Students describe weather conditions and climates. They describe patterns of changing weather and how they are measured. Students explain and predict general weather patterns and storms. They use this experiment as a safe and easy way to...

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Students create a scale model of the affected area of the Chernobyl disaster. Using this scale model, they simulate the explosion and the resulting uneven dispersal of fallout due particularly to wind direction and weather conditions.

Learners simulate some of the Pathfinder experiments by devising methods of collecting and measuring magnetic substances in pseudo-Martian soil. The efficiency of each of the methods used to collect materials is evaluated in this lesson.

Students measure in metric units and use a stopwatch, calculator. They collect data with minimal instructions after the initial pre-activity briefing, then record data in the data sheets provided.

Learners design and implement an experiment intended to measure and analyze the air quality of a particular location. They focus on looking for ozone and particulate pollutants.

Fourth graders explore the earth's revolution around the sun and the changes in weather that follow this motion.

Students use bearing measurements to triangulate and determine objects' locations. Working in teams of two or three, students must put on their investigative hats as they take bearing measurements to specified landmarks in their...

Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.

Students identify foods that are made from wheat. They use a line graph to explain measurement. They identify foods from the food groups and explain how temperature, prefcipitation and natural resources affect the growth of wheat.

Students observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

First graders study the months of the year. They enjoy making a class book using their birthdays and the types of weather in that month. After a lecture/demo, 1st graders utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to design their book.

Students monitor weather conditions for an eighteen day period at a specific location. The temperature of both air and water is taken and the mean, median, and mode calculated. Differences between the highest and lowest recordings are made.

Third graders make and maintain a mini terrarium. They keep a daily journal of what happens in their terrarium and record daily observations and measurements.

Students enjoy a review game to measure their knowledge about physical activity and the various components of fitness.

Learners will analyze how water enters different soils, how readily it passes through and how much water is held.1. Materials needed for the activity are; pint of clay, pint of sand, pint of loam, newspaper, three frozen fruit juice...

In this ellipses worksheet, students measure and calculate the eccentricity of each ellipse and then calculate the percent deviation. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

Students discover Japanese culture and the importance of Sakura to Japan. In this international festival lesson, students demonstrate an appreciation for the Sakura trees beauty by creating Sakura trees from white and pink dyed cotton...

Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.

Young scholars construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric...

Middle schoolers work in teams of 2 to complete the presentation portion of the assignment. They may be required to work alone or may work with their partner to complete the "Board Member's Responses."

Fourth graders explore and discuss the process of evaporation. They discuss how wet things become dry. Students observe the process of evaporation and they make predictions about the observations they make about evaporation. Students...

Students discover that different textured materials can absorb more heat than others. Students work with thermometers, clocks, and graphs.

Young scholars record the daily outdoor temperature as well as the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a determined period. They calculate the average temperature and minutes of sunlight per day and post their data on the project...
