Students collect temperatures using a probe and examine data.  In this temperature lesson students complete an activity using a graphing calculator. 

Discuss with your oceanographers what forces cause nearshore upwelling and downwelling. Display a line of wind vectors alongside a graph of the temperatures so that they can discover whether or not they are related. Discussion questions...

Students examine the three states of matter. They identify the segments of heating and cooling curves. Students analyze data and create a graph to determine the freezing and melting temperature of water.

Fourth graders explore negative numbers with this resource. They discuss positive and negative numbers by counting who is present and absent, placing numbers on a number line, and graphing temperatures. Using a variety of activities,...

This very thorough lesson plan has students collect all ingredients necessary and work in pairs to make ice cream using plastic bags. They take temperature readings and record them on the chart as well as record findings on the...

Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Even high schoolers enjoy making ice cream. This laboratory exercise has them record the temperature changes throughout the process of liquid becoming solid, graph the results, and...

Use circle time to work on counting. Kindergarteners practice the months of the year, say the full date, chart the day's temperature, count to 100, and sing the alphabet song. This kind of daily routine cultivates deep roots for...

Biology learners investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on yeast alcoholic fermentation. During the lesson,they compare and contrast the processes of cellular respiration and alcoholic fermentation. They design an experiment to...

Young scholars study wind and its effect on weather.  In this investigative lesson students write a report on wind and weather and create a movement sequence. 

In this earth science worksheet on sunlight and soil, students use data collected in a chart to construct two graphs. Following, they answer five questions as they relate to the experiment performed.

Ninth graders study the Big Bang theory.  In this big bang theory lesson students research the Internet and complete several activities and create a presentation.

Learners explore the ways in which wind is formed and how it affects our weather.

Learners explore the characteristics of major ecosystems, the interactions of the organisms within the systems, and the effects of humans on the system. Both living and non-living components are examined in this five lesson unit.

In this weather learning exercise, students will compare and contrast the differences in spring and summer weather. This learning exercise has 8 fill in the blank statements.

In this seasons worksheet, students will write or draw what the weather is like during each of the 4 seasons in this graphic organizer.

In this climate worksheet, students read 4 statements about different causes of climate patterns or weather changes. Students write in the effect of these causes in this graphic organizer.

In this weather tracking worksheet, students track their local weather for 4 days. First, they track their local weather for a few days. Then, students record the forecast for a few days to see how close the actual weather conditions...

Students investigate the four seasons in a year. In this seasons lesson, students explore the weather during each season.  Students illustrate each season with pictures.
