SCIENCE IT'S ELEMENTAL GRADES: 7 - 11 A cooperative learning activity in which students identify with Earth, Air, Fire, or Water. MATERIALS: paper pencil art/modeling supplies matches sample of Soil, Water balloons or a pinwheel METHOD: You might begin this as an introduction to the topic of Chemistry as a branch of science or, a unit on elements. Consider a reading on alchemy and how early alchemists tried long and hard to transmute less costly elements into more valuable ones. Aristotle might be mentioned as an early scientist involved. Students get into 4 groups each representing one of the early elements - Earth, Air, Fire, or Water After some time to brainstorm, students report on characteristics of the element they represent, whether it can best be described by 2 of the following 4 properties: dry, wet, hot or cold, and how early alchemists might have tried to change these, and later other elements from one to the other. Depending on the grade level, students could use matches, a beaker of water, soil samples, a balloon full of air (or empty) and or develop charts or posters illustrating their findings and propositions. A group I did this with presented their results in the form of a rap style poem.

116. Lesson Plan - Earth Day Teaching plan for teachers of grades 4 6. Includes contact information for organizations that offer materials, information, and projects for protecting http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlresources/units/Byrnes-celebrations/Earth Day- H

Mini-Unit Subtopic: Earth Day Grade levels: 4th through 6th Author: Becky Johnson Background: Our planet is a complex system of land, air, and water. Living things depend on each other and this system for existence. Over the thousands of years since life has existed on the earth, it has undergone some changes. The following are some of these changes: Many species became extinct before mankind made its appearance, however, since humans have existed on the earth, the extinction rate has risen dramatically. More than 4,000 species are currently considered threatened. Plant and animal life become endangered for many reasons. Forest depletion, hunting, and pollution are the most obvious factors. When an animal becomes endangered, dozens of other species can also become endangered. For example, elephants disappeared from southern Africa about 80 years ago because of hunters. Elephants continue to be hunted, mainly for their costly ivory tusks. The endangerment of elephants also has endangered such animals in their area as wildebeest and antelope who live off of the open-grassland which elephants create by eating their way through a jungle. Oxygen-producing trees and plants are being cut down for the purpose of growing foods, grazing livestock, making paper products, etc. The cutting down of forests puts forest wildlife at risk and decreases the oxygen in the air. It also defaces the natural beauty of the planet. Tropical rain forests are often cleared for farming. The soil in these forests are poor in nutrients, and within a few years the crops fail and the land is abandoned. New forests are cleared.
