It's truly amazing how people with physical disabilities are able to find ways to overcome their impairments. Their tremendous perseverance is evident in this handout that describes the ways different sports, ranging from...

Young scholars examine the diving reflex response which allows a person to stay underwater for an extended period of time. They complete an experiment to compare resting pulse rate and pulse rate when their face is submerged in water.

Students, with dive partners, explore coral reefs through scuba diving. They also explore radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry.

Students examine the potential health dangers of mountain climbing in high altitudes and deep-sea diving. They write a health and safety column for a fictional magazine about extreme outdoor sports that explains the risks involved in...

Students make a submarine from a two liter bottle to observe the effects of increased water pressure in deeper water. They discover that water has weight and can cause objects to submerge.

In this journal writing worksheet, students pretend they are on vacation exploring a Coral Reef. They describe what they would see on the journal pages, using as many as they need. They make a cover, draw a picture that goes with their...

Will your next buoyancy lab rise to the occasion? Make a splash with action figure divers! Teams of young physicists explore the relationship between mass and buoyancy by adding weights or balloons to achieve a diver that neither sinks...

A short video shows how a scuba divers' equipment relates to major parts of a fish. Learners draw two fish and identify what aspects are the same and which are different. The scholars then draw a scuba diver, making sure they provide all...

Students consider the limitations of deep water oceanography and design an underwater habitat to support scientists while they complete long term studies under the ocean. In this engineering lesson, students are introduced to the...

For this mazes worksheet, students analyze the best path to help a merganser dive to catch its dinner while diving into a maze.

Students, while diving into a diverse pool of activities, examine the ways in which choices that you make today determine your future health and well-being. The examination of materials begin with Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs."

In this mazes worksheet, students determine the most efficient path in a maze to help a long-tailed duck dive into the maze to find its dinner of crabs and shrimp.

A myth is a story that explains something in nature or society. Dive into the study of mythology as you read The Golden Flower with your class. Charts are used to define the characteristics of myths as well as to determine the main point...

Third graders investigate the three zones of the ocean and the plants and animals that live in each zone. Projects produced are shared with classmates in a share circle where the unique features of the animal and zone selected are...

Young scholars receive copies of the Time Series Observations to use for note-taking. They work in small groups to discuss what they see when the outside lights of Alvin are turned on, and off, where the bacteria may have come from. They...

Students participate in a mini lab to explore density.  In this density lesson students view a demonstration and answer questions. 

Students discover the wonders of coral reefs while listening to a book about them. In a Reading Rainbow video activity, they simulate a dive, check equipment and explore a reef. Role-playing as marine biologists, students uncover...

Students explore a simulated ocean floor. In this environmental lesson plan, students take on roles of an ocean dive team exploring the ocean floor. Dive logs will be created and the students will explore their sections of simulated...

In this science worksheet, students find the names of 10 dabbling ducks in a word search puzzle. These are ducks that do not dive, but feed on the surface of the water. The word bank has a detailed color drawing of each duck.

Students explore the theory of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by performing hands-on, practical application experiments. In this harmonic motion lesson, students use strings of various lengths and bobs of different weights to create a...

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. In this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

Of course you're going to be solving an equation—it's algebra class after all. The 14th installment of a 35-part module first has pupils converting logarithmic equations into equivalent exponential equations. The conversion allows for...

Connect geometric sequences to exponential functions. The 26th installment of a 35-part module has scholars model situations using geometric sequences. Writing recursive and explicit formulas allow scholars to solve problems in context.

Now that we know about permutations and combinations, we can finally solve probability problems. The fourth installment of a 21-part module has future mathematicians analyzing word problems to determine whether permutations or...
