The purpose of this resource is to observe plant green-up and report data that will be used by scientists to validate satellite estimates of the beginning of the plant growing season. Students monitor budburst and growth of leaves of selected trees, shrubs, or grasses. Species chosen should be native, deciduous, and dominant in your area.

The site offers an interactive discussion of different vantage points associated with dam building. It describes some of the engineering and environmental issues that go into the process of selecting a site for building a dam and the conditions necessary for electrical generation. Links to classroom and family activities are organized by grade level.

This
site
facilitates
a
classroom
activity
in
which
students
create
a
hypothesis
on
cloud
formation
and
then
conduct
online
research
to
either
validate
or
refute
their
initial
hypothesis.
The
activity
begins
with
a
brief
laboratory
experiment
that
demonstrates
cloud
formation
and
asks
students
to
generate
a
hypothesis
on
how
clouds
form.
The
activity
then
switches
to
students
conducting
Internet
research.
