Students design and conduct an experiment to determine the effect of salinity and temperature changes in the movement of ocean currents. For this earth science lesson, students record observations and collect data. They share their...

Students discover the geography of Earth by analyzing water currents.  In this oceanography lesson, students create visual references on a map of the globe where and why major ocean currents are moving water.  Students conduct...

Students label the names, relative temperature, distribution, and direction of flow of major ocean currents on a world map. They also explore and model the natural forces that affect the movement of ocean currents through demonstrations...

Young scholars investigate how temperature and salinity causes ocean layering. In this ecology lesson, students observe and sketch their experimental result. They report their findings in class.

Young scholars examine the environmental impact of global warming. In this environmental science lesson, students design and conduct an experiment about the effect of temperature on paramecia. They write a lab report about their experiment.

Oceanography experts use candy to construct a model of a bio-physical mooring that would test a variety of factors. Each piece of equipment to be included on the mooring is described within the write-up. As pupils gather the candies for...

Students explain the impact of glacial melting to global climate change. In this environmental science instructional activity, students design an experiment to investigate the effect of salinity change to melting glaciers. They share...

Students examine the billfish as a predator in the ocean. For this ocean, creatures, and tides lesson, students view video clips and discuss the sea creatures and scientists in the videos. Students create their own videos. students...

Students explore energy by conducting an in class experiment. In this climate change lesson, students conduct a water vapor experiment in a soda bottle. Students utilize graphs and charts to analyze the results of the experiment and help...

Sixth graders research the average temperatures of different places on Earth. For this earth science lesson, 6th graders explain how the sun's heat cause ocean movement. They discuss how temperature change affects the weather we experience.

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.

After viewing a video and reading an article about the threatened turtles and tortises in The Amazon River area, collaborative groups create a poster or presentation about how we can help them. Several links to other related lesson plans...

Learners study climate change and how it would affect our lives.  In this climate lesson students view a video then divide into groups and discuss possible solutions.
