Matter: The 3 States of Water
The states of water are the focus of this PowerPoint. The presentation includes definitions of liquids, solids, and vapors. It also includes examples and illustrations of each of the states of water and information about how water can...
Curated OER
Water 1: Water and Ice
Learners explore the states of water. In this science lesson plan, students use observation, measurement, and communication skills to describe water as it changes from a solid to a liquid.

Water Cycling in the Wilderness: Alaska quarter reverse
The Alaskan wilderness contains every imaginable element of the water cycle: it has flowing streams, cool spring rain, and frozen glaciers. Pupils use a series of worksheets to identify and define evaporation, condensation, and...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore water and ice. In this physical science lesson, students participate in a science inquiry and observe the characteristics of ice and water. Students compare the differences between a solid and liquid and record their...

Conservation: Water
Here is a fantastic experiment-based lesson on water conservation, waste, and filtration. The lesson plan is well-developed and provides background information, discussion leads, and six scripted lab activities anyone can do. The class...
Curated OER
States of Water
Students investigate the 3 states of matter. For this physical science "matter" lesson, students observe and participate in a number of demonstrations involving melting and freezing water. Students observe the effect heat has on changing...

States of Matter: Making Ice Cream
Who knew that learning about the states of matter could taste so sweet? This fun hands-on activity captures the attention of learners as they use what they know about solids, liquids, and gases to create their very own batch of ice cream.
Curated OER
Waters of the Earth
Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.
Curated OER
Water 1: Water and Ice
Young scholars discover the forms water can take. In this hands-on science lesson, students examine how water can change from a solid to a liquid and then back again.
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...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore water and how it changes forms. In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows them how water changes form and what it looks and feels like.
Curated OER
Water 1: Water and Ice
Learners investigate water in its solid and liquid form. In this states of matter lesson, students experiment to see what happens as water goes from a solid, ice, to a liquid, water, and back again. They write about and illustrate the...

Water Molecules in Drama
The state of molecules is changing. Young actors and actresses perform the process of phase change in front of the class. They assume the roles of water molecules and, as a group, show how the behavior of the molecules in the solid,...
Curated OER
Cool Stuff
Young scientists must place a check mark next to the answer they think is correct regarding things that are warm, cool, hard, and soft. This would be a good way to begin discussing how some things actually change states of matter...
Curated OER
For a Change
Here is a worksheet that has young scientists think about things that been changed as a result of heating and cooling, and if they can be returned to their original form. There are seven scenarios to consider, and they must choose,...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students investigate how water changes state. In this water lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. This lesson includes extensions which can be accessed via the provided web links.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore water as it changes states of matter. In this physical property lesson, students use observation, measurement, and communication skills to describe changes in water as it goes from a solid to a liquid and back again.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Learners 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.
Curated OER
Disappearing Water
Learners explore the water cycle. In this earth science instructional activity, students observe and measure water in a closed container and in an open container. Learners record their observations and compare their sets of data to draw...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Young scholars investigate the states of matter. In this physics lesson, students use water and ice to demonstrate the characteristics of a solid and liquid. Young scholars record their observations as the state of the water changes.
Curated OER
Exploring the Water Cycle
Students investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students create an ecosystem within a 2-liter bottle. Students record scientific observations as they observe the water cycle within their ecosystem.
Curated OER
Water 1: Water and Ice
Students examine the changes as water goes from solid to liquid. In this states of matter lesson, students observe and record the changes to water as it changes from solid to liquid and back to solid.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore the physical properties of water. In this water lesson, students explore water as it changes states. They observe, measure and use communication skills to describe change.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Young scholars study the liquid and solid states of water. In this water states activity, students complete three experiments to study water as it cycles from a liquid state to a solid state and back. Young scholars finish with a Venn...
