Young scholars explore the states of water. In this water states lesson, students observe ice over time and the changes that take place. Young scholars read a related text and draw their observations in a journal entry. Students discuss...

Students study the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students examine how the water cycle works, what its functions are, and how to diagram it.

Students answer short answer questions about the water cycle and other cycles. In this water cycle lesson plan, students explore clouds, rain, evaporation, and more.

First graders participate in a simulation in which they discover the community has been using too much water. In groups, they research the various ways the water is being used and create a home survey. They show the water usage of the...

In this water worksheet, students complete a five question multiple choice online interactive quiz about water. This is a more advanced quiz that includes chemistry questions.

Learners examine water, its function and how much you should consume.  In this water lesson students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body. 

Learners research the availability, usage and demand for water in the local area historically and use projections of the availability, usage and demand for water up to the year 2050. They gather data and present the information in...

Students examine the effects of nitrates and phosphates on the dissolved oxygen levels in different water sources. In this series of 3 lessons, they consider the reasons for nitrate and phosphate level increases and their effects on...

Students elicit data on the water cycle, ocean topography, and island formation in this six lesson unit. The ocean floor and the properties of water are examined through a variety of discussions and hands-on experiments.

In this science worksheet, students examine 16 detailed pictures of desert birds found near water. Students identify each bird. There is no room to write the name under the picture, and it is assumed this is an oral activity. Answers are...

Pupils explore water and ice. In this 3 states of matter lesson, students work with a partner to observe, illustrate, and describe the characteristics of an ice cube in a cup. The ice cube is observed again in 15 minutes and changes...

How is it possible for ocean water to have layers? The sixth installment of a 23-part NOAA Enrichment in Marine sciences and Oceanography (NEMO) program investigates factors that cause different water densities to occur. Experiments...

Anyone that lives around snow knows that adding salts to water increases its melting point. Are there solutes that affect the boiling point as well? A scientific experiment has learners add different solutes to water and then...

A video and laboratory investigation are highlights to this lesson on acidification of ocean water due to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. Using bromothymol blue (BTB) as an indicator, pupils analyze the amount of carbon dioxide...

Eighth graders examine the usefulness of a line of best fit by collecting and graphing data, using a graphing calculator to determine the line of best fit, and making a variety of predictions. They watch a video, then design a...

Explain the properties of water. Identify the properties of water that make it a polar molecule Describe hydrogen bonds and how they differ from covalent bonds Discuss the differences between hard water and soft water Compare the heat of...

In this water worksheet, students are given the percent of distribution of water on earth. With the total amount of water equal to 1,000ml students determine the number of ml for each type of water on earth and color a beaker with the...

Through the use of digital cameras, this lesson shows students how to document how water is used in their local communities and explore how those uses impact the local environment.

Learners test their local aquatic site to determine its water clarity. They collect a water sample and measure its turbidity using a sensor, then they repeat the experiment to obtain a second turbidity reading to find the average value.

Students explore the concept of paleoclimatological proxies.  In this paleoclimatological proxies instructional activity, students explain isotope ratios in deep water coral samples.  Students write a paragraph about global...
