Drink in this resource. Young problem solvers investigate a different way of looking at the problem of filling four liters of water from a three-liter cylinder and a five-liter cylinder. Isometric grids help with this understanding.

Young scholars examine the definition and attributes of tributaries and watersheds. They design a landscape which includes a mountain, a river, a lake and other appropriate items. They observe as the teacher pours water through the...

Tenth graders investigate different systems that are used to purify water. They have class discussion about the benefits and challenges that different countries would face with the implementation of the systems. Students explain the...

Students experiment with making a water filtration system. For this engineering lesson, students get into groups and are challenged to use only eight items to create a water filter. When finished, students compare and contrast their...

Students explore water conservation. In this ecology and civic responsibility lesson, students identify agencies that monitor and help improve water quality and describe what they do. Students research these organizations and work in...

Students investigate surface tension and bubbles. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students explore how the surface tension of water is able to support tiny objects that actually weigh more than the water as they collect date by...

First graders investigate animal habitats. In this habitats lesson, 1st graders visit the woods to identify examples of food, water, and shelter that animals use to survive.  Students complete a worksheet.

Students explore oxygen and its physical and chemical propeties.  In this investigative lesson students complete several experiments using oxygen.

Students analyze three different types of temporary shelters and their designs for environmental factors. In this shelter design lesson, students analyze how designers address environmental problems for homeless or refugees. Students...

Students make their own recipe. In this art lesson, students mix dry ingredients with a little water and see the changes made.

Students investigate elements by by defining scientific terms.  For this Periodic Table of Elements lesson, students utilize a glass of water, and powdered fruit drink to perform a lab activity demonstrating properties of certain...

To better understand how solar power can aid in creating desalinated drinking water, the class creates a model still. They will build a model of a solar still, make observations, and discuss how the process works. While the idea behind...

Students identify the causes of arsenic contamination. They list the world organizations involved in ensuring sanitary water supplies. Students describe various methods to mitigate arsenic contamination.

Math in real life IS a thing and your learners can see how when they practice ratio word problems. Use the handy ratio to convert between measurements and figure out the answer when given a change of information. Resource also comes with...

Students identify several sources of contaminants to groundwater. They discuss the movement of possible contaminants through that groundwater from outside sources. They describe how environmental engineers analyze contaminants to...

Learners discover how the "drinking bird" functions. For this investigative lesson, students discover what makes the drinking bird drink by analyzing relative humidity, temperature, and barometric pressure.

Students examine their fluid intake and the types of beverage they drink. In this adult health lesson, students describe the risks of too much sugar in their drink. They brainstorm ways to cut back on sodas and drink healthy alternatives...

Students research natural resources. In this environmental lesson, students define what a natural resource is and explore the life of a single-use water bottle. Students create a waste-reduction plan.

Students conduct an experiment with potato cores and a sucrose solution to investigate how salt water fish process water. They develop a lab report of their experiment.

Seventh graders determine the amount of blue food coloring in sports drinks and plot the concentration and absorbance data. They summarize the data and determine why companies need to know the amount of chemicals in their products.

High schoolers discover the law of conservation of mass though experimentation.  In this chemistry lesson, students experiment with acid - base indicators to determine the presence of carbon dioxide. High schoolers complete the labs...

Students create a model of the land to water ratio in a large group and search for all the places water is used at their school while on a Great Water Hunt. They identify where water can be found and compare how much of world is covered...

Students investigate the importance of ocean resources and what humans need to do to maintain a healthy ocean.  In this oceans lesson students participate in an activity after viewing a PowerPoint presentation on the Earth's...
