How Does Climate Affect Your Environment?
Pupils access the Global Sun Temperature Project website and research the relationship between the location and climate of a participating school to its building structure. They consider how climate affects the type of structures humans...
Curated OER
Set the Stage
Students observe evaporation in a controlled environment. Evaporation is the change of liquid water into water vapor (a gas). The rate of evaporation is determined by many factors such as air temperature and humidity, liquid temperature...
Curated OER
Weather
Pupils track wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, and precipitation for a month using a newspaper. They chart the data over a months time.
Curated OER
Building a Psychrometer
Students create psychrometers to measure the humidity of the air. In this meteorology lesson, students make a wet-bulb thermomter and place it next to a dry-bulb thermometer to measure the relative humidity in the room.
Curated OER
The Tropopause
In this tropopause worksheet, learners read about the temperature of the air in the tropopause or the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth. They answer four critical thinking questions about this layer and the energy changes that...
Curated OER
Convection Activities
Students conduct a series of hands-on activities to demonstrate that heated air expands and that warm air rises because it is less dense.
Curated OER
Gases Worksheet
In this gases worksheet, students solve twenty problems using the gas laws and their understanding of the relationship between energy and temperature and energy and velocity.
Curated OER
Land and Sea Breezes
In this specific heat worksheet, students read about the land and sea breezes along the coast and how the specific heat of the air cause the differences in land and sea air creating breezes. Students answer three critical thinking...
Curated OER
Adopt a City-Winter Weather
In weather worksheet, students use an on line site to collect weather data. They create 10 different weather scenarios using a temperature and humidity slider. They includethe temperature, relative humidity and weather conditions and...
Curated OER
Water Cycle, Weather, and Climate
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.
Curated OER
Why is a salt marsh important?
Students discuss the salt marsh. They define the following terms: habitat, water, land and air. Students work in small groups. They are asked why are they going to a salt marsh? Students discuss whose habitat is it at the salt marsh.
Curated OER
Daily Weather Log
For this weather worksheet, learners keep track of the temperature, precipitation, air pressure, humidity, and wind throughout the day using either provided weather instruments or ones they have created.
Curated OER
Global Warming Statistics
Students research real-time and historic temperature data of U.S. and world locations, and analyze the data using mean, median, and mode averages. They graph the data and draw conclusions by analyzing the data. A spreadsheet is used to...
Curated OER
We All Scream for Ice Cream
Students investigate the freezing point depression of water while making ice cream. For this colligative properties lesson plan, students make ice cream using ice, salt and water to freeze milk and sugar. They measure the temperature of...
Curated OER
What Is Energy? Short Demos
Students engage in three short, hands-on, in-class demos which expand students' understand of energy. First, using peanuts and heat, students see how the human body burns food to make energy. Then, they create paper snake mobiles to...
Curated OER
Pressure and Volume of Gases
Students investigate pressure and volume as they relate to gases. In this pressure and volume lesson plan, students observe multiple demonstrations related to air pressure. The develop an understanding of the relationship between...
Curated OER
Educating K-12 Students about Glacier Dynamics in a Changing Climate
Students determine which of the following parameters, slope, ice, temperature or basal condition affects the glacier speed the most. They create their own experiment to test what influences glacier speed and temperature of the ice.
Curated OER
Color of Stars
Students study the color of stars. In this astronomy based activity, students observe the colors in an open flame and apply the information collected about color and temperature to the visible light emitting from the photosphere of...
Curated OER
Properties of Matter
Students describe four states of matter and their characteristics, explain thermal expansion of matter, interpret state changes in terms of kinetic theory of matter, explain relationship between temperature and volume of a gas, state...
Curated OER
How Pollution Disrupts Our Natural Environment
Students conduct experiments to illustrate global warming. In this air pollution lesson, students first examine how a layer of greenhouse gasses might impact the earth's atmospheric temperature, then evaluate how the layer of gasses...
Curated OER
Chemical Reaction Rates
Learners observe demonstrations to show factors that affect rates of chemical reactions. In this rates of chemical reactions lesson, students investigate how catalysts, reactant concentrations, temperature and surface area affect the...
Curated OER
Boyle's Law
In this Boyle's Law worksheet, students investigate the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas at constant temperature. They use a syringe and a pressure gauge attached to a computer to collect their data. They create...
Curated OER
Chemistry Is a Gas
Learners investigate the gas laws and how they apply to changes in gases. In this gas laws lesson, students use Boyle's Law and Charles' law to show the relationships between pressure and volume and volume and temperature of gases.
Curated OER
Math in Science-Sound Reasoning
In this basic math skills worksheet, students use division, decimals and multiplication to calculate the speed of sound in water and compare it to the speed in air. They calculate distances sound travels in water and the time it takes...
