Students explore the Earth's crust. In this earth science lesson, students participate in 2 activities that demonstrate physical and chemical weathering. Students also play Jeopardy with topics including volcanoes, earthquakes,...

This PowerPoint provides a multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank format for reviewing vocabulary and related content following an "earth's crust" science unit. The information is concise and age-appropriate and the font and colors are...

Students investigate the factors affecting the size of a crater. In this space science lesson, students collect data from the activity and graph them. They explain how velocity of impact relate to crater size.

In this earth science instructional activity, students cut out each die pattern and the signs for each station. Then they assemble the dice by folding along lines and taping the edges together. Students also follow the written...

High schoolers read and interpret graphs. In this population lesson plan, students explore population and population density as they read several data graphs and respond to questions.

In this pollution and conservation instructional activity, students read a passage on pollution and conservation, and answer short answer, multiple choice, and vocabulary matching questions. Students complete 27 questions.

Learners explore the Earth's movements by completing worksheets. In this plate tectonics lesson, students define such natural disasters as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and mudslides and discuss their connections to plate tectonics....

Sixth graders simulate primary and secondary waves. In this earthquakes waves lesson, 6th graders experiment using a slinky to gain understanding of how waves are created during an earthquake. Students record observations in drawings....

Fifth graders use common household items to build landforms and simulate weathering and erosion.

Young scholars examine and research major hazards to humans located in the area of volcanoes and write a general summary. Students must choose a volcano and determine what actions might be taken to reduce risks to a population. ...

Students explore the factors that control magma viscosity and study about the characteristics of volcanic eruptions. Lesson describes collaborative group exercises and guided inquiry methods.

In this volcano learning exercise, students construct the three types of volcanoes using two colors of play dough. They answer questions about their models and answer specific questions about each type of volcano.

Young scholars observe an experiment using common household chemicals to simulate a volcanic eruption. In small cups, they follow the teacher's instructions to make their own volcanoes. After watching a Brain-pop video, students complete...

Students describe how volcanoes are formed. They name the types of boundaries where volcanoes occur. They utilize models to illustrate the occurence of volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. They compare and constrast the...

In this volcano worksheet, learners measure the slope of a volcano and its baseline and summit degrees. They identify the type of volcano, the type of lava and the type of eruption.

In this volcano instructional activity, students fill in a chart with sketches of the three causes of volcanoes, the type of lava from each, a description and any features of each and examples of each.

Sixth graders study the characteristics of volcanoes in this unit. They apply the research to the study of three volcanoes in Japan. They complete mapwork, identify indicators of impending volcanic activity, and describe the dangers...

In this volcano worksheet, students do a crossword puzzle using the vocabulary for the types of volcanoes, the types of lava, the slopes of the volcanoes and the movement of the lava.

Students differentiate between the two types of igneous rock and designate the area the rock comes from.

Students identify the volcano as the primary source of atmospheric gases, to explain the formation of ozone, and to recognize the dangers of volcanic gases through the use of technology in the classroom.

In this volcano instructional activity, students match the types of volcanoes and the types of magma and lava with their definitions. They are given the words in boxes and the definitions in a boxes.
