Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

Sixth graders read and discuss background information and brainstorm reasons for wildfires. They use a Venn Diagram to list the similarities and differences between wildfires and prescribed fires and then track the weather forecast for...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Students problem solve to find the probability of each tree in a small forest to catch fire. In this probability lesson plan, students use the computer to complete this application.

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. Young scholars also play applets about the Game of Life and Rabbits...

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. For this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small forest to catch on fire.

In this math graphs worksheet, students use the table for the 'States with the Fewest Full-Time Firefighters' math table to find the first digit value places for the word problems.

Students discover how to "read" tree rings to determine the date of a volcanic eruption and the effects an eruption has on plant growth. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to date an eruption.

First graders identify forms of pollution and describe effects that various pollutants can have on people, wildlife, and plants; students describe relationships between various forms of pollution and human actions.

Students compare different habitats based on satellite imagery. They identify land features in the satellite imagery.
