Students discover that scuba diving is more than a sport. It's a science that operationally integrates physics, chemistry, physiology, and oceanography. They perform a simple experiment which simulates the air tanks used in scuba diving.

Sixth graders create designs for salmon habitats. They work in groups to design a tank habitat that mimics the requirements for salmon in various phases of its life cycle. Students may also raise salmon eggs as part of this unit.

For this volume worksheet, students list the steps they would use to find the volume of different gallon tanks. Students complete 5 measurement problems.

Students inspect nutrition by conducting a science experiment in class. In this vegetable identification instructional activity, students examine a group of different veggies and predict whether they will sink or float in a tub of water....

Students engage in a lesson that uses applied mathematics to find the solution to the design of a pool for a home. They design the pool based upon scale measurements that include perimeter and area of the pool area, water volume, and...

Students explain and understand the circulation of air in the atmosphere. They identify that energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow or by waves, including water, light and sound waves, or by moving objects. ...

High schoolers study the basics of aquaculture and how to successfully raise aquatic plants and animals.  In this water activity students perform water quality tests on fish tanks, record and graph their results. 

Students evaluate the potential problems associated with underground storage tanks. They research the potential hazards from various subsurface pollutants and simulate a superfund site cleanup.

Students are told that an air tank contains a fixed volume of air under pressure. As air is used, the pressure decreases at a rate that depends on the depth. Students discuss how SCUBA divers calculate the amount of time they can spend...

Students determine the amount of air they use during rest and activity. They conduct experiments to calculate the number of breaths needed to empty a jug of water by exhaling through a tube into the container. Then, they figure how much...

Students participate in a virtual field trip to Lake Superior. In groups, they perform experiments in which test the level of toxins and bacteria in the water. They also watch video segments life in the lake and discuss their observations.

Students define and differentiate between point source and non-point source pollution. Students discuss various types of pollution including air, water and land pollution, analyze demonstrations and complete a worksheet.

Students discuss how animals are cared for when they are captured. Using calculations, they determine how much food and water it takes for one bison and compare their water intake to humans. They also compare their weight to that of a...

Students study how fluids of differing densities interact with one another, how densities of fluids can be changed, and how density currents transport and deposit tremendous amounts of sediment in lakes and in the ocean.

In this mixtures worksheet, students answer three essay questions about the amount of salt in a solution. They tell how long a 500 gallon tank will take to empty when given the rate that the water is leaking out. They write about the...

Fifth graders keep journals of observations made about their Aquademics aquarium. Using a worksheet, they record information such as tank water temperature, feeding times, ammonia and pH levels, and unusual behaviors. Journals can be...

Why do we have to do so much work? Scholars learn how to set up bar models to represent a situation involving work. They use these bar models to help set up equations with rational coefficients to solve the problem situation.

Youngsters examine resource maps to find out which states are using solar and wind power and discuss as a class various other renewable energy sources. They use a provided data table to record pros and cons to each technology, build and...

Learners explore aquariums. In this fish and ecosystems lessons, students establish a freshwater aquarium environment using materials provided. Learners read about and care for the classroom fish.

In this inductance worksheet, students answer 20 questions about magnetic fields as they relate to inductors, inertia, transistors, and the flow of current through circuits.

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols and solve for the related rates. There are 10 word problems involving derivatives and rates.

Learners define the terms "mass," "volume," and "density." The relationship between these three terms is established. They observe the differences between Regular and Diet Coke. They develop an hypotheses about why a can of Regular Coke...

Submarines are the fous of this math and science lesson. In it, learners explore the world of submarines: how they work, and what they are used for. They engage in hands-on activities, watch video clips, and work in cooperative groups in...

Oceanographers participate in a memorable hands on experience about buoyancy. They build a model of a submersible using a plastic bottle and a balloon. Afterward, they answer assessment questions. An answer key and some terrific...
