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.

Lake Clark National Park & Preserve

How Clear Is the Water?

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade

In this lesson students will test their knowledge of ecosystems and the qualities necessary to sustain life by creating Secchi disks, testing turbidity (water clarity), and making predictions about the habitat that might exist. This fun, hands-on lesson allows students to be the scientist and make predictions based on their findings in their lab reports.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Watching the Watershed

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

We’ll use a model of a watershed to investigate how water moves through our landscape and have a chance to make our own model to test in the classroom.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Explore the Universe

• Type: Science Labs
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Solving this space mystery will help students understand the fundamentals of the scientific method by having them do background research, formulate a rudimentary hypothesis, test the hypothesis using a physical model the class constructs, evaluate and report the results of that test, and apply their findings to other objects to test their hypothesis’ ability to predict outcomes.

Devils Postpile National Monument

Climate Science in Focus (Evaluations)

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade

In “Climate Science in Focus (Evaluations),” students will demonstrate what they’ve learned from the unit by completing a post test evaluation.

Lowell National Historical Park

The Human Impact on the Living Planet Virtual Field Trip

• Type: Distance Learning
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Tracing the water cycle, from precipitation to surface water runoff, students investigate how humans’ impact the health of the environment. Through stories of everyday activities, students make predictions, conduct observations, and formulate conclusions as our staff conduct live experiments. After observing the test of a simple water filter, students propose changes to improve the design and discuss ways in which their community can reduce its impact on Earth’s resources.

Cane River Creole National Historical Park

Cartography: Map Making and Red River Campaign of 1864 Battle Plans

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade

Learn about the Red River Campaign of 1864, and how maps contributed to the Civil War. Test your skills as a cartographer as you try to recreate the Battle of Maisfield through this map building activity.

Hot Springs National Park

Protecting the Water

• Type: Field Trips
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

This program explores the ways that Hot Springs National Park protects the natural water cycle and harnesses the water for human use. Students will explore different challenges from habitat protection to engineering that the park faces in protecting the 143-degree thermal water for public use. Designed for 5th and 6th grade Earth Science and Engineering. Advanced programs may be used for High School programs.

Glacier National Park

The Work of Water

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Students construct a river model. Then use a watering can or hose to observe the role water has in causing weathering, erosion, deposition and sculpting the landscape.

Wind Cave National Park

Is the Water Safe?

• Type: Student Activities
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

A brief student activity to help students realize that taste and smell aren't always good indicators of pollution.

Arches National Park

Water Cycle

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

Students hear a story and dance to a water cycle music video. While visiting a wetlands ecosystem they act out the process of erosion in different environments, and participate in a relay where they pretend to be agents of evaporation and precipitation. Students imagine they experience the water cycle first hand and write a poem about it. Afterwards, each student creates a regional drawing of the water cycle.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park

What’s in the Water?

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

Determine effects people have on the water in the environment and how to protect this necessary natural resource. Meets Kentucky 3rd-5th grade science standards. This lesson was created by Kentucky teachers as a part of the History and Science Explore Project.
