Twenty changes have occurred today, and Dr. Sparks needs help sorting them out! First-time physical science fans simply decide whether each represents a physical or a chemical change. The handout would make a useful quiz or review...

Communicate chemistry clearly with a concise guide to writing chemical equations. It covers everything from the parts of a chemical equation to the different types of reactions that budding chemists may encounter.

Students differentiate physical and chemical changes. In this chemistry lesson, students give examples of each type of change. They take the review quiz at the end of the lesson.

This is actually a 10-day mini unit on thermal energy for your high school chemists. Every avenue is taken to get learners absorbed in heat: a pretest, a PowerPoint presentation, Internet exploration, demonstrations, lab activities, and...

High schoolers will identify the factors that contribute to erosion and weathering. They will start by differentiating between chemical and mechanical weathering. They then apply what they learned by playing the online jeopardy game. Key...

This comprehension worksheet provides readers with an article about basic matter and then asks them to use this information to respond to a series of comprehension questions.

Eighth graders practice balancing chemical equations. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders explain why it is necessary to balance equations. They complete practice worksheets individually.

Students differentiate physical and chemical change. In this chemistry lesson, students list examples of those changes. They apply what they learned in a Jeopardy style team game.

A chemistry lesson presents 14 chemical reactions for scholars to observe, write the equation, and balance the equations. Additionally, it provides ways to extend the activity as it relates to catalysts.

Learners work in pairs to complete a worksheet that asks them to balance several chemical equations. They partner with other students to correct the equations and then follow online instructions to create a table in Word.

Eighth graders analyze physical change in mass. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe, measure and calculate the amount of physical change occurring in mass before and after the change. Students should be familiar with elements,...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Third graders read, write, and listen to information about the sun and its effects on the Earth.as it relates to its axis, orbit, rotate, and revolution.  In this solar system lesson, 3rd graders examine how the sun...

Students explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

For this standardized test practice activity, eighth graders answer 83 multiple-choice and short-answer questions to review their science knowledge.

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Students explore volcanoes. In this science lesson, students discuss the characteristics of volcanoes and view a video segment about a volcano. Students examine plate tectonics.

Students explore how natural earth materials are processed into a human-made product. They simulate a manufacturing process by making paper. Students review the importance of recycling in preserving our natural earth resources.

Students play Chembalancer game and balance equations using the trial and error method.

Learners examine the physical characteristics of several types of air masses to discover how air masses can be identified and defined by their temperature and moisture content.
