Students play the role of a Ranger with the Department of Forestry.  In this forest fires lesson, students examine data on biomes and images to determine high risk areas for forest fires to develop.  

In this science worksheet, high schoolers are involved in questions about the events that cause and sustain fires. The chemistry of fire is the primary focus.

Learners examine their assumptions about forest fires. They explore the conflicts involved with the forest service's new strategy. in addition, they will study one case where a prescribed natural burn had a significant impact on a later,...

Students explain the components of fire, explain how forest fires impact man and the environment, analyze data in order to recognize areas that are at risk for forest fires, make recommendations based on research.

Students consider how forest fires are both damaging and beneficial to forests.  In this earth science lesson, students are read the book Fire! In Yellowstone by Robert Ekey and watch "Fire Ecology" and "Two Sides of Fire" before...

Students consider the effects of a wildfire on prairie life. They explore the ways that plants regenerate after a fire and create fictional plants that have adapted specifically to the prairie environment. They share models of their plants.

A diagram showing a cross-section of Earth points out the location of different plate boundaries and displays the numbers one through five. Beneath the diagram are five photos of different types of volcanoes. The object of the activity...

Students create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast wildfires and prescribed fires. For this earth science lesson, students conduct a series of experiment to explore fire characteristics. They describe favorable conditions to start a...

Young scholars observe teacher demonstration, discuss Fire Triangle, examine three things that fire needs to continue burning, including fuel, oxygen, and heat, and discuss how Stop, Drop, and Roll strategy is safest method of stopping...

Students discuss the benefits and problems associated with fire. They discuss the role that fire plays in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Students brainstorm ways that fire can be harmful, such as damaging homes, communities, and...

Students explore forest fires and forest service's new stategies. They study a case of natural burn and the impact of lowering the intensity of a larger forest fire.

Students explore forestry. They discuss creating fire breaks to control forest fires. Students create models to determine the best way to manage forest fires. They discuss current techniques of forest management.

Students discuss what humans need to stay alive. They observe a candle that is lit and talk about candle safety and controls. They think about what a candle needs to keep burning and relate it to what people need to stay alive. They...

Can natural disasters alter natural selection? The interactive explores this concept with mice living through a forest fire. As the environment changes, the camouflage also changes. How does this one disaster impact future generations?

Emerging scientists research weather-related vocabulary terms, and map out where wildfires are most likely to occur. To bring this lesson to life, you could demonstrate what happens to a fire when you cool or remove the fuel, or cut off...

Young scholars research geological forces that create the Ring of Fire and its effects on cultures. They write reports on how natural disasters influence societies.

In this winter-themed coloring instructional activity, students color the scene of people by a fire and then respond to 3 short answer questions.

Students explore first-person accounts of volcanic eruptions throughout time and use second-hand information about volcanoes. They use both types of accounts to write news articles covering the events of a historic volcanic eruption as...

A pumpkin and a candle are all you need to help teach your students about what keep a flame going, and what factors lead to its going out. A lot of rich discussion should result from this fun activity. A great addition to a science...

Students are able to identifty items that use electricity. They identify 10 household items that run on electricity. Students understand and articulate that electricity is to be respected. Electricity is helpful, but it also can cause...

Light a fire in your pupils! Scholars conduct a flame test and observe the emission spectra of several different salts in an enlightening hands-on investigation. They use their observations to make comparisons and conclusions about the...

Here are nine motion problems for physics fanatics to solve. Topics are pretty typical: rifles firing bullets, freight train cars colliding, astronauts gliding through space, balls being thrown. Pupils compute recoil speed, combined...

Students participate in a mock fire escape plan in this lesson. They identify the reasons for remaining calm, closing doors, ad testing doors between rooms and the main exits. They also watch a experiment that demonstrates what fire...

Students read books, learn about the letter f, and eat ice cream all to learn about firefighters. In this fire fighters lesson plan, students also string beads to look like fire hose and visit a fire house.
