In this mixed math practice worksheet, 1st graders complete 8 problems. They continue patterns, work with simple fractions, complete a number sentences, complete patterns, and color in thermometers to show the given temperatures.

In this weather data worksheet, students use this worksheet to record data about temperature, wind speed, and more. Students complete 18 spaces on the chart.

Students have trout in their classroom and complete journaling, checklists, temperature checking, and ammonia level recording. In this trout lesson plan, take weekly observation records of their trout.

Students determine how much moisture in the air affects the diurnal temperature range. They investigate to determine the different climatological regimes of both the Southern Plains and the world. and greenhouse gases effect the earth's...

Students collect live buoy data about water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico from the Internet and work individually to organize their data and create a line graph using Excel Spreadsheet. Students analyze their data and examine any...

Students examine how temperature effects changes in materials. In this physical science lesson, students use food coloring and cups of water of varying temperatures to observe the effects temperature has on matter. Students predict and...

Students discover the history of hot air balloons by watching one ascent.  In this physics lesson, students utilize a Montgolfier Hot Air Balloon from an earlier lesson and record the temperature, rate of ascent and the volume....

Students analyze monthly sea surface temperature data from the Pacific Ocean to determine if the period is an El Nino or a normal year. They recognize signs to see if there are any patterns that signal either occurrence. Satellite images...

In this solar system worksheet, students complete a database comparing the 9 different planets' mass, surface temperature, rotation period, orbital period, moons, and distinguishing features. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Students identify the elements that make up the earth's weather. Begin by having students pretend they are hiking along a mountain ridge. It's been sunny and warm all day, but you see a dark line of clouds moving from the west.

The instructions for demonstrating ocean turnover are provided in this resource. You could set this up for your earth science class as part of a lecture on convection currents or as an explanation of how ocean currents form. An animation...

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Students illustrate the changes in the properties of a material at its glass transition point. They gather data which they use to construct graphs regarding elastic modules versus absorption modulus, tangent delta, and the effect of...

During a unit on density, pupils ponder whether or not temperature affects this property. By carefully inserting blue cold water and yellow hot water into a room-temperature sample, they will see the answer. Make sure to have done the...

Here's a five-star lesson plan in which inquisitors conduct sophisticated experimentation with cellular respiration in plant seeds. Placing seeds in a closed system they measure the amount carbon dioxide produced and relate it to...

Secondary learners investigate exponential functions in a real-world scenario. They collect data on the temperature of a cooling baked potato, enter the data into lists, and graph the data using a scatter plot before finding an...

Students explain that molecules are in everything living and nonliving. They explain that molecules are too small to see but we can watch their movement.

In this gases worksheet, learners use the concepts of Graham's Law of diffusion to determine the velocity of gases and molecules. They describe kinetic energy and how it relates to the mass and velocity of objects.

In this climate worksheet, students will compare the climates of tropical and polar regions. Then students will determine what factors scientists use to determine the climate of a region. This worksheet has 6 short answer questions.

In this weather worksheet students use a weather map to answer given questions. Students answer questions using map symbols and make predictions based on map. Students create additional questions with answers using the same map.

In this climographs worksheet, students use two given climographs to compare the climate of West Palm Beach and Katmandu. They answer questions about the climographs and about the similarities and differences between the two climates.

Students examine solubility and the significance of water.  In this aqueous solution lesson plan students complete a lab activity on soil profiles.

Eighth graders collect weather data from a variety of cities at the same latitudes, but on different continents. They organize data using spreadsheet program, generate graphs, and incorporate into a word processing document. Students...
