Students draw isopleths based on how many pieces of "confetti snow" land in their cup.

Students investigate climatological changes that are occurring to the Earth. In this climate change lesson, students access an assigned web site to view maps and lessons that show how climate change makes a difference to life on Earth.

Young scholars examine how satellite signals are sent and duplicate it with a mirror, flashlight and black paper.

Students examine what happens to air when it is heated or cooled. They conduct an experiment using bottles and balloons, record and discuss their observations, and write a hypothesis.

Students work on the development of observation skills and seeing how they can be used in different contexts. The lesson is good for helping the beginner and novice, along with encouraging and reminding the expert observer of right...

In creating a tornado, students create a model tornado in a two-liter soda bottle. In order to accomplish this feat, students label each of their bottles with a marker, then tape the mouths of the bottle together and fill with water....

Students examine NASA's SeaWiFS Project Web site to explore how the SeaWiFS Project monitors environmental and climatic changes in the oceans and atmosphere. They answer questions and write a summary in support of continued funding for...

Students compile information about rainfall, lake elevations and releases of water from Tuttle Creek reservoir into maps, graphs and charts.

Students examine the various stages of the water cycle. In groups, they complete a hands-on activity by creating model water cycle. Students design posters representing each of the seven stages of the water cycle.

Students identify the causes and effects of acid rain. Using the internet, they research pollution sources in their local area and by collecting rain samples and testing the pH. In groups, they develop their own plan urging local...

Students arrange themselves into small groups. Each group chooses a distance to measure ( the distance between the slide and the swings, for instance). Person #1 walks the distance, counting the number of his or her steps. Persons 2...

Students participate in a virtual field trip to Lake Superior. In groups, they perform experiments in which test the level of toxins and bacteria in the water. They also watch video segments life in the lake and discuss their observations.

Students manipulate Hudson River salt front data from October 2004 - September 2005 to locate the high and low points of the salt front for each month, They determine the range for each month, determine the modal range for each month,...

In this lakes worksheet, learners access a website to answer 14 multiple choice questions about watersheds, lakes, and lake succession.

Students participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

Learners work in groups to make an instrument the Meteorologists use to measure the speed of the wind after the teacher reads them a poem about the wind. Students then review vocabulary that they studied from their lesson.

Students pick up science knowledge as they track and examine natural disasters. They keep a daily journal of results and reflections. Students get to follow a real tornado chaser and learn thunderstorm formation. They incorporate how...

Pupils analyze a map and graph information on eleven countries. Using the characteristics of the countries, they determine if they should host the summer or winter Olympic games. After viewing a video, they locate the latitudes of the...

Third graders examine the Greenhouse Effect, how it operates and finally allows the student to experiment using a model created in the classroom. They explain how the greenhouse effect affects the Earth.

Learn how to predict and evaluate weather forecasts.

Want to learn how to forecast ocean weather? This c.o.o.l. project lists each of the steps in the scientific process, and has you work through each in this earth science based project.

Accurate and timely weather forecasting is necessary to protect people and property. Methods of forecasting a presented.

Students will Collect data, then make weather predictions from the weather patterns.

Second graders will record and track weather patterns through the year.
