This activity, provided by the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), uses Google Earth way points to take students on a virtual field trip through oil refineries in Alaska. The way points include descriptions, links to resources (such as articles, videos, etc.), and in-class...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a science activity designed for seventh graders. In this activity, students act as environmental engineers to develop a procedure that removes the largest amount of oil possible from the ocean in the shortest amount of time in the...

This tutorial, provided by Virginia Geospatial Extension, is part of a series of 30 videos that cover remotely sensed data in ArcMap 10.x versions. Tutorial seven is divided into four videos: A, B, C, and D. This video shows how to order data in GLOVIS. The video runs 01:08 minutes in length. The...

This lesson plan introduces students to the properties of metals using the example of a paper clip. A paper clip will fail after being bent many times, illustrating the concept of "fatigue." The fatigue properties of different materials will be compared and observed. The main goal of the lesson is...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, provides an opportunity for students to further explore multiplication though learning about the concept of distributive property. In this lesson, students will work in pairs to draw out multiplication...

This page from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources provides a number of classroom resources on topics like rocks, minerals, fossils, general geology, glaciers, earthquakes, historic geology and more. Clicking on a topic area will lead users to a webpage with resources...

Lesson Description: This lesson is the seventh of nine lessons from the Vocational Math: Contextualized for Construction course that was taught at Madison Area Technical College. During this lesson, students work in groups followed by whole-class discussion to solve percent problems involving...

This resource, from SRI International, is an on-line, standards-based, resource bank of science performance assessment tasks indexed via the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and various other standards frameworks. The resources are "collected from numerous sources, include student...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) demonstrates the concept of pH. It has an activity that allows students to evaluate the effectiveness of antacid tablets including developing a testable hypothesis. The lesson includes background information on...

This experiment will demonstrate the effects of changes in the crystal structure of metals, particularly in high carbon steels and in the shape memory alloy Nitinol. Students will learn the effects of phase changes on shape in Nitinol and crystal structure changes on metal properties. They will also...
