Students create a print using multiple blocks, utilize elements and principles of design in creating a strong design, and demonstrate skill in carving the block and registration of colors. They show appreciation and awareness of the work...

Students explore that volcanoes produce rocks.

Pupils identify sources of food and the bacteria associated with them. They comprehend how bacteria in the food chain can cause disease. Students comprehend the importance of proper food-hygiene practices throughout the many stages of...

Young scholars describe major topographic features on the Patton Seamount, and interpret two-dimensional topographic data. They create three-dimensional models of landforms from two-dimensional topographic data.

Young scholars conduct investigations to observe formations of precipitates, then create models of developing hydrothermal vents. They compare the models with the actual hydrothermal vents developing along the Galapagos Rift.

Students explore the ways Earth's surface is shaped by hydrologic, climate and tectonic forces by participating in a whole class discussion. They respond to prompts that lead them to conclusions about the relationships between landforms...

Students test evidence for the existence of Pangaea in the Earth's past. They create a current map of the Earth's continents and put them together like a puzzle. They compare this result to a a picture of the shape of Pangaea.

In this evolution worksheet, students review the geological time scale and how evolution has taken place over time. This worksheet has 13 fill in the blank questions.

Fifth graders investigate the behavior of magnetism using magnets. They discuss magnetic force, and conduct an experiment, testing how many paper plates can be stacked together before the force of the magnetic field no longer affects a...

First graders discover plate tectonics. They observe the forces of erosion. They observe the forces of weathering. They state three ways the earth changes. They record observations and make conclusions about their observations.

Third graders use a variety of hands-on activities to increase their understanding of synonyms. They exchange synonym plates with other groups and complete synonym puzzles by using the dictionary.

Students create their own collagraph relief plate and print. Using basic shapes, they develop a center of interest within their relief plate. They also create a non-objective design with shapes using the principles of design. They are...

Students explore the concept of congruency. In this fractions lesson plan, students use paper plates to practice recognizing congruent parts as they make folds and cuts to represent equal parts.

Students make trilobite masks out of paper plates.

Eighth graders examine the forces that are constantly acting on the Earth. They describe the theory of tectonic plates and demonstrate the two kinds of earthquake waves. They also examine the role of volcanoes in the structure of the...

Students isolate three species of bacteria using the plate streak method, implement sterile microbiology techniques, and produce pure cultures of each microorganism at the end of this exercise. They write a descriptive paragraph for each...

Fourth graders examine the required combinations of plates and predict which combination will generate the most and least current and voltage. They use an ammeter and experiment with combinations of their own testing and record each...
