Grade 5 - 8 Earth Science Investigations

You may select the investigations below that best fit your science curriculum.

Forces The Change the Earth

E-1   Caves, Stalactites and Stalagmites
Discover and observe formation processes of stalagmites and statactites in caves.

E-2   Crystals
Build a three-dimensional crystal model while observing growth of NaCl cubic crystals.

E-3   Rocks and Minerals
Test, identify and classify rocks and minerals.

E-4   The Rock Cycle
Demonstrate weathering and erosion of rocks, rock formation and cycles.

E-5   Plate Tectronics
Understand the forces of an ever-changing Earth by demonstrating Plate Tectronics and Continental Drift.

E-6   Topographic Maps
Interpret a topographic map to build a model of a mountain.

E-8   Crystals in a Garden
Observe the formation of crystals and their geometric shapes.

E-9   Oceanography
Study ocean floor mapping while simulating radar and echo sounding.

E-10   Desalination
Construct a model of a solar still to change salt water to fresh water. Develop an awareness of the value of water as a resource.

E-11   Biome In a Box
Identify and construct a model of a biome.

E-12  Pollution Shake
Simulate the natural cleaning process of wetlands.

E-13   Seismograph
Build a working model of a seismograph. Observe and interpret seismic waves. Interpret seismic waves in terms of vibration frequencies.

E-14   Fossils
Make an altered fossil-petrified wood; an unaltered fossile-amber; and an imprint fossil of a plant.

E-15  Land Formations
Investigate processes in the Lithosphere in order to understand land formations.

Solor System and the Universe

E-16  Be a Star Gazer
Learn about the motions of bodies in space by assembling models of a sundial, constellation viewer, and an astrolab.
