Students research the History of Pigeon Creek (or any watershed in your area). In this environmental science lesson, students conduct field tests such as pH and nitrates. They collect data and compare what they collected with other groups.

Young scholars determine the presence of drugs in water. In this chemistry lesson, students experiment on water samples using thin layer and column chromatography. They determine the concentration of drugs present using graphical analysis.

Students examine how to remove pollutants from water to create clean water.  For this boiling water lesson students complete a lab activity that purifies water. 

Students explore potential issues of a water shortage.  In this water conservation lesson plan, students brainstorm the many uses of water and what life would be like if there was not enough water available.

Young scholars take a hands on approach to learning about conservation.  In this conservation lesson students divide into groups and complete several demos, view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a handout.

Students examine water, its function and how much you should consume.  In this water lesson students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body. 

Students freeze colored water. In this art lesson, students take the blocks of ice out of the freezer, put the blocks into a small pool and watch the ice melt.

Pupils interact with a CD Rom to examine pond life. In this pond life lesson, students access a CD Rom entitled "Sammy's Science House CD Rom" in order to see pond life during the different season of the year. They study the associated...

Sixth graders explore how water behaves on a penny.  In this states of matter lesson, 6th graders observe water as they add drops to a penny. This lesson helps students apply the adhesive properties of water to the water cycle.

Fifth graders create a Cartesian Diver model made from plastic soap bottle and medicine dropper.  In this incompressible liquid lesson plan, 5th graders experiment with jugs of water to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Boyle's Law and...

Learners will work in small groups, observing an ice cube and recording a description, the feel of the ice, and how it looks when put in another container. Students observe changes in the ice over 15 minute intervals, then freeze the...

In this water learning exercise, students complete a five question multiple choice online interactive quiz about water. This is a more advanced quiz that includes chemistry questions.

Learners explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. For this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Students explore why clean water is essential. In this environmental instructional activity, students identify the "powers" we need to improve the quality of water. Students share their descriptions of world-water superheroes.

In this water facts instructional activity, students fill in the blanks with the information they have learned or already know about water and its properties.

In this human needs learning exercise, students review a graphic organizer explaining the basic human needs. Then students complete 1 true or false and 2 short answer questions.

In this living things worksheet, students will write down two facts about what a living thing needs to survive. Using these facts, students will draw a conclusion to how those needs are met.
