Students study the details to watering a garden. In this water resource lesson plan, students visit several websites and watch a PowerPoint about watering a garden.

Students examine the relationship between human-made structures, flood waters and the increasing population through video clips, websites and a lab experiment.

Fifth graders animate the Water Cycle using Sketchy on the handheld computers. They write an expository paragraph about the stages of the water cycle using "Word-to-Go" on the Handheld computers.

Students study the water cycle including condensation, evaporation, and precipitation. In this water cycle instructional activity, students watch a video and access assigned web sites to investigate the water cycle. They complete an...

Students describe the movement of water within the water cycle and identify the states of water as it moves through the water cycle.

Students observe the water cycle and experiment with cleaning water. In this hands-on hydrology lesson based on a Magic School Bus book, students conduct two experiments to see the how water moves through the water cycle and then they...

Fourth graders study the water cycle and clouds. In this water cycle and cloud lesson, 4th graders determine the definition of condensation and watch a demonstration in which the teacher makes a cloud in a bottle. They discuss the water...

Students explore how fish are able to move easily from one depth to another in water.  In this fish instructional activity students create their own balloon fish. 

Students consider how long humans can live without water. They compare the weight of dried and fresh food. In addition, they trace their bodies and color portions to represent the amount of water their bodies contains.

In this groundwater learning exercise, learners simulate a pumping well and a pumping well near an injection well using plastic bottles and dirt. They use food coloring to act as a contaminate to see the movement of food color into the...

Middle schoolers explore water density and design a hydrometer to measure density. This activity is part of Ocean World's home site and excellent resources and links are provided.

Students observe the effects of pollution on living organisms. In this pollution lesson plan, students observe fresh water Hydra and look at their structures and movement. They place samples of pond and lake water on the Hydra and...

Learners explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Learners perform a cloud experiment,...

In this environment learning exercise, students read an article about water drops and the nature center. They pretend that they are going to a nature center and write what they would hope see there. Students also identify living things...

Students explore the concept of water pollution. In this environmental stewardship lesson, students discover what watersheds are and consider how to protect them.

Students identify several properties of water as a universal substance, describe the composition of several complex color mixtures and separate the components of dye using chromatographic technique.

Students participate in a hands-on activity in which they observe the effect of temperature on the rate of chemical reactions. Using Alka Seltzer tablets in different temperatures of water, they record the amount of time it takes each...

Learners learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students work in small groups to find out if foods they eat contain water.

Students create a river. In this water flow lesson, students predict how they think their river will flow and then construct a river box. Students create a landscape for the river to flow through, let the river flow and record...

Students compare and contrast the properties of salt water in the oceans/seas and freshwater elsewhere on the planet. They also analyze mixing caused by currents in the ocean, including the effects of warm and cold water as well as with...

Students conduct an experiment and complete a chart demonstrating some of the basic properties and components of water via the scientific method. They encompass strategies such as questioning, making predictions, comparing/contrasting...

Tenth graders examine the heating curve of water when head is added constantly over time. They input values into a calculator as they record water temperature every thirty seconds as it is heated on a hot plate. They complete the...

In this food chain worksheet, students review terms associated with food chains and food webs. Students also recall the water cycle.

Sixth graders review how and which plants operate in terrariums. In groups, they follow instructions to make their own terrarium and place different types of plants in it. To end the lesson, they review the steps in the water cycle and...
