In this sentence completion worksheet, students fill in the blanks to a paragraph about a tsunami with words in a word bank. Students fill in 20 words.

Students examine distribution of water and minerals. In this surface and groundwater lesson, students conduct an experiment with fresh and salt water making hypothesis and drawing conclusions about minerals. 

Second graders discuss worm composting. In this decomposition lesson, 2nd graders look at the anatomy of the worm and how it eats food. They have their own worm bin and review what foods can and can not be given to the worms for...

Students create leaf rubbings as they study the parts of a leaf. They describe the leaves and chart their observations.

Eight slides of information related to shifts in the climate make up this presentation. The vocabulary and concepts displayed are geared toward high school meteorology learners. Content is not cohesive from slide to slide, but the...

Geology beginners examine three different rock samples and determine their origin by their characteristics. By making and recording observations, they become familiar with features of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock types....

Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones are the same type of storm, but their names change based on where they happen. Scholars use a computer simulation to learn about hurricanes. Then they hypothesize ideas to prevent hurricanes...

Learners develop a research presentation about rock formations and natural erosion. Using traditional and online resources, students gather and organize information about rock formations. Learners use their information to create a brief...

Students investigate the seasonal changes to sea surface and near-surface air temperatures near the equator. They use actual satellite data to track and graph the differences in air and sea temperatures during different seasons in the...

Pupils examine the conditions necessary for cloud formation.  In this clouds instructional activity students complete an activity that shows them atmospheric pressure.

Students make an anemometer, barometer, and wind catcher to see how wind and air pressure are related. In this wind lesson plan, students use these tools to measure the wind speed.

Students examine what causes tsunamis and why they all behave differently.  For this tsunami lesson students complete a group activity after viewing a video. 

Students explore the difference between the three types of contrails. In this contrails lesson, students make observations of contrails and record them. Students identify the three types of contrails and complete an experiment activity.

Students investigate maps and data to learn about the connections between hurricanes and climate. For this exploratory lesson students describe and graph the 6 regions where hurricanes happen and discuss how hurricanes have changed over...
