In this Earth Science lab, students will create their own homemade barometers using a canning jar, a balloon, and a straw. The barometers can show low and high-pressure systems. After they build their barometers, students will complete a daily log, by measuring the height differences of their barometers. They will determine rising and falling barometers. Students will also observe the weather that is currently outside. When their observations are complete, they will answer questions as to ho

In this Earth Science activity, students will gain a deeper understanding of the following Vocabulary: seismologist, seismograph, seismogram, epicenter, P-Wave, S-Wave, Wave Amplitude, Magnitude, and Richter/Moment Scale. Students will create a digital spreadsheet that will help them calculate data they gathered by looking at actual seismograms. Technology is incorporated throughout the lesson. Students will determine the P and S wave arrival times and use that information to triangulate the

Help your students identify the author’s point of view with this 3 worksheet set! Aligned with standard 3.RI.6, this resource includes three, student-friendly articles that explore topics kids can relate to: homework, cursive, and recess. Each article presents a clear author’s point of view, making it easy for young learners to identify and analyze the writer’s perspective. It is also a Google Doc so that you can modify the content as you see fit. The articles are written in a five-paragraph ess

In this lab I have students observe what happens to water, which represents air, warms up and what happens to water as it cools down. Using a hot plate, a large glass cake pan, a bag of ice and food coloring can easily demonstrate how wind is formed. The demonstration can also be used in topics of high/low pressure, warm and cold fronts, mantle convection if you would like. The assignment, however, is for high and low pressure systems and wind. To see what the experiment looks like you can wa

Enhance your students' reading comprehension and critical thinking skills with this engaging worksheet bundle featuring three captivating texts: "Frogs vs Toads," "Sharks vs Dolphins," and "Lions vs Tigers."
