Even rivers have tides. Older elementary schoolers will discuss the Hudson River and how weather, water craft, and the ocean cause tidal fluctuation. They will examine a series of line graphs that depict tidal fluctuation, then analyze...

Learners study the properties of ocean water and tides and learn about animals that live in intertidal zones. In this intertidal zone lesson, students participate in classroom stations to learn about fresh water and salt water, cold...

Fourth graders study waves and how the tide affects the earth.

Students investigate the creatures of intertidal zones. They explore the adaptations species make to survive .

Students study waves and how it erodes a beach.  In this energy lesson students complete a lab activity on waves and tides. 

Students conduct an experiment on beach erosion. For this earth science lesson, students create a beach model and use tongue depressor to produce waves. They write a journal about their observations.

Eighth graders study the phases of the moon. In this tides lesson students use the Internet to retrieve information.

Students identify the problems that marine life is facing today. In this marine science lesson, students explain how Marine Protected Areas can help the ocean and the fish. They brainstorm ways to help in the conservation effort.

Students examine tidal currents.  For this tides lesson students describe how the tides affect lives and explain why it is important to monitor them. 

Students work together to identify marine debris. They explain the effect of the debris on various ecosystems. They draw different types of ocean currents as well.

In this algal blooms worksheet, students order the stages of a red tide. They answer two short answer questions. Students define three terms relating to algal blooms.

What is the meaning of sea level? This resource helps your class understand the meaning of elevations above, below, and at sea level. Provides for good discussion on using positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in the real...

In this online interactive seashore quiz worksheet, students respond to 5 multiple choice questions. Students may check their answers for accuracy.

Ninth graders conduct research on the subject of sea water. They use a variety of resources to obtain information. There are helpful resource links listed in the lesson. In conjunction with the research students make inquiry of the...

Students identify the sources of water on Earth. In this life science lesson, students list the different plants and animals that live in the ocean. They explore marine objects in the lab and draw them.

Students explore the main concepts of astronomy through the eleven lessons of this unit. The past, present, and future methods of studying the science are examined in this unit.

Students sing the continent song and locate oceans between the continents on a map. They read "They Earth is Mostly Ocean" and copy notes into their journals. They watch a demonstration of water and saltwater evaporated to see what is...

Students use beach profile data to analyze how erosion and sediment transport changed seashore slopes. In this geology activity, students plot the data provided and analyze erosion patterns. They also assess coastal erosion management...

Young scholars investigate the characteristics of the beach environment and explore beach zonation. After gathering samples from different areas of the beach, students discuss how the beaches work and the characteristic of each zone....

Students explore algal blooms.  In this ecosystem and health lesson, students define and describe harmful algal blooms, then discuss ways in which the impact of these algal blooms could be reduced.  Students work in groups to...

Students complete a unit of lessons on our solar system, its stars, and astronomers. They record information in a space journal, design constellations, define key vocabulary, observe the phases of the moon, and create a group planet...

Students identify and separate the different zones of the beach by observation. They investigate beach zonation by gathering and comparing sand samples gathered from different areas of the beach.

Renewable energy is the energy that is extracted from natural sources, such the Sun (solar), earth (geothermal), wind, and water (hydropower). These sources are renewable because they can be replenished by the same natural sources within...
