Young scholars accurately measure the relationship between radiation dose and either survival or some genetic event such as mutation or recombination. They investigate the damage that was done to the DNA molecule as a result of exposure...

Students practice alphabetizing while categorizing sources of basic agricultural products. They discuss agricultrual products, discover where they are grown and draw a simple agricultural scene on poster board.

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Pupils investigate weather and how to forecast it. They discuss the three types of clouds and the kind of weather they bring. After setting up a database, they reearch weather-related websites to check cloud conditions and weather...

Students discover if information in an article is accurate and current. In this science instructional activity, students read the story carefully and decide on what the subject of the article is. Students search the Internet to see...

In this bacteria worksheet, students read several elements of bacterium cells, their diet, types, locations, reproduction, resting stages, effects of, and classification. Students also study a cross-section of bacterium cells.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for an earth science unit on the earth's layers. Review questions are included at the bottom of the study guide.

This resource is a place for learning all about the Earth--the Earth's layers, its history, rocks and minerals, and interesting Earth science facts and discoveries. Explore, ask questions, find information, and meet American Museum of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identifies the various layers of the Earth, including the crust, mantle, core, lithosphere, and asthenosphere.

Offers an easy to understand explanation of the earth's layers and the fossils we find in each layer. It explains how these are interpreted by scientists to represent the evolution of animal and plant life through the geological eras.

Find out about the interior structure of the Earth and the role of seismic waves as they move through Earth's layers. The research details both compositional layers as well as mechanical layers.

Find lots of information about our planet Earth here. Covers basic facts, Earth's history, layers of the Earth, plate tectonics, composition of the atmosphere, Earth's magnetic field, and some facts about our moon.

Visit an active volcano site to find out the connection between the movement of the Earth's plates and the processes deep within the Earth's interior. [58:23]

Explore deep underground and deep in the ocean to discover what lies beneath the surface. Don't stop until the final destination: the core of the Earth.

This instructional activity will help students visualize the Earth's crust (lithosphere), mantle, and core. The students will work in groups to research and design a model of the Earth's layers. Some of the types of models include:...

As part of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site examines a variety of topics related to the Earth. This page looks at the Earth and its lithosphere, the chemical composition of the Earth, the structure of the Earth, and more.

This resource describes how seismic waves have helped us to understand the composition of the Earth's interior. It discusses seismic discontinuities, including the Mohorovicic Discontinuity or Moho, and what we have learned about the...

Take a journey to the center of the Earth and learn about the structure, material properties, and conditions inside our planet.

Explore the layers of the Earth through this interactive quiz.

This is a website not only on the mantle but also about all the layers of the earth.

Activity provides students an opportunity to make a stratigraphy cup.

Describes Earth's layers, which make up the geosphere.

A detailed physical description of Earth. Content includes information on the Earth's layers and geology of the surface, along with links to additional information.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students will recognize that changes that occur in the layers of the Earth (volcanoes and earthquakes) are a result of forces acting upon it.
