This field investigation involves student dropping various objects into various mediums to find answers to questions that they propose, dealing with meteors and craters.

This activity is a field investigation where the students observe shadows and reflections to learn about the sun.

Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum/Geology of National Parks module. Students study measures of central tendency in a bimodal dataset of eruption intervals.

In this investigation, students will design experiments and gather data to observe the factors that influence the activity of enzymes.

Students will test the percolation rates of 6 different soil samples. Three of the samples are measured sand and clay and three are collected from the schoolyard and wetland.

The students will use investigation and data collection to investigate the three states of matter. They will draw conclusions about the physical properties by answering questions.

What Is Water? is an introductory lesson that introduces students to the properties of water and its presents in the environment.

This activity is an internet exploration of West Nile Virus and the effects this virus has directly on bird populations. Students will also see the secondary effects on human populations and the interrelationships of the three populations.

Students will listen to the book, Under One Rock Bugs, Slugs, and Other Ughs, written by Anthony D. Frederick and illustrated by Jennifer DiRubbio and then make a mini-book observation journal, Under One Rock to record what they see when they go outdoors to investigate what lives under a rock.

This activity is a field/classroom activity where students collect soil samples, form inquiry questions, devise a sorting method, make observations of the contents, record information, share information, and draw conclusions about their findings. Students will generate other inquiry questions related to soil for future learning opportunities.

This classroom lab activity is an investigation into what happens to warm air and cold air in the atmosphere shown by the convection of colored water.

This is an activity to help students understand the abstract concept about how planets move around the sun and their relative size compared with other planets in the solar system.

This is a whole class activity in which the class will physically model how the planets move around the sun. I will have the balloons blown up, they will be labeled with the names of the planets, along with different sizes, and colors. Students will see all the planets smallest to biggest and their distance from the sun. The students will learn about vocabulary words: solar system, revolution, rotation, and orbit.

Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module. Simulating a forensic calculation, students build spreadsheets and create graphs to find the time of death of a potato victim from temperature vs. time data.

Students will learn that microorganisms can get inside one's body and they may keep it from working properly. Students will learn that vaccinations help to prevent some diseases but not others.

Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum/Geology of National Parks module. Students estimate the net volume of pollutants flowing into the Houchin's Narrows entrance of Mammoth Cave using actual air-flow and air-quality data from the park.

The lcture is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the causes and remedies of the racial achievement gap.

This activity is an inquiry based lesson focused on students making observations of birds in order to problem solve how to attract more birds to a schoolyard.

This activity is a field investigation where students investigate the water quality of a local stream or pond.

Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module/Geology of National Parks course. Students use a rating curve to determine discharge at various stage heights.
