Delve into a Bengali folktale with a series of reading comprehension activities. Before kids read The Ghost Catcher, they discuss the concept of reflections and mirrors. They then answer comprehension questions about the characters and...

Dry ice isn't dehydrated water, and young scientists learn why in this fascinating presentation. After watching a video, they complete three different activities using dry ice. Upon completion, they discuss the scientific...

Open learners' eyes to the challenge of finding safe drinking water – something we often take for granted in our country. The PowerPoint presentation includes images, graphs, diagrams, and even a video to stimulate discussion on how we...

Environmentalists test stream water for temperature, pH, and turbidity. Each group shares their information and then the class makes an overall evaluation of the water quality. A slide show sets the backdrop for the teaching portion and...

Young meteorologists examine the formation of a hurricane in a resource focused on severe weather conditions. Once they learn that a hurricane is also a tropical cyclone, and detail the different levels associated...

This resource provides a short experiment for students to explore how clouds are formed.

Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students read the book The Magic School Bus Wet All Over and summarize the steps of the water cycle. Students label a picture map of the water cycle.

In this thermal energy activity, students will explore different ways heat is transferred including conduction and convection. Students will look at how insulators work and how room temperature can affect heat transfer. This activity has...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Fourth graders witness cloud formation in a jar during a teacher lead simulation. They research, draw and predict weather using information they gather about clouds.

Students pretend they are water droplets traveling through the water cycle. Using their text, they discover the steps in the cycle and the different paths water can take. They write a report about their journey through the water cycle...

Young scholars observe and discuss what happens when water turns to ice and when ice turns into water. In this freezing and melting lesson plan, students observe ice and water and complete hands on activities that change their properties.

Learners examine the components of the water cycle and follow step by step directions to build a three dimensional cloud. The vocabulary words used in the lesson plan are attached to the cloud for a lesson plan review.

In this science and language arts worksheet, students examine 16 words in a word bank; all pertain to the water cycle. Students find the words in a word search puzzle.

A 30-question multiple choice chemistry test challenges takers. Topics touched upon include thermochemistry, equilibrium, behavior of gases, and pH. Problem solving is required in order to answer most of the questions. Other questions...

In this moles worksheet, students review solubility, moles of solute, molar mass, and colligative properties. This worksheet has 10multiple choice questions and 11 problems to solve.

In this grade 4 science worksheet, 4th graders complete 25 multiple choice questions covering a variety of 4th grade science concepts. An answer key is included.

When learning about several different processes at a time, it can be difficult to differentiate between them. In the resource found here, you can see what your kids know about some of Earth's systems including the carbon, hydrologic,...

In this water cycle instructional activity, students read an informational passage, observe a labeled diagram of the transpiration water cycle, and answer comprehension questions. Students answer seven multiple choice questions and write...

First graders work on patterns in nature and to recognize how different living things adapt to different environments such as the rain forest.

Learners conduct an experiment. In this science activity, students create their own fog. Learners observe the results.

Third graders observe the properties of water and in its different states. In this states of matter lesson, 3rd graders view a video, read The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks and experiment with freezing, melting and boiling...

For this weather worksheet, students read a detailed information sheet about different kinds of clouds and what weather they bring. Students answer 12 questions

Students build a model to simulate parts of the water cycle. They recognize and explain the essential elements of the water cycle.
