The Science of Diving
Introduce gas laws using the popular topic of SCUBA diving. This activity makes a connection between the gas laws and the effect of pressure and temperature changes during diving. Young engineers complete introductory experiments to...
Lesson Planet
Scuba Science
Students explore various topics while discovering scuba diving as a science. In this scuba science lesson, students discuss the four oceans of the world, examine the water cycle and draw a diagram depicting this process. Students also...
Lesson Planet
For the Love of Scuba
Students explore oceanography by reading a nonfiction book in class. In this scuba diving instructional activity, students read the book For the Love of Scuba in class and analyze the techniques and equipment used in ocean exploration....

Applications Using Linear Models: Scuba Diving
Dive into this resource on rates of change and linear models. Pupils use two sliders in an interactive to adjust water temperature and depth. They use a given linear equation to calculate the rate of change in water temperature per unit...
Lesson Planet
Action Figure Diver
Will your next buoyancy lab rise to the occasion? Make a splash with action figure divers! Teams of young physicists explore the relationship between mass and buoyancy by adding weights or balloons to achieve a diver that neither sinks...
Lesson Planet
Buoyancy
Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting instructional activity, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test...
Lesson Planet
Outta Gas
Students explore practical problems that are related to scuba diving. In this oxygen lesson students complete a lab activity.

Diving into the Wreck Questions
In this reading comprehension activity, students respond to 4 short answer and essay questions based on the poem "Diving into the Wreck."
Lesson Planet
Partial Pressure
At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class members perform...
Lesson Planet
Science: Surviving in Salt Water
Students read the Adventure Team journal about scuba diving and discuss underwater plants and animals. They discover the meaning of water cycle, erosion,and examine how plants and animals can live in salt water. Students experiment...
Lesson Planet
Divers's Decompression
Students are exposed to the physics and physiology of scuba diving, study the principals applied in the U.S. Navy Decompression tables and work out typical decompression problems.
Lesson Planet
Gardens Under the Sea: Coral Reefs
Students, with dive partners, explore coral reefs through scuba diving. They also explore radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry.
Lesson Planet
AP Chemistry Topic 3: Gases, Part C Example Problems
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures is used to solve the problems on this worksheet. A diagram depicts laboratory setup for collecting gas over water. Young chemists perform calculations for the hypothetical experiment. Ideally, have...
