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...

Pupils explore the process of estivation, hibernation and torpor and the ways that frogs adapt to seasonal weather changes.

Students list items they know and want to know about water on personal K-W-L charts. They describe what happened during the warm up activity in their science journal. Students travel to four different stations and perform the different...

Students explore environmental safety by reading assigned text in class. In this fires lesson, students discuss the benefits and negative aspects of lighting a fire near a campground. Students list other ways to avoid leaving an impact...

In this Earth worksheet, students review the different ways water shapes the Earth's surface. This worksheet has 1 short answer and 10 matching questions.

In this gravity worksheet, 8th graders complete 4 different questions related to defining gravity. First, they identify the various types of mass movement that is described in each. Then, students explain what each of the 4 types of...

Fifth graders investigate the process of water treatment. They listen to the book, "The Magic School Bus Visits the Waterworks," design a plan for a water treatment system, construct a water filter using various materials, and test the...

Second graders work in small groups with on cup each of warm and ice water. They observe the outsides of the cups. They exhale onto a small piece of mylar or mirrors and discuss the change in appearance. Students discuss where the foggy...

This PowerPoint provides a game show format with multiple choice questions about fresh and salt water. Topics include sources of water, water geography, uses of water, and the water cycle.

Students illustrate how water is stored and the water cycle. They discover how underground water can become contaminated.

Students create a web connecting global warming, the Arctic, and wold climate. They write a paragraph explaining the role of the Arctic in world climate.

Learners sequence the steps leading to the formation of rain, and design a model to represent these steps. This task assesses students' abilities to classify, generalize, infer, interpret and communicate data, and construct a pictorial...

Students study four samples of "rain water". They asked to determine the pH of the samples and then to neutralize them. Students are asked to predict any negative effects which might be associated with water having a low pH and to...

Students explore the Earth and its ability to support life. They discuss the geosphere and the water cycle and complete the Water Wonders activity. After completing the activity, they respond in their journals and reflect upon the...

In this wind instructional activity, students fill in 15 different question blanks that related to wind. First, they define wind erosion and what it picks up and why. Then, students determine the most common form of wind deposit and what...

Students recognize some forms of pollution. In this science lesson plan, students recognize and understand some of the devastating effects of the acid rains and other possible factors that are contrary to the pH balance of nature.

Students discuss global warming, greenhouse effect, permafrost and other key words.  In this climate instructional activity students create a web that connects global warming, the Arctic and world climate then write a paragraph...

Students make their own seine net to catch fish in the water. In this seine let lesson plan, students follow directions to make the net and then use it in the water.

Learners calculate averages of climate sets of data. In this ecology instructional activity, students analyze data to determine identity of a biome and collect meteorological data to understand process.  Learners also compare data...

Students investigate the concept of an aquifer and use a 2 liter bottle and other materials to conduct a simple lab experiment or demonstration. They calculate the volume of water that can be stored in the aquifer. The lab is used to...

Students explore groundwater and issues relating to groundwater. They discus the problems involving groundwater. Students write a newspaper story addressing groundwater problems. They create a comic strip addressing groundwater...

Fifth graders study the effects of running water on erosion. They examine how the soil on the playground is affected by erosion and determine how the placement of trees and shrubs changes the path of erosion. In their science journals,...

In this Earth's crust worksheet, students will review the different ways the crust is moving including soil erosion and earthquakes. Students will complete 6 word scramble/fill in the blank, 3 multiple choice, and 11 short answer questions.

First graders compare and contrast water from different sources. After collecting water from various sources, 1st graders create a list of observable properties of the water. Students then pour the water into a filter and observe the...
