Students make an anemometer, barometer, and wind catcher to see how wind and air pressure are related. In this wind lesson plan, students use these tools to measure the wind speed.

Students read a book and have a class discussion about the air around them. For this air lesson plan, students learn about properties of air, and discuss other gases they have observed.

In these science worksheets, 5th graders explore aspects of weather and recycling. In the first activity, students are given five questions about weather which they match to the statement about weather that corresponds to it. In the...

Students examine how riding a bike can impact the environment and cut down on carbon emissions.  For this environmental lesson students design a bike rack that is made from recycled material.

In this online interactive vocabulary skills worksheet, students match the 10 vocabulary terms in the word bank to the appropriate definitions. Students may submit their answers to be scored. All of the words begin with the...

Young scholars analyze satellite image data of Volcan Villarica. In this earth science activity, students identify dangerous areas surrounding the volcano. They propose a new safe location for the town.

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...

Young scholars read about the green house effect and how our environment is deteriorating and what we can do to help it. In this green house effect lesson plan, students conduct a home and school energy audit, and create a rap.

Young scholars investigate air by participating in a class experiment. In this matter measurement lesson, students identify air as a gas which consists of mass. Young scholars utilize a windsock or balloon to measure oxygen and explore...

Learners examine and become aware of critical energy issues.  In this energy awareness lesson students complete an activity sheet and quiz. 

Sixth graders explore the destructive deforestation of rain forests in Brazil to clear the land for crops and livestock. Students demonstrate how the burning of a forest releases carbon dioxide by performing an experiment.

Students work together to solve the problem of air pollution. Using the Internet, they research the pollution problem in one city. Using the data, they develop their own solution and pitch it to the class. They must identify the...

Young scholars examine the weather conditions throughout the globe. As a class, they discover the impact of snow on various types of crops. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they form raindrops and calculate the...

Students investigate air and water pollution, and the conservation of natural resources.

Students discuss the causes of global warming. For this earth science lesson, students examine how global warming is connected to the arctic and world climate. They write a paragraph about their interconnection.

Students observe different demonstrations on the greenhouse effect. They build their own models to show the phenomenon. They discus the role of greenhouse gases on global warming.

Students identify greenhouse gases. They explain why perfluorocarbons are a bad alternative to chlorofluorcarbons. They determine both the least and most influential greenhouse gases.

Pupils determine if carbon dioxide has mass. In groups, they use a standard set of materials to test the carbon dioxide. They answer questions on their lab sheet and discuss them as a class.

In this science learning exercise, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills.

Pupils conduct a controlled experiment. They collect data in an organized manner. Students analyze data to reach a conclusion and communicate findings. They explain how city size, temperature, and pollution is related to the air quality.

Students investigate the effect human activities have on the environment. In this geography lesson, students compose an article using data analysis about the environment. This article requires some homework assignment.

Learners discuss the physical properties of fluids and then demonstrate that air carbon dioxide and oxygen) is a fluid by creating currents.

Learners discover which properties of solids lend themselves to building a tower through hands on trial and error and observation of others as they are building. They write down the steps it took them to build the tower and label an...

Second graders observe the changes that water has when there is a change in a state of matter. In this lesson they observe the results of applying heat to water with the end result of conversion to a gas.
