Students discuss what the m in E=mc2 represent. They relate that mass in a chemical reaction is always conserved. Students convey that atoms rearrange themselves in chemical reactions to form different molecules and compounds.

Young scholars observe the "drinking bird" perpetual motion machine and critically examine the designs of other so-called perpetual motion machines. They use this experience to create their own definition of conservation of energy.

Students practice what to do in the case of water emergencies. They experiment with using a pair of jeans to create a flotation device and learn to use a life preserver to pull others to safety.

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

Students observe the North Dakota quarter reverse and discuss its imagery and meaning. They define "endangered species" and "conservation." They read books about recycling and conservation. They complete a worksheet about recycling and...

Students examine the movement of the water table and saturation zones. They describe the movements of the water table and locate the saturation zones. Students identify the function of each saturation zone. They develop a model of the...

Student examine ways we use and conserve energy. They discover the choices one makes concerning excessive energy use.

In this soil conservation activity, students study and analyze two excellent ways to enhance soil conservation: compost heap and leaf-mould. Students review all the ingredients in making both.

Students examine how they affect water quality of those who live downstream after identifying rivers and river basins in Kansas.

Students study how animals need water, food, shelter, and space to survive. They also study what animals need to survive in the winter. They play the part of animals and winter "threats" in a game of tag to reinforce concepts.

Students discuss energy resources. In this energy lesson, students predict which item: the plastic cup, metal soup can, or foam cup, will keep water warm for the longest time by measuring the temperature in each item every...

Students explore Afro-American history. They identify the commonality between African, Carolinian and Cleveland Black culture. Students explore the water cycle, oceanography, hydrology and bio-geochemical processes. They discuss the...

Pupils are able to define habitat. They are able to identify the four things that living things need to survive. Students are able to describe how living things are adapted to their habitats.

Students research the Civilian Conservation Corp camps. For this Civilian Conservation Corps camp, students explore the C. C. C. and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They plan and develop a three dimensional representation of life in a C. C....

Students perform healthy water practices by discussing and demonstrating acts of philanthropy. In this healthy water lesson plan, students read an article on how we can keep water clean, and create a LITWIS activity.

Students research Hawaii's fishing regulations. In this conservation lesson, students explore the reasons behind ocean conservation. Resources are provided.

In this recycling learning exercise, learners review what items can be recycled, what is made from recycled items, and how recycling conserves resources. This learning exercise has 5 word scramble, 10 short answer, and 5 multiple choice...

Students explore relict species. In this anchialine cave lesson, students identify relict species associated with anchialine caves, and explain the importance of preserving anchialine caves and species.

Students use the net they make to dip macroinvertebrates at or below the surface. The flat side of the net allows pressure on the substrate so that organisms do not escape under the net. Two students hold onto the handles and submerge...

Students investigate how the loss of soil, a valuable natural resource, affects their lives through loss of productive land to grow food, loss of coastal land mass, and poor water quality from runoff. They design a project to keep soil...

Students consider the importance of clean drinking water. They conduct a taste experiment with water, adding incremental drips of salt and vinegar to determine at which point it doesn't taste drinkable.

Students study natural habitats, aquatic life, renewable and non-renewable resources. They discuss conservation efforts for sea otters and desert toad in this units.

High schoolers collaborate in an experiment where they decompose water into simpler substances through the process of electrolysis. They collect, measure, and observe data and then place the data into a table. Accomodations for...

Students determine how water holding capacity influences plant growth by observing different types of soils and their ability to hold water. They record their results on a soil permeability worksheet.
