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.

Everglades National Park

"Algae: It Feeds, Kills and Dies" Plant Activities: 4-6th Grade

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

Our "Plant" unit is broken into six lesson plans, each taking from 20 minutes to several class periods to complete, and targeted mainly at 4th-6th grade students. A class needn't complete every lesson in the unit, though some lessons do refer to one another and are better done in sequence. However, each lesson comes with its own set of objectives and resources.

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.

Wind Cave National Park

Cave Cracks

• Type: Student Activities
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

A "cool" demonstration using a block of ice to simulate carbonic acid dissolving away a cave.

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)

Channel Islands National Park

Channel Islands Live Dive: 5th Grade

• Type: Distance Learning
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

Students explore the kelp forest with a park ranger-diver through an interactive distance learning program. The role of kelp as a producer and, therefore, its ability to produce oxygen through photosynthesis are emphasized. Affects of human activities on kelp forests are also explored.

Meeting the Fire Triangle

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

In this activity, students make a physical model of the Fire Triangle as a geometric shape. They manipulate the model and discuss the components of the Fire Triangle in the context of things they are already familiar with - candle flames, campfires, and engines.

Tort Liability: Franke v. City of St. Louis

• Type: Field Trips
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

Frederick Franke was injured in St. Louis when part of a building fell on his head as he was walking. Tragically, he died as a result of his injuries. His mother, Julia Franke, sued the owner of the building and the City of St. Louis for damages. This case was heard in 1888 in the St. Louis Courthouse (the Old Courthouse). Students will reenact the case and hear from all sides.

Agate Fossil Beds National Monument

Death Traps

• Type: Teacher Reference Materials
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

This scripted slideshow for teachers describes the process by which animals have died and become fossilized in waterholes, influenced by a severe drought. It compares two sites, separated by 13 million years: Agate Fossil Beds and the Badlands. It is designed to teach students the principles relating to the behavior, habitat and survival of living animals; as well as scientific study of past life forms known as fossils; and severe climatic events.
