Water Rocket Lab Instructions and Questions

If you are a science teacher and don't have a water rocket lab, you should begin.  This experiment is the highlight of our year.  This is a doc for a higher-end physics class and contains math calculations.  Students have restrictions as to rocket design.  We launch twice.  On the first day, we build, launch, and calculate distances.  The next day we do the say, but his time they should be making repairs to see if they can get it to fly further.

Classroom Line Plots

Students will measure common objects to the nearest inch and then input them in a table.  Or you can just use the table with common objects.  Once they have the data, they will use a number line divided into quarters and create a line plot.  When finished they will answer some questions based on the line plot.  Answer key is provided.

Famous Volcanoes

In this web research activity, students will research 14 volcanoes via the internet. All of these volcanoes are famous for either their size of eruption or the continuous eruptions that they have. They are famous for causing large tsunamis, huge pyroclastic flows, and lahars, as well as some that might not be so dangerous but have flowed continuously for many years. Students will enhance their geography knowledge by plotting the volcano's location on a plate tectonic map. They will find out when the last eruption occurred.

The Structure of Earth Video

In this informative Earth Science video, viewers will learn about the layers of the Earth and how scientists have come to know about them. From the formation of the solar system to the elements that make up the Earth, this video covers a range of scientific concepts such as the atmosphere, convection currents, earthquakes, and density. By the end of the video, viewers will have a greater understanding of the different layers of the Earth and how they work together to create our planet.

Why is it warmer the further underground you go?

In this video, viewers will learn about how Lord Kelvin attempted to determine the age of the Earth, as well as why the Earth becomes warmer as you go deeper into it. The video also covers various topics related to the Earth's structure, such as the layers of the Earth, convection currents, volcanoes, and plate tectonics. Whether you're a student studying geology or someone simply curious about the planet we call home, this video will provide a fascinating insight into the workings of the Earth.
