This is one of Four lab/worksheets on understanding why some dates are equinoxessolstices. Students will copy apparent paths of the Sun from a diagram and draw and label the paths onto an 'Hours Of Daylight' graph. The apparent paths are specifically drawn for New York State. The worksheet is in pdf-format. A Student Instruction Sheet is included. I also uploaded a instructional video. Teachers should practice on their own copy first.

Good Luck and I do hope this helps!

Here is a short Quiz accessing students about; - latitude and longitude w/compass directions - time zone change - telling/writing time using the hands of a clock - location of the International Date Line. the quiz is 17 questions long with question values shown. The answer key has the break down of question values that I follow. My Latitude Longitude Exam is a scaled up version of this quiz with more questions on the above topics. My TpT posted worksheet assignments lead up to this quiz and E

This is an Exam to assess students on: - Latitude and Longitude - Use of Time Zones - Use of the International Date Line. My TpT posted worksheets and quiz lead up to this Exam. I give this to my students as a Take Home Exam where they must return the answer sheet to me in the first 3-minutes of class, but I'm sure many students could finish this in 60 minute block of time.

This is a fold and paste assignment for Students studying New York State (NYS) Regents Earth Science or any student studying geology and Relative Dating. -Students will become very familiar with The NYS Earth Science Reference Tables. [http://www.p12.nysed.gov/assessment/reftable/earthscience-rt/esrt2011-engr.pdf] -Students will have the opportunity to search for answers inside the Reference Tables or by other means. -Students will, (when the assignment is completed) have a take-home product or

With this product students will: - understand why we say the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. -understand why we have different lengths of daytime throughout the year. -calculate a speed at which the Earth rotates. (thus, The Sun appears to move). - draw the Earth in relation to the Sun for Summer and Winter solstices. -show a fuller understanding of the Earth's rotation and the effect it has on the progression of daytime vs night time.

Students will: - find the definition of Relative Humidity and Dew Point, -determine Relative Humidity and Dew Point temperatures using printed data tables.

Students will copy apparent paths of the Sun from a diagram and draw and label the paths onto an 'Hours Of Daylight' graph. The apparent paths are specifically drawn for New York State. The worksheet is in PDF format. A Student Instruction Sheet is included. Teachers should practice on their own copy first.

Here is another half-sheet of practice density, mass and volume problems. The back page has a more intuitive challenge of arranging density values and providing a reason for their answer. I have also included another example of how the property of density (ratio of Mass to Volume) remains consistent with reduced mass and volume values. Note: the Density only changes due to rounding values.

Students will test their understanding of the Density formula be solving for all 3. Students will then test their understanding of what happens to density when and object is cut in half. (See back)

This was made with the New York State Earth Science Exam in mind. Included are: 1. 5-practice examples of students determining Mineral Compositions for Igneous Rocks 2. follow up questions 3. an answer key 4. demonstration video 5. practice sheet used in the demonstration video. The assignment is only 4-single sided pages long you do not need to print out all of the pages.

I designed this lesson as an introduction to Minerals and Rocks and for Students to Teach Each Other. Students will: -learn how minerals and rocks are classified. -learn the definition of 'what it is to be a mineral' -how the 3-different rock classifications are formed -state the relationship between minerals and rocks. what's more... I have instructions for students to purposely move around the room using different colored popsicle sticks. [instructions are included] ***** I recommend you

This is one of Four lab/worksheets on understanding why some dates are equinoxessolstices.Students will copy apparent paths of the Sun from a diagram and draw and label the paths onto an 'Hours Of Daylight' graph. The apparent paths are specifically drawn for New York State. A Student Instruction Sheet is included. Teachers should practice on their own copy first.

Students will: -Identify Independent and Dependent Variables on Graphs -Write direct relationships between each of the variables -Label and draw a Line Graph based on a given interpretation -Introduction to the Mathematical concept of Pi.

This worksheet has students; -Identify methods in which rocks are metamorphosed, -write a direct relationship between metamorphism and distance to metamorphic source -identify contact metamorphism and symbols -use a complex table to identify metamorphic characteristics and connect sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock equivalents. (full disclosure--- the complex table is a variation of the New York State Earth Science Regents Reference Table page 7)

This is the Lab/activity of the upcoming March 20th 2023 Equinox.

This exercise contains 36 questions students must answer using a World Map and a textbook. My students used a 1997 desk sized Rand Mcnally laminated world map. This world map has numbered Latitudes separated by 15-degrees and Longitudes separated by 30-degrees. The laminated map is also a Robinson Projection. Their textbook describes the differences/limitations of Robinson and Mercator maps. I prefered my students to work in groups to answer these questions and then I collected one-Lab from eac

This is a hands on assignment for students to discover a simple engineering solution. Students will discover how simply manipulating the shape of paper makes it stronger. I have three different figures for students to choose from, (Gully, Chasm or Canyon). For this assignment students will only need the worksheet, scissors and pennies, (weights). I recommend having the bridge roadway and abutments pre-cut. I am including a link to a video I used to get the students motivated. I have also incl

I've updated some of the Figures and reworded a question and direction. This is an activity for students to visualize the, 'Shortest Day of The Year' phrase. I have used Brooklyn, New York as the Latitude on which to base the hours of daylight. I recommend doing this once by yourself to help explain the technique of transfering the hour spaces to a strip of paper to your students. Or, just keep replaying the video! Be Well Always!
