Earthquake Waves

Using a stream table, erosion enthusiasts examine how the density of sediment and how the slope of land contribute to the amount moved by waves. You will not be able to use this entire resource as is; there are teachers' names and...

Students investigate their environment by completing an in-class experiment.  In this ecological lesson, students define the roles of dams and how electricity is created by them.  Students utilize plastic jugs, sand and tap water to...

Here is the first of four experiments to differentiate among unknown liquids by their behaviors and properties. Pupils observe how different liquids respond to being placed on plastic and paper, and they take notes about their...

Blue-tinted water is added to unknown liquids that have been tinted yellow to find out how they interact. This is a memorable activity that is part of an investigation on the properties of liquids, which is part of a unit on the...

Students create a model of a geological land-form. In this art lesson, students will create a model of a land-form using sand.

Learners complete an experiment using wire screening, wires, water, sand, and food coloring to compare the relationship of groundwater to wells. In this water lesson plan, students observe and record what they see after they complete the...

Students show how earthquakes affect sea waves. In this tidal waves lesson plan students use a rubber mallet on a table to create waves in a box on top of the table. They experiment with striking the mallet in different locations on the...

Students examine how spacecraft land on Mars. Using eggs or lightbulbs, they design a craft that withstand a drop from a table or ladder, competing in groups to see which module demonstrates the most successful landing.

Students discover the geography of Earth by analyzing water currents.  In this oceanography lesson, students create visual references on a map of the globe where and why major ocean currents are moving water.  Students conduct a water...

Learners use data from tables to draw graphs. They interpret the graphed data and explain how CFCs damage the ozone layer. This is a good cross-curricular lesson.
