Students complete an experiment.  For this water pollution lesson, students brainstorm information about river habitats and water pollution. Students then read the story Freddy the Fish and complete an experiment where they use a...

How can everyone in the world have access to clean drinking water? Throughout the instructional activity, learners read about and listen to how water is filtered, what the filtration process removes, and  the best ways to filter....

Students experiment with making a water filtration system. In this engineering lesson, students get into groups and are challenged to use only eight items to create a water filter. When finished, students compare and contrast their results.

Learn about wastewater and recycled water with a science reading activity. After learners finish a two-page passage about conserving the water supply, they answer six comprehension questions about what they have read.

Examine the structures of the kidney and then define the functions of the specialised structures.  Every will find this powerpoint engaging, many of the images will present facts such as osmolarity of interstitial fluid and the...

Students explore the causes of water pollution. In this environmental lesson, students conduct experiments with natural filtration systems.

Students investigate our water system and how it is filtered. In this science lesson, students perform a laboratory activity to investigate the process that goes into filtering water. They relate this activity to other subject areas...

Students investigate different methods (aeration and filtering) for removing pollutants from water. They design and build their own water filters. Students identify the pollutants in a water sample using sight and smell, explore what...

Learners explore the causes of water pollution and its effects on the environment through the use of models and scientific investigation. In the accompanying activities, they investigate filtration and aeration processes as they are used...

Explore homeostasis in animals with this all-encompassing worksheet. Advanced biology pupils consider a variety of mechanisms for maintaining internal conditions such as temperature and waste products. Eighteen short-answer questions...

When nature calls, you need to answer. Physiology learners discover that it is a just your body's way of regulating pressure and water content. Along with osmoregulation, they also examine thermoregulation, two vital processes with which...

Students enter the room, receive a film canister that contains materials that be added to the dirty water bell jar. They record on their data table who or what is doing the adding and the actual substance that has been added to the bell...

Fifth graders draw a plan that they think will clean the sludge in a jar. Students construct the treatment system they designed, take a bottle of sludge to the system and try it out, writing down what happened.

Students explore the concept of water quality. In this drinking water lesson plan, students discuss the quality of water around the world, conduct research about drinking water, and then write essays about water quality.

Students work together to examine the role of water in their lives. They discover the process to clean water so it is clean for one to drink. They explore the role of environmental engineers and their problem of getting clean water to...

Students construct a still to turn seawater into drinking water. They estimate the cost of distilling it. They investigate ways to make the conversion more efficient. They track the source of their home drinking water and make a map of...

Young scholars examine various types of household materials for their usefulness as filters. They work together in teams to design a filtration system that produces the cleanest water in the shortest time.

In this biology worksheet, students look at the function of filtering in the nephron of the kidneys and the biochemistry is emphasized.

Fourth graders simulate filtration of water containing contaminates to determine how nature cleans water. They make predictions, report observations, and construct reasonable explanations concerning their outcomes. then connect this to...

Your class will learn all about the function of the kidney and how  it operates in animals from different habitats.  The methods of absorption, filtering and excretion are detailed and pupils will learn of the different...

Students are able to describe the importance of wetland vegetation. They describe the impacts human activities have on water systems. Students compare and contrast the effect of different soil types on water filtration.

Students design and construct a water filter using activated carbon, cotton and other materials to remove chocolate powder from water. They test and record their observations, and complete a KWL chart.

In this urinary system worksheet, students review the role the kidneys and nephrons play in the formation of urine. Students order the steps of the filtration of blood. This worksheet has 3 short answer and 10 fill in the blank questions.

Students, through a series of lessons, study the various processes of treating wastewater. They participate in discussion and complete various worksheets and a hands-on activity, in which they observe the processes of filtration and...
