This PowerPoint provides a multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank format for reviewing vocabulary and related content following an "earth's crust" science unit. The information is concise and age-appropriate and the font and colors are...

Students use this USA today activity to learn about hurricane season. In this hurricane lesson, students study the map of the earth and hurricane science. Students complete discuss questions. Students draw a map of the United States and...

Pupils identify different landforms and fill out a worksheet where they explain what each landform is. In this geography lesson plan, students fill in a landform map and then use landform words as they describe the landforms.

Students identify and interpret the internal anatomy of the fish. They also identify and define vocabulary for anatomical parts and anatomical functions and forms. Finally, students identify and interpret the differences in fish...

Students create a mental map of San Francisco. They compare it with actual topographical maps of the city. Then they label various locations on the San Francisco Hillshade map and locate watershed boundaries.

Students discover their absolute and relative place in space relative to water and create a book sequencing that space from most specific to most general.

Fourth graders investigate the concepts of looking at sets of data. The focus of the study is upon the local weather of Utah. They study the weather found in the city and in the country and make comparisons based upon geographical location.

In these environment worksheets, students complete several multiple choice questions that teach them about the Earth's landforms and water.

Students read and make a route map by following step by step directions. They identify and make legends.

Students examine the life cycle of the Pacific salmon and the impact of humans on salmon migration. They watch a Powerpoint presentation, trace migration routes on satellite imagery, and complete mock calculations of salmon energy...

A comprehensive site that provides information on the characteristics of the ocean floor, continental margin and rise, deep ocean basin, and the mid-ocean ridge. A quick quiz follows at the end of this site.

A deep look at ocean circulation returns a surprise: Currents transport water - and non-degradable, floating plastic - between the ocean basins. Thus, some of the plastic in the South Atlantic "garbage gyre" was actually thrown away in...

A wealth of facts is presented in this article on the Arctic Ocean. Content covered includes the area, natural resources, climate, terrain and much more.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Get a visual of how a divergent boundary can cause a rift valley to form in the ocean on this site. Test your knowledge of the mid-ocean ridge on this page.

What do sequences of sedimentary rocks tell us about how sea level has changed? Learners will use a tube and bead (or ball) model to visualize and predict how changes in sea level can control the lateral and vertical facies distribution...

The PALEOMAP Project illustrates the plate tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years. Includes virtual 3D paeloglobes.

In this experiment, students look at Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins, or DHABs, that are present in the Eastern Mediterranean, and make a model of a DHAB to investigate how liquids that have different densities can form layers. This...

This resource page contains an exhaustive list of pictures and videos of sea floor structures found all over the world.

The following learning module is an exploration of plate tectonics.
