Solubility and Chemical Changes in Groundwater
Students test pH of water before and after it travels through different substrates (igneous pebbles and limestone) to detemine how soluble materials can affect groundwater. They answer questions such as: What happended to the pH of the...
Curated OER
Density Currents
Students experiment with currents caused by temperature variations that simulate the origins and flow of polar bottom currents. They discover water density is affected by temperature and salinity, resulting in deep water currents.

Learning Cycle Lesson Plan
students investigate, develop inferences, and identify general descriptions for each of the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. students investigate water, by observing and stating inferences about, the properties of each...
Curated OER
Groundwater Pump Test
Students observe groundwater flowing to a pump, changes in groundwater table as a result of pumping, and the quantity and quality of water in the groundwater system. Students must graph and interpret their data, and quantify orders of...

Create a Tornado
In creating a tornado, students create a model tornado in a two-liter soda bottle. In order to accomplish this feat, students label each of their bottles with a marker, then tape the mouths of the bottle together and fill with water....
Curated OER
Sediment Tubes
Students observe how different density soils and rocks behave in wind and in water. They make predictions and careful observations as they explore sediment transport and sediment rates in streams and rivers.
Curated OER
Determining Liquid Densities
Young scholars practice determining liquid densities in a short, hands-on lab activity. Students use a graduated cylinder to measure out 100 milliliters of a liquid, find its mass using a balance, and record measurements in a data...
Curated OER
Stream Flow in Blacks Creek
Learners explore what factors affect the stream flow in a local body of water. They collect data to measure stream flow and discharge and construct a hypothesis concerning the factors affecting stream flow.
Curated OER
Will The Ice Melt and Overflow?
Students observe what happens when ice in a glass of water starts to melt. In this ice lesson plan, students see that the ice does not make the water overflow, it simply occupies the space it did in frozen form.
Curated OER
Secrets of the Ocean Realm - In the School "Star Gardens"
Students learn to use a tide table in plotting tidal curves and create a tide calendar by plotting a month-long tidal curve on an ordinary pictorial calendar.
Curated OER
Fish Communities in the Hudson
Students use tables of fish collection data to draw conclusions about where fish live in the Hudson Estuary. Given available data they interpret organized observations and measurements and recognize simple patterns, sequences, and...
Curated OER
Making a Region Map of a State
Fourth graders create salt maps of a state and indicate its regions. They include topographical elements including mountains, valleys, lowlands and major water bodies and a compass rose.
Curated OER
Sharkland Wiki
Students, while researching the waters around southern Africa and viewing a video of the episode "Sharkland" from Thirteen's series NATURE, critique reliability of online resources and analyze the various components of a wiki. They...
Curated OER
Measurement: When Degrees Matter
Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. In this general science lesson plan, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.
Curated OER
Balancing Equations
In this balancing equations worksheet, students determine the type of reaction and write the balanced equation. Students read the word description and write the symbol of each element using the periodic table.
Curated OER
What's Your Favorite Stuffed Animal?
Second graders gather information in a survey and interpret the results using a tally chart, a table, and a bar graph. They' present their results of the during the final group discussion. The subject of the survey is favorite stuffed...
Curated OER
What Do Plants Need to Grow?
Fourth graders control variables to determine the effect on plant growth. They collect information by observing and measuring and construct simple graphs, tables, maps and charts to organize, examine and evaluate information.
Curated OER
Vegetable Lab
Third graders prepare vegetables using common methods: au gratin, minimum water method, broiled, panfry, frozen, and stuffed. They share with the rest of the class and determine which methods preserve nutrients, color, flavor and texture.
Curated OER
Earth & Space Science: Holding it Together
Pupils estimate how many drops of water can fit onto the surface of a penny and then test their hypothesis to find out. They also experiment with bubbles.
Curated OER
Twisters
Students differentiate between the terms 'tornado watch' and 'tornado warning' and simulate the conditions that produce tornadoes. They read "Night of the Twisters" by Ivy Ruckman and conduct an experiment using two-liter plastic...
