In this oral review worksheet, students work with a partner to change sentences. They change sets of sentences to include "in spite of" or "despite." They say the sentences orally while their partner checks them.

Students research climate change. In this environmental lesson, students view a PowerPoint slideshow about climate change and identify the ways that climate change affects life on Earth.

Young scholars explore ways to protect the earth.  In this environmental issues and technology lesson, students investigate the water quality in their community and compare their findings to the water quality in other geographic...

Learners identify the African Plains and the plants and animals that are found on the plain, which are of a benefit to humans. They listen to the story and actively participate in a choral reading of Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain.

Students explain the concepts and vocabulary of Earth's rotation. They plan imaginary vacations based on the seasons in different locations. This is a very creative lesson plan, which students enjoy.

Students find city temperatures and analyze their means to find the standard deviation. They calculate the standard deviation of monthly temperature means.

Students are introduced to the different climates and vegetation of Africa, and compare them to similar climatic regions found in the United States.

Learners study various types of erosion. The purpose of these activities is to increase students awareness to the point where they can make intelligent decisions on proper land use.

Fourth graders participate in a Rock Cycle game to gain an understanding of the cycles that form metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks.

Learners discuss how the horizontal transport of heat from equatorial regions polewards drives global wind systems.

Learners type Haiku poetry using AppleWorks, including special holidays or events and famous Americans for the month about which they choose to write.

Students explore the sun and take a "trip" to outer space.

First graders demonstrate the difference between goods and services.

Fifth graders compare and contrast different sets of data on the basis of measures of central tendency.

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 use the artwork by Robert Harris to examine the four seasons. In groups, they identify the clothing worn in the artwork and create a dance which resembles the painting. They also practice reading a thermometer and identify...

High schoolers use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic...

Students monitor the pH level of the precipitation in their local area for one month. In this hands-on activity, students use lab equipment to measure the pH levels and an online tool to track their findings. Ultimately, students seek to...

Students discover soil characteristics and how it is formed on Earth and the Moon by examining local samples to a lunar simulant. They replicate the effects of wind erosion by scraping dry bread with sandpaper. Students use rocks and...

Students visit a local creek or stream. They collect water samples from the creek and observe and sort the "water critters" they find in the sample, observing smaller organisms under a microscope if necessary. They identify each organism...

Students analyze meteorological data and arrive at conclusions using animations of dewpoint temperatures and winds. They view an animation and determine the preferred location(s), if any, for the advection of moisture into the state....
