In this activity, you will use the scientific method and secondary data to build a dataset and answer the following question: Is Ohio getting wetter or drier?
In order to answer this question, you will follow these steps:
1) Make a prediction (hypothesis) �� with justification �� based on fact sheets available about the question topic;
2) After you have made a prediction, you will collect secondary data online (from the USGS WaterWatch program) and build a database on MS-Excel;
3) You will then explore trends on your data and create graphs/visual representations of these trends using MS-Excel;
4) Finally, you will compile all your conclusions, evaluate the accuracy of your prediction (hypothesis), and create a report of your findings.

Students use compasses and bar magnets to simulate the collection of sea floor magnetic polarity data. Even though the students do not directly observe the magnets, they use the information to infer tectonic processes present at the mid-ocean ridges and calculate the spreading rates for two different ridges.

This series of activities is designed to introduce students to the role of sediments and sedimentary rocks in the global carbon cycle. Students learn how stable carbon isotopes can be used to reconstruct ancient sedimentary environments. Students will make some simple calculations, formulate hypotheses, and think about the implications of their results. The activity includes an optional demonstration of the density separation of a sediment sample into a light, organic fraction and a heavier, mineral fraction.

This project is a modified version of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute Student Leadership Council's Seismic Design Competition. This project has teams of students work to research, plan, build and analyze a cost-effective model building that is designed for seismic loading and has architectural aesthetic appeal. The models are subjected to multiple ground motions, which represent different return period earthquakes. Video of the project can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkruBhAyC5s
