Records 1–7 of 7 displayed
- Formation of a stream valley
- This is a class of 12 Learning Disabled students taking Earth Science. It is a sophomore class. There are two attention deficit students. They all are good readers but have trouble with comprehension of science vocabulary.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Geol 130.
- History of astronomy scavenger hunt
- A unit on astronomy inevitably and rightfully begins with a look at the history of astronomy. This activity provides students with an opportunity to learn the basic facts of the history of astronomy by using the internet.

- The problem with parallax
- Students will increase their understanding of astronomical measurements by using parallax to measure distances on their school campus. They will also gain an appreciation of the difficulties with such measurements by statistically analyzing the class' results.

- Rock around the rock cycle
- Students will study the rock cycle to understand the relationship between the three types of rocks, sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous, and the conditions needed to transform one type of rock into another. This hopefully will be accomplished through visual learning with computer activities and the demonstration and through auditory learning with the discussion. The student can then apply the knowledge they learned through a story.

- Round and Round It Goes; Water, Where It Stops Nobody Knows
- The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun, which identifies the constant, endless movement of water from the atmosphere to the earth to the ground water, to the rivers to the oceans and back into the atmosphere. This experimental lab lesson will show the process of the hydrologic cycle as it relates to the earth's atmosphere by showing three different scenarios,the first scenario (the control), container A, shows the hydrologic cycle with no contaminates. The second scenario, container B, shows the hydrologic cycle with the earth's soil contaminated. The third scenario, container C, demonstrates the hydologic cycle with the air polluted. These three situations will give the student an idea of how the atmosphere and the growth of plant life are affected by different contaminants in the earth.This lesson will, in fact, investigate the hydrologic cycle experimentally.

- Technology and stress on the environment
- Students will build a bubble-powered rocket and “blast it off.” Students will examine the stress to their immediate environment, alternative choices, and the cost of repairing the damage. They will list other types of technology and possible environmental stress.

- The three “R's” of conservation
- The conservation of our resources is in the hands of every individual. Students need to learn the effect of recycling, reusing, and reducing has on our environment and what they can do.
