Young scholars evaluate the effects of temperature changes on the metabolic rate of a clam. Conclusion questions are addressed which help students to process and articulate their experiences.

Students identify and classify characteristics of the four pre-European cultures in Wisconsin. They playing a game about the different characteristics that belong to each of the cultures studied.

Students determine if the angle of light bombardment is a factor in heat absorption. They correlate these findings to the tilt of the Earth and the seasons. Students fold a pice of black construction paper in half, lengthwise. They tape...

Young scholars investigate the angle of light and how it faces the earth. They conduct a series of investigations with the following two objectives. Students determine if the angle of light is a factor in the absorption of heat. They...

Students determine how much moisture in the air affects the diurnal temperature range. They investigate to determine the different climatological regimes of both the Southern Plains and the world. and greenhouse gases effect the earth's...

In this taxonomy instructional activity, students understand how organisms are classified using Linnaeus' system. Students classify organisms as either plant or animal. This instructional activity has 24 fill in the blank and 6 matching...
