Pupils discuss water management. They examine the water management districts in their area. They complete an experiment in which they role-play a water management manager.

Pupils use digital maps to explore the Lake Bonneville flood. They determine how potholes are formed and describe the phenomenon that created large potholes east of Eden. Students view maps and visit specified internet sites.

Students experience the effects of pollution and erosion on a model of a watershed and explore ways to change the outcome.

Students explore what effects improper waste disposal and water pollution have on the water cycle. They explore how philanthropic acts can help protect the water cycle and keep our water and planet clean.

Young scholars determine if human practices have any noticeable effects on the quality of stream life as measured by the presence of certain macroinvertebrates. They collect, preserve and identify macroinvertibrate samples and quantify...

Students examine how watershed systems are made up, and visit the Susquehanna watershed system and map out the system. They evaluate the order of watercourses in their area.

Learners identify the region of state in which they live on a regional map. They read information about the time period assigned and identify significant historical events that occurred in the region.

Young scholars estimate the amount of water that can be found in its various forms including oceans, lakes, glaciers, rivers, etc. They view a demonstration about water distribution and discuss flash flooding safety precautions.

Students experiment to determine the positive and negative impacts of human activities on environmental change. They examine how physical and biological processes such as decomposition affect soil characteristics while looking at the pH...

Eighth graders describe the steps in the water cycle. They discuss factors that affect runoff and explain the differences between stalactites and stalagmites. They discover the importance of ground water.

Students explore ozone levels. They measure the concentrations of ground-level ozone in the atmosphere. Students observe changes in the concentrations of ozone over time. Students complete a data sheet to record ozone readings over a...

Students share their prior climate change knowledge and work in groups to extract and present key information from large colorful climate change posters. They understand the science of climate change, appreciate its impacts in their...

Students review what they know about non-renewable energy, compare and contrast advantages and drawbacks of each type, such as cost of energy sources, feasibility, air pollution, water pollution, and other risks, and create table listing...

Students generate four statements and four questions based on their current level of understanding of the article from the engage lesson plan. They evaluate the statements and questions that they have generated and those of their...

Students, using directed questions, identify five internet resources. They use these resources to identify relevant information by highlighting those sections that address the provided questions. Students present the answers to these...

High schoolers identify and define Hydroelectric dams that provide us with electricity. Then they identify a variety of methods that have been used to try to help salmon make it past the dams on their journey to the sea. Students also...

Students use a digital atlas and other electronic resources to explore freshwater reservoirs in Idaho. They discover the importance of groundwater and discuss the agricultural, industrial and domestic uses of underground reservoirs....

Young scholars use digital maps to explore underground reservoirs. Individually, or in small groups, students access specified internet sites and research uses and locations of groundwater. Young scholars explore the percentage of...

Students use a digital atlas of Idaho to explore the effects of the Lake Bonneville Flood. They become familiar with how floods shape our earth and change landscapes. Students graph a a timeline of the rise and fall of Lake Bonneville.

Students brainstorm the different characteristics of potable water. In this general science activity, students test several water samples and hypothesize which samples and brands they are. They discuss where drinking water came from and...

Students explore potential issues of a water shortage.  In this water conservation lesson plan, students brainstorm the many uses of water and what life would be like if there was not enough water available.

Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. In this general science lesson, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.

Eighth graders give some examples of chemical reactions they see everyday. In this chemistry lesson plan, 8th graders investigate how much water soil can hold. They collect data and compare results with others.

Eighth graders examine how humans affect various ecosystems. In this ecology lesson, 8th graders discuss different ways that contaminants enter the stream. They explain the consequences of eutrophication in lakes.
