Students explore the adaptations that are made by polar bears. They discuss the color of polar bears as well as the dominant color that is found in the arctic. Students create a polar bear puppet.

In this counting worksheet, students count polar animals, writing their count on lines beside each. Page uses numbers 1-3 only; a reference website is included for additional resources.

Almost a complete lesson in itself, this presentation will enhance any bonding and compounds unit. The concepts included are charges of atoms lending to particular molecular structures, the stability of bonds and how to diagram them....

A well-written lesson plan, second in a series of four, gets high schoolers exploring how the Antarctic food web is impacted by climate change and the associated melting of polar ice sheets. It begins with a PowerPoint presentation about...

Beyond the phases of the moon, this comprehensive lesson plan covers geologic history and geology. Amateur astronauts examine photos of the lunar landscape, experiment with the creation of craters, and delve into information about the...

Diamonds are a girl's best friend! Crystal labs can be a science teacher's best friend because watching crystals develop is fascinating, and it results in such a pretty product! This activity is unique because the crystals are grown...

Without water there would be no life on this planet. Biology learners find out why by reading this handout. Create a worksheet of questions to answer after the reading. Follow it up with quick demonstrations or laboratory activities that...

All different types of bonding are covered in this PowerPoint, along with details of resulting bond and molecule shapes. The definitions of traditional molecule shapes and characteristics of behavior are very useful to assist in...

In this everyday editing worksheet, students correct grammatical mistakes in a short paragraph about the author of The Polar Express and Jumanji, Chris Van Allsburg. The errors range from capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

Gosh those polar regions can get cold. So, how do the animals that live there survive the long winters? Learners explore how animals adapted to survive harsh wintry conditions by completing a worksheet and comparing animal survival...

A kaleidoscope is constructed using polarizing polymer paper and then low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, and polypropylene are all melted onto individual glass slides and examined through a microscope. The intent is to...

Four pages provide plenty of problem solving practice for chemistry whizzes. They answer questions and write electron configurations for ions. They use Lewis dot diagrams to display equations. Covalent bonds are explored. The last half...

Knowing about the hydrologic cycle is the first step to understanding the carbon cycle. Upper graders discuss the earth's water content, polar ice caps, and the concept of the ecological cycle as it applies to carbon, nitrogen, and other...

Learn about polar bears and the Arctic circle with a lesson about the countries and conditions of the region. After examining how the area differs from Antarctica, kids explore climates, animals, and geographical position...

Camille Seaman's photoessay, "Witnessing Icebergs" documents just a tip of the problem of climate change through images of icebergs in both the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions. After viewing the haunting images, viewers respond...

First graders read a story about polar bears and make observations as they read. In this observations lesson plan, 1st graders listen carefully and sing a bear chant.

Young scholars complete lab activities to investigate the "sticky" properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action, due to the polarity of the molecules.

Students investigate the vision adaptations in marine animals in their environments. For this life science lesson, students use polarized filters and make observations.  Students explain how the adaptation of polarized vision is an...

In this math worksheet, students describe in terms of reflections what happens to a point when (r, θ) in polar coordinates changes. They also discuss the concept of symmetry.

For this physical equilibrium worksheet, students compare polar and non-polar compounds and the solubility of specific solutes in solvents. Students calculate molar heat, molar solubility, and molality for specific reactions. This...

Learners create an artistic response to the book, The Polar Express. In this creative writing activity, students read the book and visualize an imaginary journey they would like to go on. Learners create a train car from construction...

In this molecular geometry and VSEPR worksheet, students find bond angles, hybridization, determine polarity and draw orbital box diagrams of molecules. They determine molecular geometry and bond angles of given molecules and determine...

Students identify map projections and examine polar maps. In this map skills lesson, students use a flat world map to identify various projections and calculate the distances between locations by using a map scale.

In this molecules worksheet, students determine if the molecules given would have a dipole moment, either polar or nonpolar. This worksheet has 27 fill in the blank questions.
