Students are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

Mrs. Flynt has designed a 12-day moon observation activity that is best assigned when daylight hours are shorter. Middle school moon experts record several factors, including the altitude above the horizon, the azimuth, the phase, and...

Students discuss the meaning of a day and what happens to the sun as it turns to night. Then they go outside and draw the view in front of them, paying close attention to the location of the sun. Every hour they return and chart the...

Students investigate how to tell time by observing the placement of objects in the sky. Researching on the Internet, they locate the time for sunrise and sunset, the time the full moon rises, and the difference between clock and solar...

You can demonstrate the destructive force of volcanic mudflows to your early earth scientists using this lesson plan. Messy, but memorable, the two demonstrations require some preparation. Use one or both! Included is a link to activity...

Students construct a mockup of a volcano by crumbling up newspapers and piling them into the shape of a volcano. They place a tarp over the newspapers making sure the tarp is large enough to simulate a flat area at the volcano's base....

For this science worksheet, students read about how 11 different animals protect themselves from the sun. Students try and locate the animals at the zoo.

Learners prepare a classroom weathercast and present a broadcast.

Students visit the UBC Farm. For this lesson on various landscapes, students spend a day at the University of British Columbia exploring the farm and trail adjoining the campus. This lesson could be modified for use in any region that...

Students go to a dig where they prospect for bones which simulate fossils. They encase the bones in plaster and transport them back to school for further investigation.

Students describe habitats within ecosystems, describe how organisms modify environment to meet their needs, and identify characteristics for butterfly survival. In this butterfly lesson plan, students explore all aspects of the...

In this Earth science worksheet, 4th graders answer multiple choice questions about temperature, weather instruments, heat, light, and more. Students complete 25 questions.

Learners mix solutions of polyvinyl alcohol and borax. They predict what happen and record their observations. They prepare a T-chart comparing Jell-o to their mixture.

First graders explore why the sun and moon seems to disappear and reappear creating day and night.

Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.

Learners predict, observe and draw conclusions while working on an experiment with "slime." Students accurately record observations and draw conclusions about the experiment.

Fourth graders participate in an activity dealing with the environment.

Students participate in a demonstration that helps them visualize mudflows and how they move.  In this exploratory lesson students simulate a mudflow and create an avalanche.

Students create weather journals. In this weather science lesson plan, students use digital cameras to record the daily weather and write a paragraph in a weather journal.

Fifth graders work in pairs in order to research an assigned volcano and answer specific questions that are listed in this lesson plan. They use a teacher created database to answer questions regarding specific characteristics of...

Students plant sprout seeds and make observations. In this lesson about planting, students make observations, predictions, and record information. Students analyze how the sprout plants grow and determine if any of the four sprout seeds...
