The goal of this collection of lessons is to make middle schoolers more aware of the ways in which they are dependent upon water to maintain their standard of living. Learners compare water use in Lesotho to water use in the United...

Students study the importance of clean water to the survival of organisms and what activiities and material pollute water. They measure the temperature of water samples and create a class graph.

Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional shapes...

Connect your pupils to the problem by presenting a situation with which they can identify. Individuals analyze a graph of water use at a school by reasoning and making conclusions about the day. The instructional activity...

The article for this lesson no longer accessible through the links in the lesson plan, but can be found in the National Center for Biotechnology Information website. After reading it, environmental science learners answer questions and...

Pupils set up their own monitoring system. They collect samples from an appropriate sampling site. They analyze data and determine the water quality. They present their information to the class and draw a conclusion.

Students explore the basics of interpreting RUSS temperature and oxygen profile data. They are introduced to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly with respect to interpreting maps.

Learners develop a process for analyzing collected bayou data. They find the mathematical relationships among various biological factors. Students, work collaboratively using technology in their data analysis.

Students investigate the different hormone contaminants in the water supply. In this math lesson, students analyze data tables and graphs. They demonstrate exponential growth and decay using frog populations.

Discuss the availability of clean, plentiful water and the causes of water pollution. In groups, sixth graders discuss problem-solving methods for keeping water clean. They explore the function of water treatment plants and perform...

Lead the way in learning about lead contamination. Pupils first read several articles about the Flint water crisis and the EPA's rules for lead concentration. They use provided data from 71 Flint water wells to compute the 90th...

Students identify aquatic insects. In this organism lesson, students locate aquatic insects near a local waterway and collect them. Students graph the amount of insects that they collected.

Learners determine with math concepts how much plastic pollution is affecting marine life. In this plastic pollution lesson plan, students collect scientific data from a field trip to a water treatment plant.

Students examine a water bill from their household and examine it to find out how much water is used each month. They read their home water meters at the same time of the day for seven days and then construct a graph using their data.

Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to test...

Students describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and analyze...

Students perform serial dilution of food coloring experiment with partner, examine concentration levels, and differentiate parts per million (PPM) and parts per billion (PPB). Students complete pre-lab and post-lab questions and data table.

Students research the economic importance of the major reservoirs in Illinois. In groups, they manage a budget for one of the lakes to promote tourism in the area. They also work together to create advertisements.

Activity uses water-quality data from Rock Creek Park to illustrate elementary statistical measures of exploratory data analysis. The focus of the lesson is the nutrient limitation in a stream and the three measures of central tendency.

Read the passage "Qualitative Analysis of Contaminated Water Supply," and complete the five-question quiz related to qualitative analysis.

6th grade students from Oakland, California, created this report to show their answer to the question: "What do the dissolved oxygen levels tell us about the water quality of Lake Merritt?" Students explored this question to collect...
