Guide your learners through the water cycle with this lesson plan. Over the course of the lesson, they read two Magic School Bus books, discuss the water cycle, come up with water facts, complete a diagram of the water cycle, recognize...

Learners participate in a series of demonstrations about Bernoulli's principle. They explain how air pressure varies with air speed. They write a detailed lab report about the activity. This is a great way to explore this concept.

Students examine the disparity of resources between developing and industrialized nations, and research the problem of water availability as world populations increase and natural resources are stressed.

Ninth graders conduct research on the subject of sea water. They use a variety of resources to obtain information. There are helpful resource links listed in the lesson. In conjunction with the research students make inquiry of the...

Eighth graders investigate the water cycle and its processes. They examine temperature and precipiation data to classify climate of ten cities. They then create a climate map of the world.

Students explore geography by conducting an in-class experiment. In this deep sea exploration lesson, students identify the different zones of the ocean and utilize water bottles, masking tape and scissors to conduct a water pressure...

Students investigate water column data. In this earth science and seawater lesson, students determine how temperature, salinity, and density have an impact on sea water by viewing and analyzing data obtained from a number of websites....

Young scholars list reasons why water is important and investigate and graph the freezing points of different solutions.

Students investigate water vapor. They view and analyze photos, conduct Internet research, and analyze the total water vapor/total liquid water data plot.

Learners explore the states of water. In this water states lesson, students observe ice over time and the changes that take place. Learners read a related text and draw their observations in a journal entry. Students discuss the...

Students investigate air pressure with four hands-on activities. They observe experiments by viewing Take a Look 2 #21.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of water chemistry. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students also consider an experiment to observe how water has the abiility to exist as three different...

Students research to answer questions related to deep sea diving. In this deep sea diving lesson, students answer questions on a worksheet using the Internet. They discuss pressure, gas laws, and the physiology of diving in the deep sea.

Second graders work with gases to determine what the effects of temperature are on volume and air pressure by working with balloons. Also, they experiment with vinegar and baking soda. They predict the outcomes of these experiments, and...

Students explore potential issues of a water shortage.  In this water conservation lesson, students brainstorm the many uses of water and what life would be like if there was not enough water available.

Students experiment to discover how different variables affect the water cycle. They do hat flow experiments and construct a computer heat flow model.

Students investigate the factors affecting climate using Live Access Server. In this geography lesson, students graph atmospheric data using Excel spreadsheet. They compare and contrast temperature, precipitation and water vapor of two...

Who knew that a possible answer to Earth's energy resource problems was lurking deep beneath the ocean's surface? Part four of a six-part series introduces Earth Science pupils to methane hydrate, a waste product of methanogens. After...

Students use satellite data to explore sea surface temperature. They explore the relationship between the rotation of the Earth, the path of ocean current and air pressure centers. After studying maps of sea surface temperature and ocean...

Students explain the different aspects of aqueducts.  In this aqueduct lesson students complete an activity and fill out a worksheet.

Middle schoolers define groundwater. They identify groundwater's relationship to springs, artesian wells, ordinary wells and sinkholes. They describe the process by which sinkholes are formed. they define saltwater contamination and...

Students explore the physical location of deep water habitats along the Hudson Shelf Valley and in Hudson Canyon. They study the basic characteristics of the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones with regard to depth, temperature, pres

Ninth graders examine pressures on the Pascagoula River and the danger that Mississippi may lose a natural treasure before residents grasp its value and appreciate the potential for long-term benefit.

Learners explore solubility of gases in water, Henry's Law, LeChatelier's Principal, and supersaturation of gases in water.
