Students identify the potential hazards to the water supply. In this ecology lesson, students role play a town hall meeting to discuss the proposal of a storage tank construction in their place. They present their arguments and...

Given a very realistic challenge, your young geometers design residential fish tanks in rectangular and triangular prism shapes. They compute the volume of water each will hold. They also determine the size of plastic covers for each...

Students calculate their family's water consumption. In this water usage lesson, students discuss the water they use in their homes. Students complete the 'water wise' worksheets to tally their family's use of water. Students answer...

Students study how water infiltration can carry pollution underground. In this water infiltration lesson plan, students conduct an experiment on water infiltration and underground pollution.

Students create a pond habitat inside and outside their classroom. In this pond lesson plan, students create a habitat with animals, water, and plants in order to create a proper pond habitat.

High school physics or engineering classes construct a system for piping water from a storage tank to a water dispenser. They will apply Bernoulli's principle and perform calculations for elevation, pressure, and velocity. This is a...

Students integrate history and science while discovering how salinity affects the density of water. After a lecture/demo, students work in groups to complete a lab activity that demonstrates how salinity affects the density of water.

Students use simple materials to make model sailboats which must stay upright and sail straight in a testing tank.

Students predict and test how the effects of velocity and force of an object or air on water affect the waves created. They diagram a water park ride using their knowledge of these effects to create their desired outcomes.

Students consider the limitations of deep water oceanography and design an underwater habitat to support scientists while they complete long term studies under the ocean. In this engineering instructional activity, students are...

Submarines are the fous of this math and science instructional activity. 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...

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 create a sustainable, self-contained ecosystem in a ten-gallon aquarium.

Students explore the process of making butter. In this agriculture lesson plan, students discuss how butter is made today and how it was made in the past. Students make their own butter using baby food jars and some "elbow grease."

Students construct a hovercraft following specific procedures. In this technology lesson, students explain the physics principles behind hovercraft. They compare and contrast this machine with the aircraft.

Students create a paper marbling painting based on the work done by Keith Haring. In this paper marbling lesson plan, students create abstract compositions and create a small mural with one another of their interlocking shapes.

Students read about the octopus and create an octopus out of ink and a deflated balloon. For this octopus lesson plan, students discuss the different defense mechanisms of the octopus and use the ink to demonstrate what happens if the...

Students observe and identify various waves. In this wave motion lesson, student use a Slinky, noise, people, and musical instruments to create waves and observe how each type of wave moves.

Students explore a hydrometer.  In this gravity lesson students construct a hydrometer and create a liquid density column. 

Students identify characteristics of good poetry and compose their own.  In this marine poetry lesson, students are introduced to several different types of poetry with a marine theme.  After discussing the elements...

Learners discuss fossils. In this science lesson, students simulate fossils within Earth's layers by using gummy fish and bread.

Students design an energy resource wheel and demonstrate how to use it to access information about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.
