Effects of Ozone in the Air

Temperature rises and land disappears! Through a lab exploration, learners understand the effect of temperature increase on water similar to the effect of global warming on our oceans. As they heat the water in a flask, they measure the...

Students explore the active layer above permafrost and investigate various factors on the insulation value of the active layer.  In this energy transfer lesson, students conduct and experiment to determine the effects of snow cover,...

Students record changes in an ecosystem. In this science instructional activity students make a hypothesis about changes in a terrarium. They record their observations. The students conduct an experiment to test their hypothesis.

Students explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a protractor,...

Students work in groups to define and research the terms: ozone, troposphere and stratosphere. Students watch videos, conduct Internet research, participate in discussion groups and complete worksheets.

Students observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle and...

Students collect and analyze real time data. They make comparisons and determinations about the status of ozone in their local area and predict the Ozone level for the next day

Fifth graders learn how ground-level ozone is an air pollution problem. Students measure ozone levels and graph the results.

Students study the ozone and measure its concentration in different areas. Students use Ecobadge strips and other equipement for measurement. Then they share their results on an on-line forum. Also, students study environmental problems.

Launch a great lesson exploring engineering design. Using a template, young scholars create rockets that can be launched from a straw. After analyzing the function of the rocket, pupils try to modify the rocket to enhance its function.
