The Hudson's Ups and Downs-Hudson River Activity
In this Hudson River worksheet, students read a short passage about the river, compare graphs of water levels at different locations, label high and low tides on a graph and interpret, and answer comprehension questions based on several...
Curated OER
Water and Land 207
Learners examine maps of different projections, mathematically calculate distortions, and note the advantages and disadvantages of each map. They study the different maps and transfer the map to graph paper.
Curated OER
Using Standard Deviation, part 2
Students explain and learn the practical application of standard deviation. They compare cities in the U.S. and discover whether cities closer to the ocean have more consistent temperatures. Useful resources are given.
Curated OER
Clarity And Turbidity
Students measure the clarity of a body of water and identify possible environmental complications that can be attributed to clarity and turbidity.
Curated OER
Make and Use a Plankton Net
Students make simple plankton nets and use them to collect and identify common forms of plankton. They identify and interpret plankton, as seen under a microscope, whether there was more zooplankton or phytoplankton. Finally, students...
