Water 1: Water and Ice
Students examine the changes as water goes from solid to liquid. In this states of matter activity, students observe and record the changes to water as it changes from solid to liquid and back to solid.
Curated OER
Water Wonders
Students experiment with the cohesion of water molecules. In this surface tension lesson, students estimate how many drops of water a full glass can take before overflowing. They watch a video that explains water molecules.
Curated OER
The Affect of Water Temperature on Living Organisms
High schoolers examine the environmental impact of global warming. In this environmental science lesson, students design and conduct an experiment about the effect of temperature on paramecia. They write a lab report about their experiment.
Curated OER
The Sun as the Driving Force of the Water Cycle
Students study the water cycle and how the sun is an important factor. In this water cycle lesson students investigate how to desalinate water and explore the different densities of fresh versus saltwater.
Curated OER
Cleaning Water: How Filters Work
Students construct their own water filter to obtain clean water. In this filtration lesson, students produce tainted water in order to properly filter it with filtration devices made in class.
Curated OER
How Trees Contribute to the Water Cycle
In this water cycle instructional activity, 3rd graders conduct an experiment where they observe and calculate how water transpires in different types of trees. Students engage in a class discussion and use Venn Diagrams to compare...
Curated OER
The Other Water Cycle
Students examine human impacts on the water cycle. They compare/contrast the permeability of various materials for the purpose of engineering landscape drainage systems, and answer discussion questions.
