Students predict where a ball will land when released using knowledge of projectile motion and potential and kinetic energy.

Students will "experience" the rock cycle and develop estimates of the time required to advance from one stage to the next.

This supplemental resource provides the information to create the dice to be used in "Rock Cycle Activity." In this activity, students will "experience" the rock cycle and develop estimates of the time required to advance from one stage to the next.

Students will construct an ocean bottom profile of the Atlantic Ocean. Using the profile, they will identify features of the ocean bottom in regions of diverging plate boundaries.

In this activity, students graph the changes in sea level over the last 150 thousand years.

The main objective of this lab is to demonstrate the generation of seismic waves and allow students to develop an understanding of how they are related to finding out what the inner layers of the Earth are composed of. Also this activity allows students to interpret seismogram readings and what they mean.

Students will determine the relative reactivity of three metals: copper, magnesium, and zinc by using the activity series of metals.

Students will understand how to read and create station models used in meteorology.

Students rotate through a variety of stations in order to demonstrate understanding of the properties of acids, bases, and solutions.

Students explain the apparent motion of the sun through the sky on an average day and how this relates to seasonal differences in length of daylight.

Sudents conduct a simple investigation to reinforce the processes of evaporational cooling and condensational warming.

Students complete a titration of vinegar with NaOH using phenothalein as an indicator.

Students play the role of enzymes, with toothpicks as the substrates. This activity demonstrates how the rate of reaction is dependent in the concentration of enzymes.

Students will investigate, describe, and map the flow direction of streams and rivers in the United States and around the world.

Students will determine how weather variables can be used to predict the weather.

Students plot locations of fossil findings (given latitude and longitude) and then hypothesize how fossils could be found on continents that are now separated by ocean.

Students work collaboratively to design, test and perform an experiment that attempts to hit the teacher at a known distance with a water balloon.
