Demonstrate how ice floats on water and get the class thinking about why icebergs are so deceiving. Investigators then experiment with mixing water of the same temperature and water of different temperatures. Make sure to explain the...

Students observe how salinity affects the time it takes water to freeze. They participate in an experiment to determine that ice is essentially salt-free whether formed from fresh or salt water

Learners examine how to conserve water. They also discover how to prevent water pollution. They examine the Earth's water distribution as well.

Students explore the stages in the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. They hypothesize about the source of rain and search for forms of water on Earth.

Students investigate the effects of salinity on icebergs. In this hands on instructional activity, students design and conduct an investigation into how the amount of salt in ice affects its buoyancy.

Students observe the melting of ice. In this phase change lesson, students observe ice as it melts. They discuss the process and create a Venn diagram comparing water and ice.

Young scholars experiment with density of ice, and examine how density affects how icebergs float in water.

Students experience why ice floats and the differences in weight of frozen water to liquid water. Students explore why ice floats. They use math skills such as: graphing, applying procedures, weighing and measuring. Students also use...

Learners investigate what happens when land ice melts. They discuss how the melting of land ice is different than the melting of icebergs. Students observe what happens as the ice melts.

Learners observe a model of the distribution of the earth's water and compare the relative volumes and percentages of types of water on earth.

Students predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising.  In this global warming lesson students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their data collected.

Students explore the properties of ice. In this states of water lesson, students examine the properties of icebergs and ice cubes as they participate in an activity that requires them to freeze a balloon half-filled with water...

Young scholars display their knowledge of sea ice. In this earth science lesson, students create displays reflecting their understanding of sea ice.Young scholars research the development of sea ice on a variety...

Students explain how melting glaciers affect global warming. For this earth science lesson, students investigate the change in ice density as it melts. They discuss the human and environmental impact of rising sea levels.

Students explore why the oceans do not freeze. They explain why they think the Atlantic Ocean does not freeze. Students are given background information about what they are doing. They create a hypothesis about what they believe...

Fifth graders use common household items to build landforms and simulate weathering and erosion.

Middle schoolers examine what causes tsunamis and why they all behave differently.  In this tsunami lesson plan students complete a group activity after viewing a video. 

Students discover how engineers use sound energy. They participate in hands-on activities in which they discover how we know sound exists. They identify different pitches and frequencies as well.
