Junior geologists, hydrologists, or meteorologists simulate what happens during the flooding of a river and demonstrate factors that contribute to flash flooding. This outstanding resource provides a vocabulary list, online resources,...

First graders work on patterns in nature and to recognize how different living things adapt to different environments such as the rain forest.

Students conduct various experiments to investigate plant transpiration. In this biology lesson, students explain how this process helps maintain the hydrologic cycle. They measure the rate of water loss in plants using a potometer.

In this life cycle of the frog worksheet, students read and assess comprehension. In this fill in the blank and sequencing worksheet, students write answers to sixteen questions.

Seventh graders investigate the life cycle of the mosquito. In this life cycle activity, 7th graders gain knowledge about the diseases mosquitos carry. Students breed mosquitos and investigate their eggs. Students collect and record...

Students complete an experiment. In this precipitation lesson, students complete an activity where they make rain in a jar.

Young scholars investigate a frog's life cycle. In this tadpole instructional activity, students observe tadpoles in an aquarium and record results. Young scholars fill in a KWL chart as an assessment.

Students see that spiders have a life cycle, and reproduce by laying many eggs. We can count by ones, twos, fives, or as many as we want. They make two lists of animals on a chart.

Second graders recall the affect of direct and angled sunlight on the seasons, describe some results of warming soil and air in spring, predict the changes in buds when twigs are placed in water, and taste a product of tree sap and...

First graders identify the sun as a source of heat and light. They identify features of houses that help keep use sheltered and comfortable throughout daily and seasonal cycles. Students are told that summer is the best season to...

In this oyster culture cycle worksheet, students answer 31 questions about the six stages of the oyster culture cycle. They also answer questions about the oyster business.

Students determine the density of 1 drop of water. In this determining density lesson plan, students determine the mass and volume of a drop of water in the lab using appropriate lab techniques and calculate the density of a drop of water.

Students explore the effect of environmental factors on ecosystems.  In this wildlife and ecology lesson, students identify and describe the stages in a frog's life cycle. Students participate in a simulation demonstrating the...

Students examine how global wind and water patterns aid in the spread of worldwide pollution. In groups, they read articles about the domino effect of pollution and create posters displaying its journey. On blank world maps, students...

Students explain the importance of water in our daily lives. In this aquatic science instructional activity, students identify different ways to purify water and make it potable. They design and construct a water filter based on...

Fifth graders examine the carbon cycle, periodic table, and photosynthesis and respiration. They analyze the periodic table and how it is organized, then complete the "Elementary, Dear Watson" worksheet. Students then examine a carbon...

Students explore snow. In this forms of water instructional activity, students read a story about snow, identify the types of snow found in Alaska, and learn Inuit words for snow. The instructional activity calls for an Intuit Elder to...

Third graders investigate the stages of animal life cycles. They examine an egg and compare it to an inanimate object, read a booklet about the life cycle and define key vocabulary terms, and observe a mealworm. Students then design a...

Middle schoolers consider the effects of topography on climate patterns. In this earth science instructional activity, students research weather patterns and make inferences of how the land forms may create different climates. Middle...

Pupils design and conduct an experiment to compare the water-holding capacity of sand, soil, and moss. They measure the change in weight for each material after adding the same amount of water to each material.

In this outcome science 4 worksheet, students apply scientific knowledge to answer and calculate a variety of questions. Students research the answer to several questions using the websites suggested.

Students examine how natural processes change the earth by identifying their local water cycle. Individual students complete a cloud journal over a specific period of time. They observe clouds daily and take photographs of the clouds...

First graders observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas. They predict what they think happen to ice cubes as they sit out. They paint water with paintbrushes outside the classroom in the sun and watch the water...

Students estimate the amount of water that can be found in its various forms including oceans, lakes, glaciers, rivers, etc. They view a demonstration about water distribution and discuss flash flooding safety precautions.
