What Kind of Geologist Am I?
Transform your class into young geologists as they learn about six different branches of geology. Using the included geology career descriptions and picture cards, learners work in small groups deciding which tools and locations fit...
Curated OER
Recent Volcanoes And Earthquakes:
Students investigate the current model for the structure of the Earth. On a world map, they mark areas where they think earthquakes and volcanoes occur and compare those areas with earthquake and volcano location patterns.
Curated OER
Simple Machines: The Wede & Lever
Young scholars describe how wedge and lever makes work easier. In this physics lesson, students analyze experimental data by creating a graph to see the trends. They calculate the work done and mechanical advantage of these simple machines.
Curated OER
Earthquake Experiments
Middle schoolers discuss the effects of earthquakes. In this earth science lesson, students create earthquake models and earthquake-proof buildings. They construct their own seismograph.
Curated OER
Circles
Tenth graders explore and define the radius and diameter of a circle. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders calculate the circumference and area of a circle using real world objects and shapes. They discuss chords and lines tangent to a...
Curated OER
Plate Tectonic Cycle
Learners explore the Earth's movements by completing worksheets. In this plate tectonics instructional activity, students define such natural disasters as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and mudslides and discuss their connections to...
Curated OER
Idaho Earthquakes
Students examine the types of earthquakes that occur in Idaho. In groups, they compare and contrast the types of energy released and how they affect the movement of the Earth. To end the lesson, they analyze a map showing the magnitudes...
Curated OER
Earth Science: The Structure of the Earth
Young scholars identify and complete activities about the structure of the Earth. In this Earth structure lesson, students view a Powerpoint about the Earth's layers and complete a diagram. young scholars compare temperatures in the...
Curated OER
Chemical and Physical Changes
Eighth graders investigate different gas behaviors. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe how changing volume and temperature affect gas particles motion. They collect data and make a generalization about these variables'...
Curated OER
Water Quality
Students analyze water quality and turbidity of collected samples. In this physics lesson plan, students conduct tests to identify the suspended particles in the samples. They explain how human activities affect water quality.
Curated OER
Seismology in the Classroom
Students work together to use a sample seismograph. They role play the position of an engineering firm that is to analyze the machine. They discover how engineers develop new machines to take measurements.
Curated OER
Journey Through Earth
Students study plate tectonics. In this plate tectonics activity students build a cutaway scale model of the Earth.
Curated OER
Earthquake Science Project
Students simulate the Earth's plates moving like an earthquake by using newspaper and soil. In this earthquake lesson plan, students push and pull the newspaper together that has soil on top and observe what happens.
Curated OER
Conducting Research
Sixth graders write research reports about trains. They focus on mechanical features of trains.
Curated OER
OCEAN TSUNAMI
Students research the concept of a tsunami in detail and the implications of its effect upon a seashore is considered. The causes of a tsunami are investigated and compared with each other.
Curated OER
Learning from history: can it save lives?
Young scholars research and document lessons learned from this disaster, then compile and synthesize information. They write effectively for public education purposes and use visual communications tools
