1. Pan for gold! Head out to a river with an old mesh strainer and see what you can find in the water. Discuss the gold rush and how miners discovered fortune in the rivers. 2. Map out some of the world's largest rivers. Discuss with your kids where some of the largest rivers on Earth are, and how they contribute to the water cycle. 3. Read a book!

First, ask students to find a partner. Then have them tell their partner about a time when they have been somewhere in nature where there was lots of water. Have students describe to each other wha...Ask a few students to give an example to the whole class about a place with lots of water. Then discuss with the whole group where you can find water on Earth.Explain to students that a place with a lot of water on the Earth's surface is called a water body or body of water. Point to the list and mention that there are many different types of water bodie...Encourage students to ask questions about these bodies of water.Show students the example water body pictures. Explain that each of the pictures shows a different type of water body. Ask students to name them or name them yourself while showing the correspondin...Tell students that they have the choice to model either a lake, an ocean, or a river.Have each group choose the water body they want to model or assign a water body to each group.Note: Have all groups with the same water body next to each other as it will be easier to assess the models of one type of water body later.Explain to students that they will build their model inside the aluminum pan. Provide each group with the materials they will need and point out how some of the materials can be used; for example,...Gather all groups around the river models. Have students describe what they see in each model. Ask one group to explain how they made their model.Then discuss:Demonstrate this water movement using one of the river models (with permission of the student group that made the model). Poke holes into the aluminum pan where the river ends and set up a containe...Gather all groups around the ocean models. Have one group explain their model. Then ask the same questions as before and make a list of characteristic attributes of an ocean.Again, ask how the water in the ocean moves and demonstrate this water movement using one of the ocean models. Create some ocean waves by gently pushing and pulling the aluminum pan.Discussing or reading about these careers can help students make important connections between the in-class lesson and STEM job opportunities in the real world.
Together with students, research where different water bodies are found in the world. Have them find lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. on a map and let them write down the names of the water bodies they...Explore some specific water bodies in more detail. For example, have students research to find out which is the biggest lake, the largest ocean, or the longest river on Earth.Discuss with students how we use different water bodies. What do they do when they go to the ocean, river, or lake? Are there things that you can do in one water body but not the other?Point out that some water bodies are not natural but artificial, which means they are made by humans. Discuss what kind of water bodies are human-made and have students investigate why humans made...Lesson Plan Introduction. Dive into the natural world with these environmental science experiments. Explore ecosystems, conservation, and climate change. Discover the perfect middle school science experiment in this huge collection of age-appropriate science investigations.
The Water Cycle. Scientists estimate that there is about the same amount of water on Earth today as when it was formed. This water is continually being recycled between the earth, the atmosphere, rivers, lakes, oceans, and living things in a complex process called the water cycle (or hydrologic cycle).
And why is it that rivers usually have lots of turns or bends and almost never flow straight? In this science project, you will make river models using aluminum foil and water to explore how water flow inside a river changes based on its shape.

28 de abr. de 2022 · Summary. In this engineering design activity, students build models of natural sources of water. As they move through the design process, students differentiate between natural sources of water (such as rivers or lakes) and human-made sources of water, such as reservoirs or canals.
