Curated OER
Exploring Molecules
Learners explore the process of science by studying and analyzing fundamental biological molecules in this introductory lesson on molecules. The lesson includes a pre-lesson worksheet and a question sheet for final, individual assessment.

An Introduction To Material Sciences
Students investigate the concept of molecular structure. They describe the behavior of simulated molecules and identify any dislocations in crystalline structures. They also define various related vocabulary words and use them in...
Curated OER
Forces on the Human Molecule
Pupils conduct several simple lab activities to explore the five fundamental load types that can act on structures: tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion. For this activity, students play the role of molecules in a beam...
Curated OER
How Big is a Molecule?
Students estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid. They conduct an experiment using chalk dust, water, and oleic acid, solve various calculations, and answer discussion questions.
Curated OER
Diffusion Of Molecules
Students investigate molecular movement while studying how to perform a chemistry investigation.
Curated OER
Matter And Its Changes
Fifth graders explore the phases of matter, make observations of matter, the physical and chemical properties of matter, solutions and mixtures, formation of molecules and atoms and molecules all through hands on activities.
Curated OER
Molecules And Temperature
Students explain that molecules are in everything living and nonliving. They explain that molecules are too small to see but we can watch their movement.
Curated OER
Atmosphere Molecules
Students use foam packing pieces to represent molecular positioning inside the four layers of earth's atmosphere. This lesson help students visualize that molecules become thinner as one ascends higher in the atmosphere.

Molecules
Students combine movement with science in this fun integrated lesson. When students are "liquid" they can "melt" or "ooze" at the end and when they are are "solids" they can "freeze" in a shape.
