The Formation of Resources

In small groups, energy engineers research and make a topographic map of a marine natural resource. They report to the rest of the class pros and cons of extracting their assigned resource. The two activities may take up to four class...

Using this activity, learners could review information they have covered about land forms, such as hills, mountains and plateaus. This 17 question activity could be used with upper elementary or ESL students to test or review information...

Make sure your scientists are reporting their work effectively by providing them with a reference for their lab reports. The first few pages of this resource detail each element of a lab report, and the last few pages provide an example...

High schoolers will solve 10 heat of formation problems. Given varying information students will be asked to solve for standard heat formation for different chemical equations.

In this heat of formation worksheet, students determine the heat of formation for magnesium by combining 3 given reactions and using Hess's Law. Students then complete a data calculations chart for each reaction.

Could another object in space have an atmosphere similar to Earth's? In this research project, learners write a paper showing the knowledge they have gained on atmospheric formation by comparing Saturn's moon and Titan's atmosphere to...

In this chemistry video, Sal takes a closer look at what happens to the change in enthalpy during a chemical reaction. He points out that the enthalpy change, given constant pressure, becomes the heat added to the system at that constant...

Tired of long, tedious enthalpy calculations? Look no further than Hess' Law! Young chemists discover a shortcut using changes in enthalpy with a video from JFR Science. The narrator talks about the theory behind the law, then performs...

In this natural resources activity, students complete an on-line quiz, choosing questions and matching answers. Students score 1 point for each correct answer; a printed version is available.

In this natural resources worksheet, students read articles about natural resources and write an essay about the issue they choose. Students answer 4 questions in their essay.
