In this farmer worksheet, students make a spinning wheel to describe the jobs of a farmer. Students create 1 wheel with 8 different jobs for a farmer.

Students demonstrate how water flows by building a human watershed using themselves. In this ecology lesson, students compare and contrast point-source and non-point source pollution. They write what they have learned from this activity...

Students conduct a series of investigations on the unique properties of water. In this general science lesson, students explain what causes water's surface tension. They explain the different stages in the water cycle.

In this water worksheet, students are given the percent of distribution of water on earth. With the total amount of water equal to 1,000ml students determine the number of ml for each type of water on earth and color a beaker with the...

Learners explore the different types of pollution. they conduct experiments using dye mixed with tap water to measure the levels of dilution. They discuss at what point the dye (pollution) would be diluted enough to be safe to drink.

Students consider the importance of clean drinking water. They conduct a taste experiment with water, adding incremental drips of salt and vinegar to determine at which point it doesn't taste drinkable.

Students investigate the three methods of waste disposal. They listen to a teacher-led lecture, answer discussion questions, and write a letter to the E.P.A. from the viewpoint of an environmental engineer.

Students summarize the "Tri-County Project" section of the nebraskastudies.org web site using a scavenger hunt.

Middle schoolers complete internet research in small groups to identify types of water pollution, spotlight water pollution hot-spots, and design a plan for water prevention.

Tenth graders explore the planet of Mars. In this Earth Science lesson plan, 10th graders read articles on the make up of Mars. Students complete a worksheet on their reading.

Students determine what percentage of the Earth is water and how much water is needed by humans.

Learners illustrate how water is stored and the water cycle. They discover how underground water can become contaminated.

Fifth graders discuss ways that humans pollute our natural water supply. They observe a video about water pollution. Students identify eight different ways water is contaminated. They investigate an oil spill by conducting a hands-on...

Students compare ways in which people form different cultures think about and deal with their physical environment and social conditions. They identify examples of change and recognize examples of cause and effect relationships. Students...
