Lwaves

Use this lab to build a connecting terrarium and aquarium with your students using pop bottles. This reinforces measurement, metrics, ecology, abiotic and biotic factors, water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles, and more! Students will love to watch their biospheres throughout the year as they learn what is required to sustain life.

Students watch "Flush to Finish" to learn what happens to water as soon as it goes down the drain or toilet and is normally forgotten about. This video shows the importance of water conservation, appreciation for water as a resource, and how to keep the water cycle clean.

Assessment of the geologic time scale, fossils, relative and absolute age, etc.

This presentation allows students to review earthquakes, seismic waves, and faults.

I made a new rock cycle test for my students that I think matches my learning targets better. This assesses the rock cycle and many characteristics of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

Students experiment to determine which substance heats up and cools down quicker; sand/soil or water. This is a great way to introduce atmospheric and oceanic currents as well as land and sea breezes.

Students will review how humans have determined the age of earth through fossils, geologic events, relative dating, radioactive dating, and the exploration of outer space by creating a children's book.

This power point is great for Smart boards etc. Its slides are linked to the first one so that students can take turns matching vocabulary terms to their definitions. Just like in the game "Memory", students must remember what they have seen so they can make each correct match.

Information about igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks-includes intrusive vs. extrusive, characteristics, and examples of each rock type.

Students test multiple soil samples to determine pore space, porosity, and permeability of each. This can then be used when teaching water filtration.

This presentation offers students multiple ideas of what they could make to review earth's interior, earthquakes, and/or volcanoes. Students may create something with their family and present it to the class to re-teach us about one of the past three chapters.

This memory game allows students to interact with the Smartboard to review 16 vocabulary terms that relate to earth's interior.

This is an interactive Jeopardy game meant to review the hydrological cycle and water filtration systems.

This power point reviews 16 earthquake terms using a memory game. Students can interact with the terms and definitions right on your Smartboard!

Includes Flow Chart of Formation

Use this PDF/Presentation to encourage students to research about various fossils. Answers to each question are included at the end.
