Does it feel a little humid in here? Learners assume the role of water vapor in the atmosphere as they explore the differences between warm and cold air. They roll dice to determine their level of energy, which determines if they...

Students explore a variety of microclimates to develop an awareness of why organisms live where they do. Moisture, time of day, land cover, and temperature form the basic concepts of this investigation.

As a stand-alone or as part of the intended unit, this is a valid investigation of what causes condensation to occur.  By limiting the amount of air around a cold cup of water and comparing it to one out in the open, they find that...

Students seek solutions to environmental problems. They discover how to conserve and protect natural resources. They examine the role of acid rain on plants and discover how to filter pollutants.

In this 4-H food science worksheet, learners examine how food works in the body, find out about food preservation methods, and investigate careers in the food industry. They complete a word search, practice food photography, answer true...

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

In this popcorn reading comprehension worksheet, students read a 1 paragraph selection pertaining to popcorn and then answer 3 multiple choice questions regarding the information.

In this advanced activity food science worksheet sets, students complete a food find word search puzzle, and practice food photography as they investigate it as a career. They examine food preservation methods through a food preservation...

Students measure the moisture found in the wood that is used for furniture making. In this moisture worksheet, students practice using the MC formula to measure the water content of the wood.

If the area you live in is arid, or the preceding experiment in this unit didn't yield obvious results, use this one in place of it to help reveal where condensation comes from. The mini unit that this is part of a comprehensive...

Where does the water we use come from? To understand the concept of a watershed, class members study the water cycle and then engage in an activity that simulates a watershed.

Students investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle science lesson, students participate in a series of activities that demonstrate evaporation, precipitation, and condensation.  Students describe their observations using...

Students investigate the effects of moisture and dampness on homes, clothing, and mold growth. In this moisture lesson, students discuss which certain cities are damper than others based on location and geography. They talk about the...

Young scientists from any region can take a scientific journey and be exposed to weather changes that include rain and snow.

Learners explore Earth science by completing a could identification activity. For this weather lesson, students discuss the different forms of measurement for the weather of Earth. Learners discuss global warming and examine a list of...

Fifth graders study the weather and water cycle of clouds. In this water cycle lesson, 5th graders read background information about evaporation, condensation, and the states of water.

Students use a NASA satellite data to contrast amounts of cloud coverage over different climate regions in Africa. They explore how Earth's major air circulations affect global weather patterns, and relate to local weather patterns.

A instructional activity on tadpoles is here for your young biologists. Learners read a short paragraph on tadpoles, then answer three questions regarding how parts of their bodies help the tadpole to survive in the pond. There is a good...

Give young scientists a new appreciation of fresh, clean drinking water. After learning about the ways astronauts recycle their air and water, your class will work in small groups creating and testing their very own water...

Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

In this science worksheet, students find the possible answers to the questions of weather forecasting. The four scenarios are given for the possible answers.

Students investigate the dimensional changes that occur in wood samples when moisture is added and subtracted. The shapes and sizes of the pieces are compared and contrasted to decide which is best for cabinetry construction.

Young botanists examine the different parts of tress and then draw parallels between the functions of these parts and the function of parts of the human body. 

Students understand that a psychrometer is a weather instrument used to detect humidity. In this psychrometer lesson, students build a psychrometer.  Students use their psychrometers to measure humidity activity.
