- Observing the water cycle
- Initially, students will observe a demonstration of the water cycle and apply the information gained through the demonstration. Then students will measure and graph rainfall for two weeks.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2 and 5 Mathematics and Science)
- By Priscilla Nutt.
- Blast off the wet way
- This lesson takes 6–10 days and includes math classes in which students will serve as observers and will calculate the height that the rocket reached and time elapsed. In the science class the students will design, build, launch, and do a detailed analysis of the acceleration, speed, and force produced by water-filled two-liter rockets.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Science)
- By Jack Curtis.
- Amazing liquid conductor
- Students will mix a variety of liquid solutions together to see if they will light a light bulb in a electrical circuit. They will be able to identify liquid electrical conductors and nonconductors. Also they will be able to identify that liquid solutions that contain a noticeable amount of acid or salt are good conductors of electricity. Each group of students will make a closed circuit to test their solutions.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Science)
- By Martha Martin.
- Summer safety!
- The children will learn to identify unsafe situations and name hazardous activities they may encounter or see during the warm months between May and September.
- Format: lesson plan (grade K Healthful Living)
- 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.

- In this lesson plan, students learn about careers that are involved in maintaining water quality.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science)
- By Tammy Johnson and Martha Tedrow.
- Does it float? Exploring density
- Density is a property of matter that requires abstract understanding from your students. This lesson plan is a hands-on lab for exploring the concepts of mass, volume, density, and their relationship. This lab achieves several 8th grade science objectives and incorporates mathematical objectives as well. The lab can easily be used as an introductory lab for the year, thus covering not only the content objectives, but also procedures for completing labs throughout the course of the year.

- By Trish Loudermilt.
- Winter advisory: The effect of salt on the freezing point of water
- In CareerStart lessons: Grade eight, page 5.9
- In this lesson, students complete a lab to help them understand the effect of salt on the freezing point of water. Students discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using salt as a de-icing and anti-icing agent on roads.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science)
- By Tammy Johnson and Martha Tedrow.
- Earthquakes: Causes and effects
- This is a lesson plan designed to stimulate student interest in the forces of nature. The lessons culminate in a hands-on learning experience about earthquakes.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Science)
- By Tom Weakland.
- Electroplating: When is a penny worth less than one cent?
- In CareerStart lessons: Grade eight, page 5.8
- In this lesson, students understand the chemical differences between pennies made before and after 1982, and gain an understanding of the process of electroplating.

- 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.

- Jack-o-Light
- We use pumpkins to demonstrate that fire needs air to burn. This goes really well with Fire Safety Week and our pumpkin unit. Also, we 'guesstimate' how many pumpkin seeds are in the pumpkin. We roast them afterwards by following a recipe. You can also create a Kids Pix picture of pumpkins.
