There's something about the classic volcano demonstration that can grab any learners' attention. Scholars begin with a reading and grand conversation about volcanoes, construct an erupting volcano using vinegar and baking soda, then...

Students create a fire safety rules poster. In this fire safety lesson, students inspect their classroom and discuss the best way to exit in case of a fire. Students then make a poster stating the rules and exit plan.

What do we do when a dive is too dangerous for humans to accomplish? Send in the robots! Middle school scientists get acquainted with several different models of submersible robots in the second lesson of six from NOAA. Lab groups then...

Second graders discover volcanoes that occur around the world. They identifying volcano parts.

Students identify geologic features that are associated with volcanoes.  In this volcanic exploration lesson students compare and contrast convergent and divergent volcanoes and are able to explain why some erupt more explosively.

In this earthquakes and volcanoes worksheet, students will review how volcanoes are formed and where they are found. Students will describe earthquakes and their magnitudes. Students will use a table to answer questions about tsunamis....

In this online interactive reading comprehension worksheet, students respond to 15 multiple choice questions about Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Students discover the principles of solubility and phase state and their influence on chemical phenomena observed around deep-sea volcanoes. They describe the effect of temperature and pressure on solubility of gasses and solid materials.

Students plot earthquakes on the world map using coordinates of longitude and latitude. They designate the earthquakes magnitude with a symbol which they include in the map key.

Let's get moving! The second installment of a 2-part series of six adventures helps learners take part in individual explorations by sea and by land. After navigating the waters in an informative WebQuest, groups create and hide their...

Students describe alternative theories for how the first humans cane to America.  In this human origin lesson students study the origins of the first Americans. 

Students explore the concept of plate tectonics using research methods. The understanding will aid them to form an educated opinion about the significance of the concept upon the formation of landforms.

Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park includes whitebark pines that are over 1,200 years old, meaning they have been there since before medieval times. The second lesson of five details how to read tree rings for climate change and...

While this presentation is not heavy in text it more than makes up for it with the telling images of life in New York at the turn of the century. Use as a supplemental lecture tool when covering immigration, tenements, Shirtwaist...

Make a volcano erupt in your own classroom! Young scientists use household and craft materials to model and simulate the eruption of a volcano.

In this plate tectonics worksheet, students list the major and minor plates. Students determine which plates correspond to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Ring of Fire. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank questions.

Students, after plotting earthquake locations on the map, should correctly; identify the pattern of earthquake locations and identify the ring of fire.

Students identify common elements found in folk tales and read a Togolese folk tale told by Fred Koehler. They analyze the folk tale for its elements and compare and contrast it with well-known Western folk tales.
