Pupils uncover the nature of volcanoes and locate some of the world's active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes. They also discover how scientists detect, measure, and predict volcanic activity.

Students conduct a controlled experiment. They collect data in an organized manner. Students analyze data to reach a conclusion and communicate findings. They explain how city size, temperature, and pollution is related to the air quality.

Students review and discuss the importance of Boyle's informants and how he sometimes relied on information from those with experience of the wider world to substantiate his scientific theories. They complete the worksheet, answering...

Students organize and analyze data regarding changes in tropospheric ozone and then hypothesize about the consequences of these changes.

Pupils examine how soil holds together and what the effect of particle size and water content is on soil.  For this engineering lesson students complete a lab, record their observations and discuss what they learned. 

High schoolers examine the movement of the water table and saturation zones. They describe the movements of the water table and locate the saturation zones. Students identify the function of each saturation zone. They develop a model of...

High schoolers explain some of the main recent developments in the travel and tourism industry. They know how to access key information from the Internet and carry out some in-depth research into a specific area of the industry.

Fourth graders study the characteristics of five coastal communities. They use logic cards and matching activities to identify the proper community for plant and animal species.

Students examine some of the recent developments in the travel and tourism industry. They research a specific area of the travel and tourism industry on the Internet. Each group presents their findings with the whole group.

Students observe a scientific discrepant event, and are then challenged to create experiments to solve the dilemma.

In this chemistry review worksheet, students answer and solve 95 questions about chemical reactions, hydrocarbons, functional groups, moles, acids and bases and solutions.

Students build a model that depicts how water is stored in an aquifer. They examine ways in which groundwater can become contaminated.

Tenth graders investigate the carbon monoxide level at a fixed latitude to determine if there is a relationship to population density. They download data sets and generate a graph, and find locations using the Earth's coordinate system....

Students study the different soil types and describe the different soils in various environments.  In this soil lesson plan students walk to a reserve and discuss what they saw. 

Young scholars discover how underground rock formations grow. They perform various activities based on grade level.
