Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
Perspectives After the Surrender at Appomattox CH
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
This program will allow students to think about the different perspectives of those who lived through the Civil War, and how various viewpoints interpreted the events surrounding the Surrender Meeting at Appomattox. This program consists of several assignments designed to help students explore these differences through the stories of three people present at Appomattox Court House in 1865.
Acadia National Park
Virtual: Grades 6-8: Marine Chemistry
- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Sea water is more than just H2O (water) and NaCl (salt). It is also made up of minerals, nutrients, and dissolved gasses that marine plants and animals need to survive. Learn about the chemistry of the ocean and why it is so important to marine and human life. (1 hour)
Acadia National Park
Virtual: Grades 7-10: Waves in Acadia – Sound and Light
- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Draw sonograms. Measure infrared. Chart radio waves. Explore real world examples of light and sound waves in Acadia National Park with this interactive, virtual program. (1 hour)
Acadia National Park
Virtual:Grades 7-10: Physics of Acadia: Ocean Waves
- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade
Ocean waves are fascinating to watch, but how are they formed? Explore and learn about the interaction between sunlight, wind, and water and how they create waves using basic principles of physics. (1 hour)
Acadia National Park
Virtual: Grades 6-8: Geology: A Story Written in the Landscape
- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
The story of Acadia's formation involves colliding continents, ancient oceans, intruding magma chambers, and bulldozing glaciers. We will investigate the rocks and the landscape to learn about Acadia's dynamic story of past and ongoing change. (45 minutes)
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
What's in the Water?
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade
Water quality is measured using many physical, chemical, and biological assessments. In this lesson, introduce your students to five water chemistry tests. Students will become familiar with pH, nitrates, phosphates, dissolved oxygen and turbidity and their relationship to the Cuyahoga River Watershed. They will begin to understand acceptable test value ranges, make connections between water quality and the biological community and become familiar with the causes of poor water quality.

- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
Wind, waves, and ice! Become a sediment detective and investigate how weathering and erosion have shaped the landscape of Acadia National Park over time. (1 hour)
Acadia National Park
Acids and Bases
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
Students will do a simple experiment to become more familiar with what an acid is and what is a base
National Park of American Samoa
Coral Reefs: Ecosystems Dissolving
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Corals face in our modern world, a great threat due to a projected change in water chemistry in the ocean due to global warming. Just as carbon dioxide (the main greenhouse gas causing global warming) is increasing in the air, it also increases in seawater in its dissolved form. That makes seawater more acidic which, in turn, may slow the rate at which corals build their calcium carbonate skeletons.
Yellowstone National Park
Atomic Elements and Archeology: Tracing Ancient Resource Access and Trade Routes Using XRF
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is one scientific tool archeologists use to study the chemical composition of artifacts found on a site. This lesson plan illustrates the method behind XRF and describes how the resulting data can illustrate where and how ancient peoples obtained resources, whether through local sources or trade. Este plan de clase con actividades incluido también está disponible en español.
