Students explore notions of relationships between two variables. They use discussion, games, worksheets, spreadsheets to consider relationships such as: height vs. shoe size, cricket chirping vs. temperature.

Students follow the appropriate sampling protocol and take two measurements of a local water source. These measurements are Transparency and Temperature. This info about local land use and/or water chemistry issues may require further...

Ninth graders research local geography to create successful, ecological school landscaping. They determine soil type, average weather patterns and temperature graphs and use the information to select ideal plants and plant maintenance...

Pupils observe the migration of monarch butterflies. They collect data regarding the number of monarchs they see, the location, the butterflies' behavior, the temperature and the date and time. Then they send their data to a university...

students investigate light levels under the ocean by conducting several simulations. After creating solutions representing seawater, they shine a light sensor on it to discover how light diffuses and is absorbed by the impurities in the...

Students simulate methods used to extend the effective life of an oil well by extracting less available oil. They identify techniques which can be used and evaluate their effectiveness. Pupils are introduced to rock size and temperature...

Students, working in groups, research planets in terms of the size, temperature, number of moons, and potential for life. They use packets and worksheets as guides for their research. Students may role-play as aliens visiting their...

Second graders discuss how their weather changes by examining temperatures, clothing needs, and plant life. They talk about the identifying factors of the seasons and complete a Venn Diagram about weather in a guided instructional...

Young scholars participate in an experiment in which the substances are sealed in a plastic bag. Watching the experiment, they determine why the chemical reaction is taking place and calculate the temperature change. To end the lesson...

In this heat transfer worksheet, students calculate the final temperature of specific reactions. This worksheet has 6 problems to solve.

In this decision making worksheet, students complete 5 problems in which clues to the daily weather are read and appropriate clothing is chosen. Temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit.

In this environment worksheet, students pretend they are Mother Nature as they answer 4 questions. They explain whether their temperature gets hotter with a fever, why the Ozone layer is leaving them, how big Mother Nature is compared to...

Students complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study instructional activity, students design and test a soda insulator. Students graph their class data and discuss the...

Students observe a demonstration on the role of thermal conductivity in heat transfer.  In this thermal conductivity lesson, students design and conduct an experiment to compare the thermal conductivity of four substances....

Eighth graders use lab work and software to collect and analyze pressure and temperature data in order to illustrate the relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas at a constant volume. They conduct a lab and organize...

Students find out the temperature difference between the Gulf Stream and the surrounding water. They locate the Gulf Stream on the infrared image of the eastern seaboard of the US.

Pupils examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Students examine and discuss urban geography and land-cover types along the Wasatch Front. They analyze thermal images, create collages, and predict surface and air temperatures from aerial photos in the Salt Lake City Valley.

Young scholars complete a lab that introduce the scientific concept of climate on Earth. Following the lab, they complete further research on climate. Using average monthly temperatures students construct a mathematical model and analyze...

Students identify the three main types of urban environments by learning characteristic land-cover types. They examine and analyze a thermal image of Salt Lake City. Then they predict surface and air temperatures from aerial photos.

Fourth graders measure wind speed, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction. They compare their observations with those of actual weather forecasts.

Third graders examine the main parts of a bar graph and how to round up to the nearest tenth. They make an example of a bar graph and answer questions based on the graph using a list of state capitals and their average temperatures....

Fifth graders study six major biomes, graph temperature and rainfall, and present their findings to the class.

Students perform tests to determine the level of oxygen dissolved in water. After examining a table displaying the temperature and solubility of water, they examine the three stages involved in the test. Upon completion, students explain...
