Students explain the properties of copper as a material for making tools and explain the properties of different chisel points. They gain practice taking notes on qualitative and quantitative data.
Curated OER
A Bight is Born
Learners sequence and model the events leading to the formation of the southeastern coast of the United States, including the formation of the South Atlantic Bight.
Curated OER
Soil Buffering
Students observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.
Curated OER
Making Sedimentary Rocks
Students discover that sedimentary rocks like coal are formed by the cementing together of smaller pieces of rocks or like coal, from the accumulation of plant material.
Curated OER
Rock Cycle
Fourth graders participate in a Rock Cycle game to gain an understanding of the cycles that form metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks.
Curated OER
Acid Rain And Geology
Students become aware of the environmental problems caused by acid rain and study the pH scale. They determine acidity of local rain water.
Curated OER
A Rocky Situation
Second graders conduct experiments with rocks to observe weathering. They read books, examine websites and watch a video to examine how rocks break down into soil.
Curated OER
Caverns: Drip Rate Analysis
Students tour a cave and collect water samples. They measure the drip rate from several locations inside the cave and discover the part water plays in cave formation.
Curated OER
Florida's Springs
Students illustrate how water is stored and the water cycle. They discover how underground water can become contaminated.
Curated OER
Take Me to the River! Using the Black River for Earth Science Review
Ninth graders use maps to identify landscape regions and drainage patterns producing the Black River. They create PowerPoint presentations pertaining to the Black River watershed, its geologic history and highlighting safe rafting...
