Students use the Internet and other sources to investigate tsunamis. They construct books listing several tsunami facts and cite their sources. They read their books to another class.

In this microscope worksheet, students read about how the electron microscope was created and how it works. Based on the reading, students complete 2 short answer questions.

Middle schoolers examine the pressures of group-pressured behavior. In this teaching tolerance lesson, students read literature and view videos regarding negative group behavior. Middle schoolers answer comprehension questions and...

Students simulate p waves (longitudinal) & s waves (transverse) using a slinky and rope, simulate one of the three types of lithospheric boundaries, and investigate plate tectonics at some select Web sites.

Students investigate with radio waves that are used to remotely sense the topography beneath the ice sheet. They experiment with travel time of waves and convert data to distance and depth. As a result, they develop a profile of the...

Students complete an experiment to study tsunamis and its around the Earth. In this earthquakes and tsunamis lesson, students participate in a demonstration to learn how earthquakes impact sea waves. Students study the P, S, and L...

Young scholars examine both the Phillips Curve and the Wave Curve theories of economics. They read case studies which have implications for labor economics as well as macroeconomics.

Students answer a variety of question about going to the beach. They discuss vocabulary words associated with the beach. They listen to some music of waves and seagulls while the teacher reads a short story. They pretend to pack a...

Students pretend the area they live in is subject to wind, waves and rain. In groups, they pretend they are a groups of meteorologists or geologists and are to report on the weather and damage that could occur there. Each group develops...

Students are able to demonstrate knowledge of natural and artifical satellites. They are able to demonstrate the differeence between "active" and "passive" communciation. Students are able to define radio waves, amplification reflection,...

In this coloring worksheet, students examine a picture of a cartoon-style bear waving his hand from behind an upper case letter B. Students color the picture.

In this sounds worksheet, students will review how sound is created by vibrations. Students will understand what creates vibrations and how the ear receives those sound waves. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 9 multiple choice, 1...

In this surfing word search puzzle, students identify words related to surfing. Words include parts of the surfboard and names of waves. A list of 18 words are available to assist students in their search.

Students examine how light waves travel. In this properties of light lesson, students observe how light travels in water, how light is reflected and refracted, and how light is pure energy.

In this long A sound worksheet, 1st graders say the word pictures and circle one letter or group from each column for the beginning, middle, and final sounds. Students write the words on the blank lines. Students then write the sentence...

Students identify methods for detecting and locating earthquakes and analyzing seismic data.  In this earthquake lesson students simulate the action of P and S waves. 

In this salt moving learning exercise, students move salt with rubber bands, plastic, cans, and more, but don't touch it. Students follow 5 directions and answer 2 questions, and relate this to sound waves.

Students study sound and how it is created.  In this sound waves instructional activity students complete a lab activity that shows students the variables that affect sound. 

Learners identify the ratios of trig identities. In this geometry lesson, students solve the missing sides and angles of triangles using trig ratios. They relate the graphs and waves to real life scenarios.

Young scholars investigate the components of white light as viewed through a prism. The multiple colors of the spectrum produced are related to wavelengths and experienced through the creation of a color wheel.

Students examine the concept of frequency and wavelength. They analyze how frequency and wavelength relate to each other by conducting an experiment involving measuring and timing wavelengths by pulling adding machine tape through an...

Student groups rotate through four stations to examine light energy behavior: refraction, magnification, prisms and polarization. They see how a beam of light is refracted (bent) through various transparent mediums. Students investigate...

In this space science learning exercise, students identify ultraviolet beams and what occurs when the frequency is doubled. They identify how long it would take to send a radio message from a space probe of Mars to earth. Students also...

Students use an on line website to simulate the effects of light intensity and wavelength on photosynthesis. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students determine how wavelength of light and intensity of light affect the rate at which...
