Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources: Mining in B.C.
Students explore energy by categorizing rocks. In this British Columbia geology lesson, students define many different vocabulary terms associated with mining such as sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Students utilize sample rock...
Curated OER
Climate Change: Carbon Cycle
Students explore the carbon cycle. In this carbon cycle lesson, students discuss the four main reservoirs where carbon is stored and then discover the process through which each reservoir absorbs and releases CO2. This lesson includes a...
Curated OER
I, Robot, Can Do That!
Students describe the three types of underwater robots and the advantages and disadvantages of using them. In this underwater lesson students are given a task and identify the best robot for the job.
NorthEast Ohio Geoscience Education Outreach
Carbon Cycle
Using a jigsaw approach, earth science experts teach each other about the physical, biological, and geologic components of the carbon cycle, with a specific focus on the ocean.
Curated OER
Hot Rocks
Students demonstrate that setting of plaster and cement is a change, which involves a release of heat energy, use data collected experimentally to construct comparison graphs and analyze the graphs to make predictions about future...
Curated OER
Rock Eater
Learners examine the effects of acid rain by
performing a simulation experiment. They also view the
effects of acid rain and erosion on the reservation and record observations in a science log.
Curated OER
Rubber Egg
Learners demonstrate the semi-permeability of a cell membrane. In this rubber egg lesson, students measure and record egg data, place the egg in jar with vinegar and close the lid, observe immediately and periodically for the next 3...
Curated OER
Groundwater as Part of the Water Cycle
Ninth graders study the effects of soil and rocks on filtering groundwater. In this groundwater lesson students complete a lab activity that includes sources of contamination.
Curated OER
What is a Karst
Students investigate landforms by holding a class experiment. In this topography lesson, students define the word "karst" and discover why sinkholes are created on the surface of the Earth by completing worksheets. Students create a...
Curated OER
Distant Relatives
Students investigate observations between widely separated populations of anchialine cave fauna. In this biogeography lesson students discuss theories that could explain the given observations.
Curated OER
The Robot Explorer
Young scholars design a robotic vehicle to explore underwater caves. For this robot technology lesson, students brainstorm, research, and report about a robotic vehicle design capable of sensing objects and taking appropriate actions to...
Curated OER
Exothermic Rehydration of Gypsum
Students observe exothermic reactions in the lab using plaster. In this chemistry instructional activity, students collect data from their experimental set up every five minutes. They explain the different stages in the hardening of...
Curated OER
Pyrites
Students examine the mineral pyrite and discover the differences between it and gold. In this mineral lesson students identify minerals using their common properties.
Curated OER
Carving Stone with Copper
Students explain the properties of copper as a material for making tools and explain the properties of different chisel points. They gain practice taking notes on qualitative and quantitative data.
Curated OER
Soil Buffering
Students observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.
Curated OER
Making Sedimentary Rocks
Pupils discover that sedimentary rocks like coal are formed by the cementing together of smaller pieces of rocks or like coal, from the accumulation of plant material.
Curated OER
Rock Cycle
Fourth graders participate in a Rock Cycle game to gain an understanding of the cycles that form metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks.
