Pupils demonstrate that, although we sometimes can neither smell nor taste them, many ingredients in our foods and household products come from the sea. They also investigate food eat to determine algae derivatives they contain.

Students design a space settlement to live in and give an oral presentation of their creation.

Students explain the psychological effects of living in space. They esign the houses and interior of a space settlement, make decisions about the running of a space settlement, and explore the human factors involved in space colonization.

Students discover that sunspots are the result of intense magnetic forces on the photosphere of the sun by observing images from the SOHO satellite.

Students use yearly averages over a five-year period to understand weather trends for a specific area.

Pupils learn about remote sensing in terms of what it is and how it is used.

Students research the development of remote sensing, various instruments used throughout time and create a time line depicting the history of remote sensing.

Students become aware of the important role the ocean plays in our lives. Students will gain general knowledge about the ocean by reading information on the Internet. They discover the weather events generated by ocean conditions.

Students are introduced and increase proficiency in the use of the hand held GPS system. They explore the meaning of longitude and latitude lines, then identify the parts of the map.

Students use the Internet to learn and/or review map and globe skills and will recognize the difference in perspectives as shown on maps.

Students recognize that our ability to explore the extremes of the ocean is directly related to the technology of remote sensing. Students will recognize the deep submergence vehicle, Alvin, and the advanced sensors on board as tools for...

Students are introduced to remote sensing equipment used to gather information about the moon. They learn basic facts about the moon such as size, landforms, temperature and gravitational influence on the earth's tides.

Students understand what the Global Positioning System (GPS) is and how it works. They discover the history of the development of GPS and how the military uses GPS. They realize why GPS was essential to the success of Operation Desert...

Learners are introduced to the the formula for calculating travel time. They listen to different scenarios relating to long distance travel into space and calculate travel time using the formula.

Students study classification schemes for identifying sunspots. They distinguish between sunspot unbrae and penunbrae, measure sunspots, and compare them to the size of the Earth. They complete a worksheet showing classification of...

Students examine the distances between the Sun, planets, and smaller objects in the Solar System. They design a model using beads that shows the scale distances of the Solar System using astronomical units converted into a 10 centimeter...

Young scholars design a calendar that displays time on Mars. They explore the differences between time on Earth and time on Mars while making the calendar.

Students investigate the International Space Station. They complete a KWL chart, participate in a class discussion, and draw a picture of the International Space Station.

Learners create rockets out of wood. They practice using comparison words to describe the differences in height. They also color pictures of rockets from different countries.

Students create and launch their own paper rockets. They complete graphs to show distances. They discuss what modifications could be made to make it go further.

Students cut out and color their own rocket. They use clues in relation to numbers and words to find hidden rockets. They ask each other questions to determine the exact location.

Students discover how rockets can reach a higher altitude by using staging. They use balloons to demonstrate this concept and then practice with rockets. They discuss the results to end the lesson.

Pupils investigate the concept of planetary differentiation. They complete an experiment to simulate it using gelatin and food. The lesson includes vocabulary to increase reading comprehension skills as part of the inquiry. The lesson...
