Students study the concept of a scientific model and demonstrate climate change models.  In this scientific lesson students design a model using direct and indirect evidence and use it to make hypotheses.

Learners combine baking soda and vinegar and observe the chemical and physical changes that this mixture can produce.

Second graders identify physical and chemical changes of matter. They distinguish between physical and chemical changes. They classify changes as physical or chemical.

Students make observations of ice as it melts. In this phase change activity, students observe ice as it melts in a cup. They discuss their observations and place the cup of water into a freezer to change it back into ice.

Students research and collect data regarding temperature changes for a specific location and find the mean, median, and mode for their data. In this climate change lesson, students choose a location to research and collect data regarding...

Students analyze soil for types of pollen to determine the probably climate conditions. In this earth science lesson, students make conclusions on what a climate is like based on soils samples. Students use a model soil...

Students investigate global warming. In this global warming lesson, students watch movies about global warming, discuss problems in their local community and see how communities have changed over time. Students realize the importance of...

Students explain how melting glaciers affect global warming. For this earth science lesson, students investigate the change in ice density as it melts. They discuss the human and environmental impact of rising sea levels.

Students role-play participants at a panel on climate change. They represent either scientists or policymakers. "Scientists" use the information they've learned in other classes and assignments to present information to "policymakers,"...

Students graph sea ice data and predict long term trends in the data. In this climate change lesson, students use sea ice data from the Arctic and Antarctic to construct line graphs. They use their graphs to predict the effects of global...

Students write a journal entry about a time when they had to make a tough choice between right and wrong. They read read the newspaper for to find articles about people have been in situations that required them to make a personal choice...

In this rusting, burning and oxygen worksheet, students read about chemical reactions and are given diagrams of a rusting bicycle, a burning candle, and a variety of chemical changes. Students make observations and explain the chemical...

Students examine the principles that are involved in climate change.  In this environment lesson students view a presentation on climate change and complete a handout.

Fourth graders investigate the different types of precipitation and conduct a hail experiment. They identify the types of precipitation during a slideshow, and define key vocabulary terms. Next, in small groups they follow the...

Students play a game in which points are assigned to daily activities which require fossil fuels or electricity. They compare the impact their energy and transportation choices have in everyday life.

Tiny scholars count 5 lollipops by ones, filling in the blank in a sentence with the total amount. Have them color in the pictures to develop fine motor skills for writing. Useful notes for teacher about developing 1:1 correspondence and...

Students complete a unit to evaluate their impact on the environment and greenhouse gas emissions. They conduct Internet research, develop a list of their electrical and energy use, calculate their share of greenhouse gases, and identify...

Learners study climate change and come up with possible remedies for it.  In this global warming lesson students complete and activity and watch a video on climate change.

Fourth graders identify a problem and write a persuasive essay to the appropriate audience, to correct the problem. They demonstrate effective decision making based on positive self-worth. Students need to write a paragraph about their...

For this systems of equations worksheet, learners write and solve a system of equations to find the number of coins in the money problem. The steps to the solution are included on the page.

Scientists use ice core samples to obtain temperatures of the earth from 400,000 years ago! The third of five lessons instructs pupils to interpret historical climate data to see changes over time. In part I, participants interpret...

Use a hands-on approach to exploring the concepts of related rates in your AP Calculus class. Individuals explore the effect of the rate of change on a variable related to a variable they control. After analyzing the data they...

Change one variable and try again. Teams build basic balsa gliders and collect data on their flight distances and times. Through collaboration, the team decides on two modifications to make to the basic design and collect data for the...

Give your class a tour of London! Before you get started, pupils can brainstorm what they do and do not know about the city and discuss how they think it may have changed over the years. The provided video shows footage from London in...
