- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.11
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students learn about shore zones and shorelines. Additionally, they learn what factors influence the development of a beach and they ways in which beaches can differ.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Soil and erosion unit: Section 1
- This two week unit will involve descriptive information on North Carolina soil types and how the presence of plants affects soil erosion. Upon completion of Section 1, you may continue to Section 2.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Arts and Science)
- By Amy Robertson.
- Soil and erosion unit: Section 2
- This unit will involve descriptive information on North Carolina soil types and how the presence of plants affects soil erosion. This section should be begun only after completion of Soil and erosion unit: Section 1.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Amy Robertson.
- Storms and coastal erosion
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.5
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students learn about the effects storms can have on bodies of water, which can then have a great effect shorelines.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Stratigraphy and cross-dating
- In Intrigue of the Past, page 2.3
- Students will use an activity sheet to interpret archaeological strata using the law of superposition and apply cross-dating to determine the age of other artifacts.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science)
- StreamWatch
- This lesson is intended as a long term project to determine the overall health of a stream or wetland. Students identify seasonal changes that occur within the ecosystem, ideally with a minimum of bimonthly or monthly monitoring.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By B. Carl Rush.
- Superfund in science class
- In Bringing current science into the classroom, page 2
- Four Web-based activities let students identify Superfund sites, define hazardous waste, see how aquifers work, and explore cleanup solutions.
- Format: activity/lesson plan (grade 9–12 )
- By Michele Kloda and Dana Haine.
- 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.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Mark Clinkscales and Carrie Palmer.
- 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.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Mark Clinkscales and Carrie Palmer.
- Time
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.2
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students look at a chart of geologic time dating back to the beginning formation of the earth through modern times, noting that many geologic changes occur over millions of years. They also look at photographs of recent geologic change to learn that some geologic changes occur in a human time frame, as well.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 Science and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Time - Light and shadow (pre-visit)
- Students examine the interplay of the earth and the sun by studying shadows. Students construct a sun clock and record shadows several times during a school day in order to use the earth and the sun to measure time.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics and Science)
- By Denise Young.
- Tree-ring dating
- In Intrigue of the Past, page 2.5
- In their study of dendrochronology, students use activity sheets and a discussion to apply principles of dendrochronology to determine a tree's age and to recognize climatic variation. They will also analyze and experience how archaeologists can sometimes use tree rings to date archaeological evidence and study past climates.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Science)
- Trees of North Carolina
- Students complete activities including tree and leaf identification, species comparison, online research, measurement, and creative writing in conjunction with monthly visits to the "Iredell County Outdoor Education Site"
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3–4 English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science)
- By Amy Luna and Kathy Beck.
- Using coastal evidence to make management decisions
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 2.2
- This lesson is part of chapter two of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students act as if they are residents of the area affected by the opening of Isabel Inlet. Depending on which group they are in, they argue for or against the closure of the inlet in a class debate.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Using K-W-L to confirm what you know
- Students will learn to use a K-W-L to activate their prior knowledge and help them set a purpose for reading and recording what they learned. They will also extend their K-W-L chart to confirm the accuracy of their prior knowledge and of what they learn.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts and Science)
- By Kathleen Neff.
- Water cycle word study
- Students will look at the written similarities in the words used to describe the water cycle (ex., evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, accumulation, condensation), focusing on suffixes and prefixes as a way to gain understanding of those terms. Students will group words by meaning and label a blank water cycle chart based on the categories for the groupings they create. This lesson is designed in conjunction with “More than just a rainy day—the water cycle.”
