Students explore reasons for varied salinity in bodies of water. In this geographical inquiry lesson, students use a variety of visual and written information including maps, data tables, and graphs, to form a hypothesis as to why the...

In this identifying units of measure worksheet, students estimate the volume of their bodies using the bath method and component method, estimate the density of their bodies and use a conversion sheet to convert metric measurements....

Students explore the components of a watershed and the factors that affect it. They read a topographical map and use geometry to determine the area of a watershed. Students estimate the volume of a body of water and perform runoff...

Students collect data and analyze it using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students identify different bodies of water and relate the flowing to math. They collect data on the rate of flow and the height of flow. They analyze the data...

Learners identify aquatic insects. In this organism lesson, students locate aquatic insects near a local waterway and collect them. Learners graph the amount of insects that they collected.

Students measure the clarity of a body of water and identify possible environmental complications that can be attributed to clarity and turbidity.

High schoolers use the TI-Navigator system to explore vector fields and make predictions. They also identify what a vector field is and that it represents the movement of water. Pupils try to determine where a bottle floating might have...

Students explore sound waves by conducting an experiment in class. In this sound frequency instructional activity, students utilize a tuning fork in class and identify which objects in class create different sound pitches on the fork....

In this multiple choice worksheet, students answer questions about fish and how fish live. After visiting the aquarium, students chart the different creatures they see during their visit and solve mathematical equations of their findings.

Learners examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Learners must investigate the validity of a claim made in a running magazine. They must identify and look up unprovided information, make appropriate estimations, and be able to convert units. Might be best used as a group or whole-class...

Students investigate air by participating in a class experiment. In this matter measurement activity, students identify air as a gas which consists of mass. Students utilize a windsock or balloon to measure oxygen and explore it's true...

Young scholars examine urban runoff and identify peak flows. They examine causes for different flow rates, and complete worksheets and a graph.

Students identify the different types of bridges. Using the internet, they research information on how they are built by completing a scavenger hunt. Locating a specific area, they determine which type of bridge would be appropriate and...

Students work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the equation to...

Fourth graders study math and the golden mean. In this math meets Greek history lesson, 4th graders study ratios and proportions in relation to the Greeks. The use of clay is incorporated ino this lesson. 

Students work together to discover the importance of charts while navigating. They complete a worksheet and practice reading maps. They create their own nautical chart to complete the lesson.

Fifth graders use captured portions of the Internet ("mininets") to perform research into climate. They create graphs of the data recorded using latitude as the independent variable and temperature as the dependent variable.

Fifth graders explore plant characteristics by viewing a flower and seed presentation. In this environmental adaptation lesson, 5th graders identify specific traits plants have in order to allow them to grow in different climates whether...

Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. In this geometric pattern lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to explore geometric patterns. Students analyze growth rates of pattern growth. Students create their own patterns and...

Students identify the various species of birds found in the wetlands. Students observe and record the key skills involved in scientific inquiry. Students handle and interpret data gathered on a field trip which reveals patterns and...

Students create a butterfly displaying a mirror image of itself to show that it is symmetrical. In this symmetry lesson plan, students go over symmetry in different shapes and identify patterns in butterflies.

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

This lesson is a compilation of interdisciplinary, technology-infused activities that focus on the often complicated and sometimes controversial issues related to toxic chemicals in children's environment. Special emphasis is placed on...
