Students complete an online simulation of the greenhouse effect. In this lesson on the greenhouse effect, students use a website, similar to a webquest, to simulate and answer questions on how the greenhouse effect works. This lesson is...

Young scholars explore energy by conducting an in class experiment. In this climate change instructional activity, students conduct a water vapor experiment in a soda bottle. Young scholars utilize graphs and charts to analyze the...

Students explore the weather system by analyzing water properties. In this precipitation lesson, students review weather related vocabulary terms and discuss how rainbows are created by light hitting droplets at the right time. Students...

In this current events instructional activity, learners analyze a political cartoon about the eruption of Eyjafjallajökul and respond to 3 talking point questions.

Students investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson plan, students create an ecosystem within a 2-liter bottle. Students record scientific observations as they observe the water cycle within their ecosystem.

Students simulate the search for water in Mars using simple apparatus. In this space science lesson plan, students explain how soil temperature affects the cooling of probes. They graph the data collected from the simulation.

In this aerosol worksheet, students are given data for volcanic eruptions and the average temperatures of the Earth. They determine the change in temperature from the year of the eruption to the present year and use the means to...

Students examine various types of charts and discover how to construct a line graph. Using graph paper, they construct a graph displaying weight loss over a five-year period. They draw copnclusions from the completed graphs.

Fifth graders study weather in their community, in the United States, and around the world. They use thermometers, the beaufort wind scale, and simple weather symbols to measure and record the weather outside their school. They also look...

If you need a presentation that describes the 3 elements of the water cycle then this PowerPoint could be a good starting point. This resource is basic in its presentation and formating, and only defines the words evaporation,...

Students map and research imaginary islands located in different parts of the world. They describe the weather and climate of their island and show how local currents, water temperatures and waves may influence the weather patterns.

Students investigate how different surfaces absorb heat, and how the physical characteristics of a surface have a powerful effect on the way a surface absorbs and releases heat from the sun.

Learners listen to poems to explain how poets use words to paint pictures. They use hands-on materials to practice using similies and figurative language to write a poem about snow.

Students create a piece of monochromatic art. In this monochromatic art lesson, students design a piece of art and analyze their painting objectively. Students connect color and emotions.

Students study weather by taking walks in various types weather conditions.

Students view NASA images of galaxies and develop a galaxy classification scheme. They compare and contrast their classification scheme with that developed by Edwin Hubble. They recognize that galaxies are collections of billions of stars.

Students investigate weather and climate through a variety of interdisciplinary activities.

Learners review basic weather concepts and terminology, and explore weather modeling tools.

First graders explore completing experiments through the scientific method.

First graders reinforce concepts about sun, moon, day, night and sky by playing the Sky Jeopardy game. In the end, 1st graders get to nibble crackers in order to show the different phases of the moon.

Student form and test hyptheses using indirect and direct observation. They launch marbles to determine the shape of a hidden object.

Students review weather conditions at various cities and create station models on a weather map.

Students describe the movement of water within the water cycle and identify the states of water as it moves through the water cycle.
