The
purpose
of
this
resource
is
to
further
students'
understanding
of
the
causes
of
seasonal
change
using
visualizations
to
compare
the
effects
of
incoming
solar
energy
in
the
two
hemispheres.
The
class
reviews
global
visualizations
of
incoming
sunlight
and
surface
temperature
and
discusses
seasonal
change.
Students
use
the
visualizations
to
support
inquiry
on
the
differences
in
seasonal
change
in
...

This lesson uses a discrepant event to pique curiosity and provide an excellent metaphor for a problem in science that can be addressed in a scientific way. Water is poured into a magic box, and out comes a much larger volume of water (or other liquid). Students will learn that science is uncertain because scientists can make more than one workable model to explain their observations.

In
this
activity,
students
will
learn
to
measure
the
density
of
various
minerals.
The
activity
will
reinforce
the
usefulness
of
density
as
a
physical
test
for
identification
of
minerals.
Using
a
selection
of
mineral
specimens
of
varying
densities,
they
will
weigh
each
one
in
air,
immerse
it
in
a
graduated
cylinder
of
water,
and
measure
the
amount
of
water
displaced
by
the
specimen.
Dividing
the
weight

This
lesson
shows
students
that
age-dating
rocks
involves
counting
atoms
and
comparing
the
counts.
Students
use
simulated
rock
samples,
which
show
a
highly
magnified
selection
of
128
atoms,
each
sample
with
a
different
proportion
of
the
atoms
of
two
different
elements:
a
parent
radioisotope,
and
its
daughter
product.
By
counting
the
parent
radioactive
atoms
and
knowing
the
half-life
of
those
atoms,
...

In
this
project,
students
work
together
to
learn
about
water
supply
issues
and
possible
solutions.
Students
spend
about
six
weeks
researching
the
topic
of
water
supply,
identify
a
problem
relating
to
water
supply,
collect
and
analyze
data,
and
present
the
best
solution
to
the
problem
using
multi-media
software.
This
site
contains
all
necessary
worksheets
and
instructions,
research
links,
and

In
this
activity,
students
will
investigate
the
weathering
of
rocks
by
chemical
processes.
They
will
use
effervescent
cleansing
tablets
as
a
model
for
rock,
and
vary
surface
area,
temperature,
and
acidity
to
see
how
rapidly
the
"rock"
dissolves.
This
investigation
will
help
them
understand
three
of
the
factors
that
affect
the
rate
of
chemical
weathering
and
develop
better
understanding
of
how
to
design
