Students observe a demonstration on the role of thermal conductivity in heat transfer.  In this thermal conductivity lesson, students design and conduct an experiment to compare the thermal conductivity of four substances....

Students investigate what matter is and how it changes states.  In this physical properties lesson, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter.  Students perform a...

Young scholars use plastic bottles, water, and condiment packets to simulate how natural gas comes from decaying ocean plants and animals. In this natural gas lesson plan, students also fill out lab packets and answer exit questions.

For this unit conversions worksheet, students calculate and convert measurements from one unit to another. They complete 109 short answer and problem solving questions involving unit conversions.

For this science worksheet, 6th graders take a multiple choice quiz about properties, energy, formulas, and more. Students complete 30 questions total.

Using the chemicals that leaked in the Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984, chemists examine covalent bonds. Provide for them the chemical reactions and have them draw Lewis diagrams for the molecules involved. That's about all there is to the...

Explain the coagulation and coalescence processes associated with milk protein and cheese. List the components of milk and explain how each component is dispersed in the milk. Describe what happens when milk protein is coagulated Discuss...

Students, using wood blocks and model boats, investigate how the shape of an object affects friction it encounters as it is drawn through a towing tank.

Students form hypotheses and carry out an investigation in order to answer a central question: Does soap float? The focus of this lesson is on scientific inquiry, but it incorporates scientific topics such as sinking and floating.

Students explore the difficulties, and some absurd situations, caused by repeated land subdivisions in the rural areas of poor and overpopulated regions.

Students make and test predictions about sinking and floating, and classify objects according to whether they sink or float.

Sixth graders complete a WebQuest to study the names and locations of the planets in the solar system. They investigate the causes of the seasons and the distance between the planets using astronomical units. They use technology to...

Learners participate in a science activity that integrates connections between health issues on Earth and how those issues are related to studies conducted on the International Space Station. T

Seventh graders investigate the particulate level of solids, liquids, and gases. They examine how the particle method show the interplay between scientific theories and evidence.

Young scholars experiment with solubility and bonding.

Students experiment to produce a visual convection current in the classroom and compare it to the images taken of convection cells in the Sun. They analyze the source of the Sun's energy and this type of energy transport.
