Oxygen Teacher Resources

Students conduct three tests of water quality that can be utilized with TerrAqua columns and outdoors: pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. They make comparisons between different types of water and draw conclusions about how healthy...

In this chemistry worksheet, students write the balanced chemical equation for each. Then they calculate the mass of nitrogen dioxide created with specific amounts of nitrogen and oxygen. Students also identify how many grams of the...

In this photosynthesis and respiration activity, students will explore the function of the stomata on plant leaves Students will write the photosynthesis equation and label a diagram showing the movement of water, carbon dioxide, and...

Students explore hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in the Gulf of Mexico.  For this ocean habitat lesson, students hypothesis, design and implement an experiment to explain the existence of the "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico.

Students investigate energy by researching how oil reservoirs work. In this fossil fuels lesson, students conduct an experiment using a half full bottle of water, corn oil and oxygen, recording their data as the elements are mixed...

Sixth graders discover scientific processes by conducting an experiment in class. In this osmosis lesson plan, 6th graders utilize eggs, cooking ingredients, string and plastic cups to create an experiment in which they watch the...

In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to earth science. The word list includes nitrogen, oxygen, sea breeze, atmosphere, and during the day.

In this word search activity, learners locate 15 words related to science. The word list includes oxygen, reproduction, growth, and transport.

Students explore practical problems that are related to scuba diving.  In this oxygen lesson students complete a lab activity. 

For this body systems worksheet, students complete a word equation for respiration. Students draw and label the human respiratory system. Students draw a diagram of the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air sacs.

In this chemistry worksheet, students solve various problems on stoichiometry by following what each statement describes. They identify how many moles and grams of carbon dioxide will be produced and what the theoretical yield in moles...

Young scholars mode the transport of blood through the circulatory system with a water relay. In this circulation lesson plan, students measure amounts of water and transfer them from one container to another. They use this activity to...

Students examine the following concepts: If water supplies contain materials which rot or decompose, oxygen is used. Decay and decomposition require vast supplies of oxygen. The use of oxygen for decay of wastes may be a life or death...

Students graph dissolved oxygen versus depth using data taken from NECOP Program. In this marine science lesson, students explain the causes of hypoxia. They recommend possible solutions to this problem.

Students evaluate the relationship between oxygen levels and the amount of organic matter in an aquatic ecosystem. They explain the relationship between oxygen levels, bacteria and the breakdown of organic matter using an indicator...

Third graders examine how trees produce oxygen. They examine satellite images of the reservation they examining and interpret the number of trees on the land. They determine how natural resources should be used wisely.

Students examine the effects of nitrates and phosphates on the dissolved oxygen levels in different water sources. In this series of 3 lessons, they consider the reasons for nitrate and phosphate level increases and their effects on...

Students explore the basics of interpreting RUSS temperature and oxygen profile data. They are introduced to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly with respect to interpreting maps.

Students examine the role of human respiration and how it relates to radon. They identify damage to the lung from the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. They work together to complete a lab activity and worksheet.

Students are introduced to the various methods of measuring water quality. In groups, they test various water samples using the different methods, writing them down for pH, oxygen, salinity, and nitrate levels. They use their data to...

Students explore the respiratory system. They use a computer to monitor the respiratory rate of an individual. They determine residual oxygen levels in exhaled air. Students evaluate how internal 02 and C02 concentrations influence...

Seventh graders discuss water quality, water availability and water resources and how water is used in the world around them. They view a video on water quality then test for pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen to indicate water quality.

Students revise the points of the fire triangle and discuss the characteristics of each corner, drawing up a set of adjectives to describe each contributor to a fire, and discuss ways a person might "stop" each contributor. They then use...

Learners play the role of scientists testing for water quality in the area. In this ecology lesson, students determine the water sample's pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen and turbidity. They write a journal reflection after the activity.
