Young scholars observe a demonstration of how melting snow and ice can contribute to mudflows. They then observea list of continents with the number of snow and ice covered mountains on each continent and discuss. They then label a group...

Ninth graders research the average temperature and precipitation of a prairie region to determine the type of climate it is, and how it differs from other biomes. They examine the types of adaptions animals have made to live in the...

Compare surface temperatures when the solstice occurs in the different hemispheres. Young scientists draw conclusions from their investigation of data collected using spreadsheets and a globe.

How much do you really know about our planet? Middle schoolers build up their prior knowledge about Earth, its placement in the solar system, its composition, and important geological vocabulary with an introductory earth science activity.

Fourth graders use a styrofoam ball on a stick to represent earth and a light bulb in the center of the room to represent the sun. They walk around the light, holding their sticks at an angle to show the tilt of the earth's axis. They...

Atmosphere aces investigate the microclimates that exist within a larger area. They use a thermometer to record temperature variations and identify microclimates on a map they have drawn. This exercise helps them to understand that...

In this Georgia social studies assessment activity, 7th graders respond to fifteen multiple choice questions based on seventh grade social studies skills.

Students read the temperature from a thermometer. In this weather lesson, students read a thermometer and record the temperature at twenty minute intervals. Students discuss results.

In this sunspot cycle and solar irradiation worksheet, students use 2 graphs of daily total solar irradiance and sunspot activity to solve 3 problems. They find the average solar irradiance during a given time, they determine the...

Students understand that Australia is the smallest continent, locate it on a map and sing about the continents. In this Australia lesson, students listen to facts about Australia and complete a book about information they have learned.

In this hurricane worksheet, students explore the behavior of hurricanes by reading an article about it. They complete 8 short answer questions that follow.

Students describe how wedge and lever makes work easier. For this physics lesson, students analyze experimental data by creating a graph to see the trends. They calculate the work done and mechanical advantage of these simple machines.

Students explain the impact of glacial melting to global climate change. In this environmental science lesson, students design an experiment to investigate the effect of salinity change to melting glaciers. They share their results to...

Young scholars study the importance of the world's rain forests. In this rain forest lesson, students read about the role of the rain forests in the world's environment. Young scholars then write a formal letter to a member of Congress...

Learners compare/contrast the grid and latitude/longitude system used on a globe. They describe the areas which are considered to be a tropical, temperate, and polar, based on knowledge of climates.

Students identify the different forests of the world and some of the characteristics that differentiate them. They explore old magazines, calendars and photos and fill out a scavenger hunt worksheet.

Students identify, measure, and average micro-climatic temperatures in a particular region. They draw a small-scale map of an area to be sampled (classroom, playground, park, backyard) and identify potential locations for...

Students explore climate and weather conditions. Using the Internet, and other activities, students examine climate maps and the factors that affect climate. They examine how climate affects clothes, shelter, food, transportation,...

Students plot the current distribution of glaciers around the Earth and see if there any major trends where glaciers appear to be either growing or shrinking at abnormally high rates.

Students discover where glaciers exist and how they move. In this glacier instructional activity, students work in groups to create a glacier in a replica valley and observe its properties.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a selection about hurricanes and tornadoes, then complete 4 multiple choice questions based on the selection.

Students engage in this activity to use knowledge acquired in this unit to predict the outcome of the trial in Science Court. The students will then publish their predictions on Microsoft Word.

Students participate in a whole group discussion about what Shep Sherman is being charged with? They discuss if they think he is innocent or guilty? They observe while the teacher writes their thoughts on the board and then they...
