Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore water and how it changes forms. In this investigative lesson plan students participate in an activity that shows them how water changes form and what it looks and feels like.
Curated OER
Ice
Students examine the different propereties of ice, such as freezing temperature. In this scientific lesson students complete several activities using ice, like making ice cream.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore the states of matter. For this physical science lesson, students observe what happens to water when it freezes and record observations. Students then observe ice when it melts and record observations.
Curated OER
Melting and Freezing
Students explore how various substances change from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a solid and how temperature, pressure and nature play an important role in this process. In this melting and freezing lesson, students review the...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students perform experiments in pairs to visualize the changes in water during freezing and melting. In this properties of water lesson, students use their senses and inquiry tools to understand the changes in state of water. Suggested...

Water 3: Melting and Freezing
Students understand that most substances may exist as solids, liquids, or gases depending on the temperature, pressure, and nature of that substance. This knowledge is critical to understanding that water in our world is constantly...
Curated OER
Slippery, Slippery Ice
Students investigate how salt affects ice by experimenting in class. In this water properties lesson, students utilize a penny, salt and pans of ice to examine the sliding ability of a penny across a layer of ice. Students then place...
Curated OER
Earthquakes
Students observe the melting of ice. In this phase change lesson, students observe ice as it melts. They discuss the process and create a Venn diagram comparing water and ice.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Young scholars explore the states of water. In this water states lesson, students observe ice over time and the changes that take place. Young scholars read a related text and draw their observations in a journal entry. Students discuss...
Curated OER
Daily Survival Requirements of Water
Students will use inquiry science to complete an investigation. They create hypotheses predicting the changes water undergoes in becoming ice and determine how much ice needs to be melted to create one 8 oz. glass of water.
