Submarines are the fous of this math and science lesson. In it, learners explore the world of submarines: how they work, and what they are used for. They engage in hands-on activities, watch video clips, and work in cooperative groups in...

Don't just sink the boat. Using a closed container as a submarine, pupils experiment to see what to add to the container to make it float, sink to the bottom, and hover in the middle. After finding one option, learners see if they can...

Discover the statistics war. The 42nd video in the Crash Course Statistics series introduces how statistics have proven valuable during wartime. The resource covers the use of statistics in breaking the German code, finding U-boats, and...

Crazy fact: submarines were actually invented long before the beginning of World War I! As the narrator of an engaging video explains, submarines revolutionized warfare and changed everything. Interesting anecdotes as well as vivid...

What did England and Italy have in common during World War I? They both made use of navies! Find out all the details by watching an informative video about the important machinery navies from many prominent countries used to fight in...

Find the location of enemy submarines with a sonar display that doubles as a polar coordinate system. Pupils find polar coordinates that would be the same location of plotted submarines. They then determine multiple polar coordinates...

If you had $600 million to spend, what would you use it for? James Cameron used it to pay for an expedition to the Mariana Trench, an area that scientists have explored less than the moon. Video offers a quick overview of the expedition...

Amaze your scholars with an activity that uses a Cartesian diver to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Archimedes' Principle, and the Ideal Gas Law. Groups then repeat the process and make their own diver move up and down in a bottle.

Oceanographers participate in a memorable hands on experience about buoyancy. They build a model of a submersible using a plastic bottle and a balloon. Afterward, they answer assessment questions. An answer key and some terrific...

Learners form lab groups and work together to construct a submarine out of a soda bottle. Next, they observe its action in a tub of water as the inner pressure is changed. It is an engaging experiment. However, links to outside resources...

Junior high schoolers explore possible theories for the cause of the Hunley submarine sinking. Through hands on activities, they investigate how to create a waterproof seal. Afterwards, they discuss how seals work and various...

Ninth graders explore the main events, key people, outcomes and lasting effects of World War I. They research the lasting effects of World War I on the 20th Century and discuss the Treaty of Versailles and its effects on Germany.

Learners research the history and scientific principles of submarines. They read about living and working on a submarine and design and display a realistic replica of a submarine.

Students construct their own submarine following a certain procedure. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate the density of objects using a mathematical formula. They explain why some object floats in water while some do not.

Fifth graders evaluate David Bushnell's 1776 American Turtle. For this history lesson students analyze and make predictions about the first submarine invented by David Bushnell after view pictures. They compare the drawing with an...

Students watch a video clip about German submarines lost during World War II. They work together to create their own submarine out of a plastic bottle. They test the buoyancy of the submarine in different activities.

Students explore the similarities and differences between ocean mammals and fish. The characteristics of the life forms observed are placed onto a graph. The classroom becomes the botom of the sea and is explored to gain the required data.

Students compare and contrast submarine volcanoes at convergent and divergent plate boundaries, infer kinds of living organisms that may be found around hydrothermal vents, and describe ways in which scientists may prepare to explore...

Students explore current events by reading about a trip to the bottom of the ocean. In this modern day explorer lesson, students read about Virgin CEO Richard Branson and his adventure to the bottom of the ocean. Students complete...

Students investigate Ballast systems in submarines. For this ballast lesson, students conduct experiments that show how a Ballast system works. Students will then create a model of a submarine's ballast system.

Tenth graders describe roles of key figures in the Pacific Theater of war during World War II.  In this American History lesson plan, 10th graders research key events of the Pacific Theater of War during World War II.  Students analyze...

In this online interactive submarines worksheet, students respond to 11 fill in the blank and multiple choice questions regarding the information included in the provided paragraph.

In this research worksheet, students research the topic submarines to find as much information as possible. Students then answer the sentences about submarine uses, submarine uses in wartime, submarine parts, and nuclear-powered...
