In this lesson, students will communicate information about their local watershed systems and how they function to move water through areas to different bodies of water.

In this lesson, students will explore the cycling of matter and flow of energy through the Great Salt Lake ecosystem.

In this lesson, students will create an article that uses evidence from the data they have analyzed throughout this program to design solutions that address what is happening to the lake.

Students will analyze the data to see the effect of the loss and reintroduction of apex predator. Students will develop a model that shows how energy flows from different parts of Yellowstone National Park and the African Savanna in a food web. Students will construct an explanation for the patterns seen in interactions between animals in an ecosystem can change depending on populations and how people can play a role in these interactions.

This article highlights resources related to water from the American Museum of Natural History and at-home activities on ice and water.

This activity serves to familiarize students with different types of birds and how their physical characteristics vary based on where they live and what they eat.

Use this worksheet in the 1st & 2nd grade sections, "Bird Structure and Function Observations," or the 3rd and 4th grade sections, "Bird Trait and Behavior Observations."

Use this worksheet key to go over answers to "Bird Beak Worksheet" in the 1st & 2nd grade sections, "Bird Structure and Function Observations," or the 3rd and 4th grade sections, "Bird Trait and Behavior Observations."

In this activity, students will learn about the life cycle of a brine fly.

In this activity, students will learn about the life cycle of a brine shrimp.

This article from the free online magazine Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle provides appropriate science lessons for Grades K-5. The focus is on acquainting young learners with climate-change concepts that are not too complex for their grade level and will not frighten them. In each issue, the magazine develops articles around one of the seven essential principles of climate science. The author believes early lessons about water availability and extreme weather events will prepare students for complex climate concepts they will encounter in later grades.

The focus of the Count to Know How Many intervention has two phases. Phase 1: Count and write the number of objects up to 20 and understand that the quantitiy stays the same even if objects are moved into different shapes or line. Phase 2: Count out the requested number of objects up to 20 and write the number of objects.

This list of carefully selected books for grades K-5 highlights nonfiction about climate proxies, those preserved physical characteristics, such as fossils, that scientists use to reconstruct past climates. Also highlighted are a few books that provide information about two past climatic events -- the last ice age and the Dust Bowl. In each issue of the free, online magazine Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle, the virtual bookshelf recommends books that accurately portray the theme drawn from the principles of climate sciences.

Use activity to familiarize students with how living things survive at the Great Salt Lake. Explore who eats who through this hands-on activity, and discover how animals depend on their surroundings to get what they need, including food, water, shelter, and a favorable temperature.

Use these printouts along with the "Finding Food in Great Salt Lake Activity."

Students will describe how energy changes from one form to another and model where all energy goes and explain that no energy is lost.

Fill out this worksheet while going through the following lessons: "Investigating the Great Salt Lake Timelapse," "Finding Evidence From a Graph," and "Salinity Graph" in 3rd and 4th grade.

Use this key to go over answers to the "Graphs of Great Salt Lake Worksheet."
