the volume of the gas in the balloon. They determine ways to change the volume of air in the balloon which changes its size but not its physical state. By heating the...

Students investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students listen to a song as they walk around and when they music stops, they answer a question based on the water cycle.

Students create a torn paper landscape and use it to study clouds. In this cloud study and art lesson, students make a background art image from torn paper. Students create a torn paper landscape and use cotton balls to illustrate...

Students read and conduct and experiment to learn about rain formation. In this water forms instructional activity, students read about the formation of rain and its purposes. Students then complete a rain experiment activity.

Students participate in an online instructional activity showing that gases are formed when liquids evaporate and that when a gas is cooled, it condenses to form a liquid, and gases move and flow more easily than liquids, and how gases...

Learners create a design for a school garden. In this garden design lesson, students analyze what plants grow best in their school's climate and work in teams to design a garden. Learners measure the existing space, determine the...
