Students explore the greenhouse effect and what it does to the environment. They discuss if and how human behavior contributes to global warming and test natural materials for carbon content.

Students participate in experiments to visualize the differences between chemical and physical changes. They attempt to detect the five characteristics of a chemical change.

Students build simple stream tables and vary the angle of the stream tables in order to simulate different flow rates and compare the results. They observe various features formed in a stream table by flowing water and compare these to...

Students examine satellite images of the glacial features of Cape Cod. They analyze where human activity is located in terms of those features. Students make models of the features, including kettle holes. They also use contour maps...

In this elements worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 25 clues given.

Using this activity, learners could review information they have covered about land forms, such as hills, mountains and plateaus. This 17 question activity could be used with upper elementary or ESL students to test or review information...

High schoolers observe demonstrations to show factors that affect rates of chemical reactions. In this rates of chemical reactions lesson plan, students investigate how catalysts, reactant concentrations, temperature and surface area...

In this physical and chemical change worksheet, students watch a movie called the "Brain POP" about property changes and fill in the blanks to complete 8 sentences which are examples of chemical and physical changes.

In this erosion deposition worksheet, learners fill in 36 blanks to complete sentences about the formation of soil, the forces of erosion, physical and chemical weathering, sediments and soil deposition.

For this conservation of mass worksheet, students balance 4 equations and identify the products, the reactants and the kind of reaction. Students then answer 5 questions about the conservation of mass.

Students conduct an experiment.  In this glaciers lesson, students learn about glaciers and then perform an experiment to show how glaciers shape the landscape around them.  Students draw a picture in their journals to...

The landscape impacted by glacier activity is drawn at the top of this worksheet. Ten multiple choice questions follow, some relating to the diagram, and some about the quality of soil left by glaciation. It is not often that you come...

Students how islands form, rising water levels, growth of coral, and volcanoes. They complete Island Investigation worksheets after researching island formation on various Internet websites.

Students observe an experiment. In this water activity, students observe as water is changed into vapor. They record their observations by completing a data sheet.

Students examine how a liquid takes on the shape of the container it is in.

In this half-life worksheet, students determine how much of the radioactive isotopes will remain after a certain amount of time. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

Students identify and describe three states of water. They predict how water will change states.

For this thermodynamics worksheet, students review the first law of thermodynamics and define enthalpy, state functions, and heat capacity. Students use Hess' law and heats of formation to solve reactions. This worksheet has 30 problems...

In this heat worksheet, students determine the heat gained or lost when matter changes phases. Students review the energy flow through ecosystems by comparing trophic levels and food webs. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 5 short...

Students identify characteristics of weather and seasons, describe the current weather, identify the current season, and locate the current temperature at www.weatherchannel.com. They also depict the current forecast using Math Keys...

Students simulate the greenhouse effect and draw a model of what he/she thinks is happening. They draw inferences from the model and from other resources to determine possible outcomes of increased earth temperatures.

Middle schoolers create posters to raise awareness about Global Warming as an immediate threat.  In this environmental instructional activity, students respond to the video Biomes: The Threat of the Sea by researching global warming...

Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.
