Students describe the changes that have affected the Missouri River over the past 200 years by identifying transformations in this area's atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. They research online in groups assigned to...

High schoolers explore changes in the Missouri River. In this Missouri River lesson, students discover that changes in the atmosphere cause changes in the river. High schoolers search the Internet for information about the Missouri River...

Students read about Alaska's physical systems and determine how Alaska's physical makeup has impacted its history. They create timelines of their particular physical system.

Pupils use raw data to make a climatograph; they explain the process of orographic precipitation and the concept of a rain shadow.

Students examine and describe the four physical systems of the Earth. Using two of the systems, they practice their writing skills and use vocabulary associated with the different types of landforms. They predict the types of shelters...

Students identify the watershed in which their school is located. They use maps to locate their homes and school. They define and use the correct vocabulary.

Learners explore the impact of global warming. In this oceanography lesson, students investigate global climate change and write reaction papers about their research findings.

Students explore the definitions relevant to Karst topography. They develop a Bryant Watershed Dictionary of the special words and terms that are used to talk about the topography and hydrology of the area they live in.

Students are able to discuss the theory of climate change. They identify examples of how climate change impacts the earth's geo-spheres. Students are able to use the example of climate change to describe the interdependence of the...

The earth has four integrated subsystems that depend on one another. Study how the biosphere and hydrosphere interact by viewing videos based on data collected by NASA. This data shows the correlation between rainfall amounts...

A discussion of the interactions between the four spheres of Earth and how they affect weather and climate. The slideshow is divided into two parts. The first deals with interactions between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere and the...

Understand Earth's biosphere which contains the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

In this activity, students think about how various real-world careers relate to personal interests and Earth's systems- the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

A lab experiment in a series of experiments that explores Earth Science Systems. This lab introduces students to the parts of the Earth system: the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and pedosphere. As the students learn about the...

Check out the tutorial which introduces the Earth's spheres. Viewers should be able to identify the Geosphere, Biosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Cryosphere and know their differences and similarities.

An Earth System Project shows the interaction between the Geosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, and Biosphere. This project provides a model of a pond ecosystem and can easily be woven into the hydrosphere unit.

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water),...

Fifth graders develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.

Explains what the four spheres of the Earth are, and the interactions between them.

Students learn to identify the parts of the Earth system and the processes that connect them. They look for interconnections among components of the Earth system at the local level, using a study site close to their school.

Explains what the four spheres of the Earth are and describes how volcanic eruptions affect the different spheres. Also provides a list of events that are examples of interactions.

Get a general grasp on the four spheres, five sub-fields, and two scales of physical geography.
