Students study evaporation and condensation as parts of the water cycle. First they determine the similarities and differences between a cup of water and an ice cube before measuring the volume of ice before melting it, and remeasuring its volume. They observe condensation as steam on a piece of Plexiglass. Finally, they discuss the physical changes in the three states of matter in the water cycle. Full Review »

Students determine what is meant by a physical change, and they demonstrate how they can make physical changes. They complete activities at stations that entail changes in color, size, texture, hardness, or state of matter. Using simple materials such as paper, scissors, markers, ice, water and sugar, they discover how to make changes happen. Full Review »

Students identify characteristics of a simple physical and chemical change. They describe objects by the properties of the materials from which they are made and that these properties can be used separate. Students describe the physical properties of ingredients used to make ice cream. Full Review »

Students look at a variety of examples of matter to determine each object's physical properties. They list physical properties of each object on a piece of paper or in a notebook. They record any observations that they make, especially anything unusual or unexpected. Then they discuss their findings with the class. Full Review »
