Ozone Testing Tools

Students engage in lesson concerned with the concept of the ozone layer. They write a reflective journal using prior knowledge. Students read sources of information about the existence of a hole in the ozone layer. Finally they create...

Did you know the hole in the ozone is seasonal and filled by January every year? The lesson plan uses scientific measurements of the ozone over the South Pole to understand patterns. Scholars learn that the hole grew bigger annually...

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson plan in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of...

Review questions like these can be used in your biology, chemistry, physics, or earth science classes! They assess scientists' understanding of laboratory measurement tools including graduated cylinders, thermometers, and balances. They...

After looking at the many aspects of the issues behind genetic testing, students are exposed to the pros and cons and must take a stand by writing a position paper. They will view the "Who Gets to Know?" video and/or reading case studies...

Students explore the design of anemometers and how they are used in measuring the speed of wind. Working in teams of "engineers", they will design, build, and evaluate the effectiveness of their own anemometers, presenting their findings...

Print out the lyrics or show the karaoke video to get your scientists singing about the scientific process! Participants will warble about observations and measurements, data and physical properties. Consider sharing this resource after...

Conduct guided experiments and discussions while collecting anthropometric measurements. Your class will explore impact of experimental errors in a scientific system, and explain their observations/findings in writing. An introduction to...

How do you catch something that can't be seen, has no odor, and makes no sound? Discover the common methods of gas collection in this first of a ten-part video series. Learners see how the properties of density and solubility are used to...

You may have heard of CFCs and how harmful they can be to the ozone layer, but do you know the process that chlorine undergoes to contribute to this destruction? NASA explores this topic and has charted the depletion of the ozone since...
