In this science worksheet, students look for the answers to the twelve questions related to the concept of wind and how it effects our environment.

In this math activity, middle schoolers examine the fractional parts in order to determine the degree equivalent within a circle. Then they do the same using drawn circles.

Students explore the evolution of time measurement, and explain the relationship of sunrise/sunset to length of daylight. They collect data and calculations to determine length of daylight during a given day.

Students explain that many different cultures across the world developed their own reasoning for the weather around them. They explore the different cultural beliefs of the sun's cycle and to create their own story of the sun's movement.

Students investigate the concepts dealing with the motions of celestial objects, the ancient origins of the Zodiac and the science behind the Zodiac.

Fourth graders observe Moon and its features, and record results both in written form and in a drawing on the given template.

Students graph 40 days of high and low tide data for a site in Baja, Mexico near the Wetlands & Fisheries Live! research center. They identify patterns in the data and finally to make a connection between tidal heights and the phase...

Pupils are able to read and also use a variety of timetables and charts. They perform calculations with time, including 24-hour clock times and time zones. These are very important concepts that Students probably have to bear in mind...

Students review the terms and concepts: evolution, selection, biotic, and abiotic factors. They come up with hypotheses about limpet shell types based on what we discuss about intertidal environments. Students use ratios to compare...

Students investigate the many uses and features of maps and globes and locate where they live on both. In this map lesson, student play a travel game and create their own maps to explore states, continents, countries, and islands.

Students create shadows. In this shadow casting lesson, students read books about shadows, view a demonstration on shadow casting and then practice shadow casting on their own. Students cast a shadow using the position of the sun.

Learners explore space science by participating in a constellation identification activity. In this astronomy lesson, students view star charts based on the different seasons and define a list of astronomy related terms. Learners...

Learners build sundials and observe changes in shadows over the course of one or more days. They identify patterns in the shadows and discuss how shadows may be used to tell time.

In this seasons activity, students compare 24 hour filmstrips for a single day in Canada, the U.S.A., and the Arctic Circle to determine the different seasons. This activity has 12 fill in the blank.

Students solve time zone problems. In this time zone lesson, students view a time zone map and learn about the 24 time zones. Students are given a worksheet where they compute the time in different areas.

Learners discuss radiant energy from the sun, performing a simple experiment with sun glasses and bright light to demonstrate the concept. Students further participate in simple in-class experiments to demonstrate: air density as it...

Learners explore the concept of daylight. In this daylight instructional activity, students compare the amount of daylight on a particular day in Anchorage compared with daylight where they live. Learners color maps of the US according...

Students illustrate a First Nations' legend.  In this legend of bears lesson, students read several legends which involve bears and groups of stars or constellations. After reading, students illustrate portions of the stories....

For this science worksheet, 4th graders complete multiple choice questions about day lengths, light and dark, food, recycling, and more. Students complete 25 questions.

Students collect and analyze data relating to seasonal changes. They view a video, research web sites and build a sundial to collect their data.

Learners talk or read about the way the moon travels across the sky. They then look at the picture of where the moon is and draw where it will be in the picture, later in the evening. Note: The instructional activity is intended for...

Upper-elementary astronomers take on the role of interplanetary real estate salesmen. They research an assigned planet and create a PowerPoint to persuade the rest of the class to purchase property and move there. This fun project would...

Students explore mass, volume, and weight. For this science and measurement lesson, students compare volume, mass, and weight after listening to the teacher's description of each. Students explore different scales and balances and...

There are some really nice diagrams and facts regarding the atmosphere and regulation of energy levels in this PowerPoint. It would be wise to double-check some of the details, but these slides would provide a nice visual recap of...
