First graders create a KWL chart about the four seasons. In this four seasons lesson plan, 1st graders continue the chart by watching videos and drawings.

Ninth graders take soil samples and perform tests on these samples.

Students pick up science knowledge as they track and examine natural disasters. They keep a daily journal of results and reflections. Students get to follow a real tornado chaser and learn thunderstorm formation. They incorporate how...

Tenth graders compare the relationship of food production and population in India with the southern regions of the United States.

Students compile information about rainfall, lake elevations and releases of water from Tuttle Creek reservoir into maps, graphs and charts.

Students arrange themselves into small groups. Each group chooses a distance to measure ( the distance between the slide and the swings, for instance). Person #1 walks the distance, counting the number of his or her steps. Persons 2...

Students examine water quality on a nearby stream. They collect water samples and test for various factors, including any contamination from the treatment plant, and present their information in a Powerpoint presentation.

Students explore how to access a gopher site using a root menu. Several options are presented with their definitions and the fastest routes examined in this activity. The activity is designed for librarians with little or no net experience.

Pupils observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.
