Students examine the layers of the earth and the basic composition and thickness of each. Using construction paper, each student models the layers of the earth.

Students identify the geological layers of the Earth. They graphically depict each layer's characteristics. Students label and develop a color key for their exhibit. They create a down-to-Earth 3-D display with Erasable Markers.

Third graders examine the layers of the earth during a teacher led discussion. They listen to a read aloud of "How to Dig a Hole to the Other Side of the World," as they "visit" each layer. They work a worksheet while small groups design...

Learners construct a fault model using the Fault Model Sheet imbedded in this plan. They create a 3 dimensional model of the Earth, and use dashed lines to illustrate where the fault lies. A discussion of faults follows the completion of...

Young scholars examine how there are three layers inside the Earth. They design their own model of the layers of the Earth with a Styrofoam ball. They illustrate the layers inside the Earth with crayons.

Pupils create a scale model of the different eras, periods, and epochs of Earth's 4.6 billion year history. In addition to different time periods, other major events will also be added to the model from fabricated radioactive decay data....

Students investigate oil accumulation by creating a model in their classroom. In this petroleum geology instructional activity, students discuss where oil comes from and why it is vital to our society at this particular time. Students...

Students explore global warming by conducting a weather experiment. In this greenhouse gas lesson plan, students define the greenhouse effect and the impact on our ozone layer. Students utilize a soda pop bottle, floodlight bulb,...

Students develop a basic understanding of volcanoes. They watch a PowerPoint Presentation which introduces three types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and composite volcanoes.

Students explore geography by participating in an illustration activity. In this land-form instructional activity, students define vocabulary terms associated with glaciers and forests. Students utilize pens, cardboard and pottery clay...
