Third graders name the phases of the moon. In this moon phase lesson, 3rd graders listen to the story The Moon Seems to Change and they discuss the different moon phases. They take oreos and split them apart and look at the cream to see...

Students learn about all types of rocks through a unit study consisting of 6 days. They are doing activities such as illustrating rocks, answering questions on a worksheet, reading, and reviewing questions. After the end of each...

Students have the opportunity to both interpret and replicate the different shapes and textures observed in the life cycle of a frog. When students apply the watercolor wash to the crayon texture rubbings the designs take on a...

Learners identify the steps in the life cycle of an island. They label islands in the correct stage of their life cycle and illustrate the process themselves. They also review the concept of plate tectonics.

Pupils review the steps of the rock cycle. In groups, they identify the natural forces that cause weathering and erosion. They describe how sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks might be formed in nature to end the activity.

Students participate in a hands-on activity to investigate how water is recycled in a small environment, and determine how water is cycled on earth.

Learners investigate the cycles of solar activity. They plot the solar activity and use the graph to answer a number of questions and explain the relationship between the solar storms and sunspots and the impact on earth and space travel.

Seventh graders participate in a lesson making observations of caterpillars. They identify different changes in the life cycle of a caterpillar and also understand the final result of the life cycle ending.

Students watch a caterpillar change and become a butterfly. In this lesson about the life cycle of a caterpillar and a butterfly, students prepare and maintain the habitat of the caterpillar. Students observe the stages of the...

Sixth graders research Lake Superior and its ecosystem. Students investigate the lake's cycles of mixing and stratification and how these cycles affect the biology of the lake. This instructional activity contains five days of activities.

Students participate in an experiment in which they investigate the factors affecting the levels of nitrates in groundwater. Using examples, they explain the nitrogen cycle and identify the sources of chemical nitrogen fertilizers. ...

This project is designed so students can learn about the sources of water, the path it takes to get to homes and businesses, and the ways we use water. Students will begin by expanding their awareness of the hydrosphere as they research...

Third graders discuss the sources of water, the path it takes to get to homes and businesses, and the ways we use water. Students begin by expanding their awareness of the hydrosphere as they research the water cycle, the sources of our...

Learners investigate the hydrological cycle. The lesson is made to be performed within the computer lab. The lesson can also be done as a center for students to work on the project as time allows.

In this unit of lessons, middle schoolers examine the role of compost columns and recycling. They create a KWL chart about garbage in Chicago. They also examine life cycles and packaging of everyday products.

Learners study the transactions that trade involves. They determine how raw materials that are produced in one country are returned as finished products. They research and present this cycle for a product.

High schoolers examine the life cycle of c-ferns. They complete experiments on the organisms exposing them to differnet amount of UV radiation. They collect data and analyze their results.

Students are introduced to the topic of child prostitution. They identify the main causes of being directed this way and the international and regional organizations that are trying to stop the cycle. Using the internet, they research...
