Curated OER
Atmosphere
This is a very basic presentation of the layers of the atmosphere. It divides the atmosphere into four layers and pretty much only mentions the elevation and order of each. The last of seven slides shows a pie graph and data table of the...

How Does Temperature Affect Time in the Pupa Stage?
Students make observations of pupa larvae to make notes on the development into the monarch butterfly. The observations teach learners about the life cycle and graphing is done to record the statistical analysis.
Curated OER
How does Temperature Affect Time in the Pupa Stage?
Learners are guided through the Scientific Method to perform observations about the pupa stage of the monarch butterfly. The results of an experiment are used to make assumptions about growth and development.
Curated OER
Temperature Probe
Fourth graders perform activities that involve electronic measurements through probe software. Students collect data and create a variety of visual formats: graphs, charts, tables, and gauges. They compare and contrast their data to...
Curated OER
Sowing Seeds of Service
Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...
Curated OER
What Factors Affect Climate?
In this climate worksheet, students brainstorm the causes and effects of different factors that affect the climate. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
Remove Pollutants from Water
Learners examine how to remove pollutants from water to create clean water. In this boiling water lesson students complete a lab activity that purifies water.
Curated OER
Relative Humidity & Dew Point
Students use a 24-hour graph of air temperature, relative humidity, and dew point to describe at least one reason why the variables change (or don't change) during the day. They use given scenarios to identify and describe the problems...
Curated OER
Air Masses
Young scholars are given maps depicting two or more air masses and they then categorize bodies of air by temperature and moisture characteristics. They recognize large regions of similar type air. Students are given a map of air...
Curated OER
Weather Math Student Worksheet
In this weather math worksheet, students will use weather.com to find the forecasted temperatures for their home town. Using data from the website, students will find the average highs and lows for their selected cities. Then students...
Curated OER
Running on Metrics
High schoolers use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic...
Curated OER
Creek Monitoring
Sixth graders conduct a variety of assessments at a local stream to determine if it is a suitable habitat for salmon. They measure temperature, tubidity, dissolved oxygen, pH levels, bacteria and nutrients. In this unit, 6th graders work...
Curated OER
Upwelling Terrestrial Radiation
Students calculate the hourly irradiance of the earth at a site given the near-surface air temperature of the site. They compare the calculated values of irradiance with those measured by instruments at the site. Students need to...
Curated OER
Ice Ain't Easy
Students are introduced to the laws of thermodynamics. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that the energy must be conserved when two objects of different temperatures come in contact. If one object gains energy, the other object must...
Curated OER
Using Standard Deviation, part 2
Students explain and learn the practical application of standard deviation. They compare cities in the U.S. and discover whether cities closer to the ocean have more consistent temperatures. Useful resources are given.
Curated OER
Phase Changes
In this science worksheet, students examine the physical changes associated with the change of temperature and mixtures. The answers are included.
Curated OER
Hess's Law
For this reactions worksheet, students use Hess's Law to calculate the heat gained or lost by different reactions. Students determine if the reaction would occur spontaneously at a given temperature. This worksheet has 9 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Diurnal Cycling Experiments
Students carry out an experiment to monitor diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and water temperature. They determine the CO2 and pH of the samples (and optionally, dissolved oxygen). Students complete their...
Curated OER
Chemistry First Marking Period Review
In this chemistry review worksheet, students review terms and concepts covered. Students practice metric conversions, factor labeling, temperature conversions, heat calculations, atomic structure, and gas laws. This worksheet has 3...
Curated OER
Weather Art in Space Settlements
Students demonstrate a cloud formation and the relation between pressure and temperature in gases. They explain how clouds could be created in space settlements and see the relation between pressure and temperature in gases.
Curated OER
(S-1A) Weather and the Atmosphere
Students discuss the way vertical convection transports heat from the surface upwards, and associated pressure and temperature profiles of the atmosphere.
Curated OER
Chemistry In Plant Nutrition And Growth
Learners investigate different factors that affect plant growth. They research the effects of water supply, radiant energy, air temperature, and soil temperature. Students also gather facts that influence plant nutrition that include the...
Curated OER
Matter
First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.
