When Floating Ice Melts in the Sea
With this simple inquiry exercise young scientists observe the effects of melting ice on water level. Set up an easy experiment with floating ice cubes in a dish of water then have your pupils make and record their observations of the...

COASTAL EROSION
Young scholars study the coastal erosion or the deposition by waves and sea level rise at a particular area.
Curated OER
Weather, Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Course
Young scholars explain the impact of glacial melting to global climate change. In this environmental science lesson plan, students design an experiment to investigate the effect of salinity change to melting glaciers. They share their...
Curated OER
Thermal Expansion and Sea Level Rise
Students conduct an experiment. In this water and sea level lesson, students conduct an experiment to see what happens to water levels when they are exposed to heat and discuss the effects of global warming on sea level.
Curated OER
What Happens When Sea Level Rises or Falls
Students examine the impact of sea level on land formations. In this geography and map lesson, students construct a contour map model illustrating how much of the clay "coastline" is covered as water is added. Metric measurement is...

Creating a Topographic Map
In this topographic map learning exercise, students add contour lines to a topographic map using instructions provided. Once topographic map is finished, students complete 2 follow-up short answer questions.

Professor of Ice
In this environment experiment worksheet, students complete 3 experiments using ice. First they label each experiment and respond to the four questions given. Then students do the 3 experiments as stated, considering what the experiments...

Global Warming: Life in a Greenhouse
Students examine the evidence that scientists have used to support the existence of global warming and the greenhouse effect. How the concepts have been developed and evaluated form the focus of this lesson.

On the Rise . . . Sea Level and Global Warming
Ninth graders conduct an experiment to determine how melting sea ice affect sea level. In this earth science activity, 9th graders explain the environmental consequences of rising sea level. They relate this activity to global warming.
Curated OER
Angles of Elevation and Depression
In this angles of elevation and depression instructional activity, 10th graders solve 6 word problems that include finding angles of elevation and depression. They solve each problem, rounding the measures of segments to the nearest...
Curated OER
AIR PRESSURE
Sixth graders identify air pressure and how it affects objects. They experiment with one hard boiled egg in a bottle and the affects of air pressure on the egg.
