The TeachEngineering page for "Forecasting the Weather" offers a hands-on activity that guides students in understanding how meteorologists predict the weather. Through this activity, students learn to observe atmospheric conditions, record data, and use simple forecasting techniques to make weather predictions. Designed for elementary to middle school students, the activity encourages critical thinking and problem-solving by simulating real-world weather forecasting methods. This resource is ideal for science teachers looking to reinforce concepts in meteorology with interactive, practical learning that connects to students' everyday experiences with weather. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.

This site from the Museum of Natural History is a rich resource for images of dinosaurs. You can select by body type, country, geologic time period, and other idicies. Apart from the images, which are watermarked, there is only basic information on the size and environment of each creature on the landing page, however, scroll WAY down to the bottom of the page for a site menu. Look for Discover, and under that Dinosaurs. On this page you will find a WEALTH of information from an Introduction to Dinosaurs to Dinosaur behavior, abilities, lifestyles, to Dinosaur Digs, and even Dinosaur Crafts and Activities. While not intended for elementary students, the navigation is simple enough for these students to use effectively in finding images.

tag(s): dinosaurs (47), reptiles (12)

In the Classroom

In a unit on dinosaurs, share this site on an interactive whiteboard or projector with students. The function they will find most interesting about this site is the area that describes the dinosaurs that existed in their local area! Brief bios are presented on all the dinosaurs, so this could also be a great resource if the students were to research their local dinosaurs for a project.

Use this middle-grades environmental science unit to help students investigate where lead comes from, how people are exposed, why children are especially vulnerable, and how prevention, public policy, and environmental justice connect to the issue. Designed for grades 5-8, the unit combines background information with a pre/post test, five lesson plans, research, discussion, writing, debate, field experiences, student and teacher reading lists, and additional resources. Students examine sources of lead in homes, air, soil, food, water, paint, gasoline, and batteries, then move into lead toxicity, regulations, community action, and environmental equity. Several activities are ready to adapt, including source-identification group work, a community contamination debate, environmental justice research, and a field trip or guest-speaker experience. Because the curriculum was written in 1997, teachers should verify current medical guidance, lead regulations, exposure recommendations, and statistics before using it in the classroom.

tag(s): conservation (110), environment (248), pollution (59)

In the Classroom

Incorporate these lesson plans and more with any of your environmental studies. Have students complete a graphic organizer as a pre- and post-assessment on what they know about lead and lead contamination. A KWL chart works well. Replace paper graphic organizers with online, interactive graphic organizers at Holt Graphic Organizers, reviewed here. As you work through the unit, ask students to write about how to apply the ideas in this curricular unit on the environment and health to their own home lives. Exchange paper journal with a blog tool like Site123, reviewed here. If you are teaching younger students and looking for an easy way to integrate technology and check for understanding, challenge your students to create a blog using Edublog, reviewed here.

Help students connect environmental science to the health of their own homes, schools, and communities with this nine-day, resource-based curriculum unit for fourth and fifth graders. The unit introduces environmentalism, ecosystems and food chains, oil spills, nuclear power, hazardous waste, toxic chemicals, pesticides, lead, and other environmental health concerns through readings, research, discussion, role-play, mapping, and hands-on science investigations. Activities include collecting visible air-pollution particles, constructing food chains, modeling an oil-spill cleanup, researching alternative energy sources, comparing household cleaning alternatives, and contacting a local health department about lead risks. A separate section walks students through the scientific method, making it a useful source of ready-to-go investigations and background information. Because the unit was written in 1996, teachers should verify time-sensitive statistics, health recommendations, and scientific claims before using them with students.

tag(s): conservation (110), ecology (112)

Explore ecosystems and environmental responsibility with this substantial, ready-to-use interdisciplinary curriculum unit designed for young learners. The Earth and Me: Forever Friends introduces landforms, soil, the water cycle, vegetation, climate, habitats, pollution, acid rain, recycling, and conservation while emphasizing how plants, animals, people, and natural resources depend on one another. The unit was developed for a kindergarten classroom and is recommended by the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute for grades K-3 in life, physical, and Earth science. Teachers will find six lesson plans, an additional lesson focused on the three R's, suggested activities, experiments, art projects, field experiences, eco-journal writing, and annotated bibliographies. The original unit is designed to extend over approximately four months, but individual investigations such as comparing soils, growing seedlings, exploring landforms, and sorting reusable and recyclable materials can also stand alone.

tag(s): conservation (110), ecology (112), ecosystems (117), habitats (113), natural resources (35), pollution (59), recycling (51)

In the Classroom

Take advantage of the many lesson ideas and activities found on the site, all designed by a teacher and explained from a teacher's point of view.

This site from the U.S. Department of Energy describes the origins and goals of the Human Genome Project, as well as the reasons for DOE's involvement. It offers a literate, sometimes challenging introduction to the effort to map the entire human genetic code. Apart from its obvious use for report research, the site could also serve as an introduction to genetics, cloning, or other aspects of high-tech biology.

tag(s): dna (53), genetics (84)

In the Classroom

The reading here is both dense and full of high-level vocabulary that almost limit its usage to that of an AP classroom. However, if your readers are able, this could be used in a class debate or discussion about current events in high-tech biology. You can always use a tool like Professor Word, reviewed here, which is a bookmarklet you use to highlight any word on the page to see it's definition.

Though this site has been archived, the contents remain timeless and useful in many settings. BBC's Flash-enabled tour of the human body pairs nice animations with relatively detailed descriptions of the major organs and body systems. The texts explain the roles of each body part in maintaining digestion, respiration, circulation, and overall body metabolism. There are also limited links to external information sources. The animations do a particularly good job of showing "how all the parts fit together."

tag(s): body systems (47), respiration (10)

Introduce this activity with a projector or on an interactive whiteboard to show students how to navigate the site. Then, in your flipped or blended classroom (or at a computer center), have students explore on their own.
