Students research Earth science by conducting an experiment in class. In this ice-cap lesson, students identify what an ice cap is and create a biome using a box which measures 1 ft. x 1 ft. Students participate in an animal role-playing...

Students create a model biome to understand the abiotic and biotic factors that go into creating a biome. In this biomes lesson plan, students should display plants, animals, temperature, precipitation, and more.

Students create a model biome. In this ecology lesson plan, students use materials to create a model biome. There is an extension activity that allows students to write about plants and animals and their specific biome.

Students build a model of biome in order to comprehend the abiotic and biotic factors that are prevalent in a biome. In this hands on building lesson, students use a box to build a biome. . Students decorate the inside and...

Students choose a school in their state to compare their weather to. They also describe the differences between country, state, and a city. They can make flashcards to help them remember the important terms and concepts.

Fourth graders present information of people, places, and environments. They collect, organize, and analyze date to use with these representations.

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...

Presents a great collection of maps all having to do with Brazil. There are country maps, city maps, and thematic maps that cover topics such as politics, geography, economy, land use, population, climate, and more.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson map skills are reinforced by identifying physical features in Germany. Mountains, rivers, lakes, and land elevation are discussed. Political maps identify population and cities.

Rainforests at the Crossroads: Explore the topographic map of Barro Colorado Island (BCI); find the elevations of different locations and how far apart they are. Also determine the steepness of the land by observing the contour lines on...
