The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. Explore its origins, organisms, and contributing rivers with this PowerPoint. It opens with several slides of general information on the formation of estuaries, then it...

Introduce middle school science learners to condensation with this presentation. It begins with a brief explanation of the process and humidity, but does not present all of the details. Three demonstrations need to be set up ahead of...

While the topic of this investigation is not specific to any particular discipline of science, it does serve as a practice of the scientific method. Learners set up a bowl containing boiling water, one with room temperature water, and...

Students use books to find quotes about or related to water. They use the subject or the style of the quote to inspire them to create their own famous words and paint a watercolor picture to accompany it.

Tenth graders examine the heating curve of water when head is added constantly over time. They input values into a calculator as they record water temperature every thirty seconds as it is heated on a hot plate. They complete the...

Young scholars experiment with making a water filtration system. For this engineering lesson, students get into groups and are challenged to use only eight items to create a water filter. When finished, young scholars compare and...

Young scholars explore how water and waves erode the earth. In this erosion lesson students determine the processes of wave erosion and building.

Students explain the important role of water in the body. In this adult health lesson, students examine foods with high water content. They share ways to get the recommended amount of water per day.

In this fractions worksheet, 6th graders complete multiple choice questions about fractions of items based on hypothetical outcomes regarding water and paint. Students complete 15 problems.

Students examine the different parts of a plant and each ones role.  In this exploratory activity students complete several activities including a game of charades.

Students study watersheds and use topo maps to help explore where they are located.  In this watershed lesson plan students delineate their watershed on their own. 

Students make something that will last forever. In this art lesson, students make a handprint out of clay.

Students explore ways to protect the earth.  For this environmental issues and technology lesson, students investigate the water quality in their community and compare their findings to the water quality in other geographic...

Students study ecology, listen to speakers and research conservation topics.  In this investigative lesson students discuss wilderness resources, learn about Native Americans and participate in activities that help them to better...

Pupils model rain erosion. In this erosion lesson, students construct a landscape out of sand and dirt in a metal pan. They make it rain on the landscape and observe the erosion that occurs.

Students build a model of an estuary. In this wetland lesson, students build a model estuary with a paint tray and modeling clay. They use the model to illustrate the impact of non-point pollution on the watershed.

Students observe, measure, and communicate while observing water convert from a solid to a liquid and back again. In this solid and liquid lesson plan, students answer questions as they observe this change.

Young scholars conduct an experiment. For this forms of water lesson, students observe ice to see what changes take place and then write in their journal about what they observed.

Students explore the states of matter. In this physical science lesson, students observe what happens to water when it freezes and record observations. Students then observe ice when it melts and record observations.

Students investigate the states of matter. In this physics lesson, students use water and ice to demonstrate the characteristics of a solid and liquid. Students record their observations as the state of the water changes.

Learners explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students complete a hands-on activity that replicates the water cycle. Learners record their observations.

Learners investigate water in its solid and liquid form. In this states of matter lesson, students experiment to see what happens as water goes from a solid, ice, to a liquid, water, and back again. They write about and illustrate the...

Students observe and discuss the change of water to ice and back again. In this water and ice lesson, students observe the change in temperature and what happens when water freezes and turns to ice and vice versa.

In this watershed worksheet, students read through related definitions and complete 17 short answer questions about deposition and erosion in the Hudson River.
