Students investigate water usage for the average home with the help of conducting a home survey. The information is collected and organized into a graphic format. Then they analyze the results to formulate an educated opinion about water...

Students discover the amount of water used for everyday activities around their home in this lesson. They research the amount of water needed by accessing a provided internet link. They then graph the information they discovered and...

Students examine the major concepts related to the water cycle in this lesson plan. They recognize and define evaporation, condensation, precipitation and the natural cycles that occur as weather. They also participate in an activity...

Ninth graders discover the importance of maintaining an unpolluted source of water for the city. They brainstorm ideas they can take to make their communitie's water better. They can also write letters to their local politicians for help.

Students use common materials to construct a working model of the water cycle. They then observe and explain evaporation, condensation, precipitation and percolation as aspects of a continuing cycle. Students also complete worksheets and...

Students investigate the properties of water. In this states of water lesson, students explore how water goes from liquid to solid and back to liquid again. Students use measurement, observation, and communication to describe the change.

Students, through a case study of actual water sources in Washington State, identify major sources of aquatic pollution. They also categorize pollutants, make inferences about the effects of pollutants on the environment and construct...

Students hypothesize what happened to the missing water. In this chemistry lesson, students test their hypothesis by designing an experiment. They record observations and report findings to class.

Students conduct an experiment. For this plants lesson, students conduct an experiment in order to understand how liquid passes through a plant. They use balloons suspended from the classroom ceiling.

Young scholars investigate a scientific phenomena. In this scientific investigation lesson plan, students hypothesize why water rises around a lit candle sitting in a pie tin of water as it is covered. They reflect on questions raised...
