Have your class supplement their knowledge on the Himalaya mountain range. In a brief handout, they read about the land masses that collided to form the Himalayas and other mountain ranges. It  also touches briefly on the Earth's...

Students explore the various global climates and apply cultural adaptations of the peoples in various zones due to climate.

Students give examples of erosion and weathering processes. They determine causes of America's Dust Bowl phenomena.Students define erosion as the condition in which the earth's surface is worn away by the action of water and wind.

Students compare the weathering of different-sized materials. Comparisons are made and data analyzed to reach conclusions about the process of weathering. Applications can be made for the higher grades.

As an experiment is demonstrated for them, students write down their observations and brainstorm questions that can help them understand what they saw. After watching the experiment again—which demonstrates a soda can collapsing due to...

Fourth graders examine the process of photosynthesis. Given websites about plant life, 4th graders retrieve and record accurate information about the parts of the plant and photosynthesis. Students solve a "Plant Life Mystery" from...

In this energy worksheet, students review the processes that create energy for a cell: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. This worksheet has 11 fill in the blank and 14 short answer questions.

Students explore protein synthesis through creative expression. They constructa three dimensional, move-able model of protein synthesis depicting all of the processes involved, from replication to the production of the protein.

Fourth graders create autobiographical bookets using an already written rough draft. Using illustrations, scanned photos, and word processing software, they type and print their booklet to share with their class.

Students identify the structures that actually assort independently. They are taught how gene maps are produced. Students compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis. They are shown their (mitosis and meiosis) significane to sexual...

In this pivot worksheet, students explore the elimination process, and write a matrix in upper triangular form. They identify equivalent systems. This four-page worksheet contains examples, explanations, and approximately ten problems.

Students investigate the process of osmosis using  fresh potato cuttings in saline solution. In this biology activity, students explain the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. They collect data...

In this PowerPoint, students compete in a quiz show game similar to Jeopardy in which they generate questions to match science facts in a number of categories. Science concepts covered include plants, animals, and matter. Due to the vast...

Students use the scientific process to show that when various surfaces are exposed to similar environmental conditions, surface temperatures may vary. They examine the "urban heat island" phenomenon and analyze why it increases energy...

Students explore the process of creating a Powerpoint presentation. They choose a "How to" topic, conduct research, organize their ideas, and develop and present their Powerpoint presentation.

Students differentiate graphical representations looking for the bias. They use a systematic process in order to solve problems. Students explain how a problem is solved and the steps involved. Even deeper than this is giving the...

Students explore materials and experiment with stencil process. Students study positive verses negative shape. They experiment with color planning and learn what happens when colors overlap. They work with personal symbols and/or...

Students problem solve logic problems using a step by step process in which they act out a problem. They write down each step to of the logic problem to follow a chain of reasoning. They recognize logic arguments after completing the...

Students explore the mesosphere and lower thermosphere globally and achieve a major improvement in our understanding of the fundamental processes governing the energetics, chemistry, dynamics, and transport of the atmospheric region....

Students build an understanding of the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere and its local and global processes influencing climate and air quality. They analyze air masses and the life cycle of weather systems.

Young scholars analyze Mosaic art and identify the tessellation process. In this Mosaic art lesson, students read information about Mosaic art and the tessellation process. Young scholars compare mosaics from various civilizations and...

Young scholars build an understanding of the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere and its local and global processes influencing climate and air quality. They analyze global atmospheric changes including changes in CO2, CH4, and...

Students utilize six different types of study skills as they review material for a final exam. They are graded on the exam and on the study process for the exam.

Students explore the process of estivation, hibernation and torpor and the ways that frogs adapt to seasonal weather changes.
