Students observe the currents that occur through convection in water and relate them to the currents in molten rock in the Earth's mantle. They set up a convection current in a cake pan of water using a bag of ice on one end and an...

Students create their own ice cream sundae given various toppings from around the world. In this foods and languages of the world diversity lesson, students develop an understanding of diversity in culture, family structure, ability and...

Students freeze colored water. In this art lesson, students take the blocks of ice out of the freezer, put the blocks into a small pool and watch the ice melt.

Students comprehend the impact of global warming on our coastal cities. They appreciate how geographic information systems can be used to represent scientific data. Students research the melting of the ice caps in Antarctica and the Arctic.

Students investigate the formation of rain. They experiment by boiling water in a tea kettle and placing ice cubes and water in a pan. They hold the pan of water over the steaming spout so that the steam strikes the bottom and sides of...

First graders observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas. They predict what they think happen to ice cubes as they sit out. They paint water with paintbrushes outside the classroom in the sun and watch the water...

Students play a game of marbles outdoors on an iced area. They begin by playing a warm-up game of tag and proceed to sliding their marbles on an iced surface into holes. They attempt to gain points by sliding the marble into holes of...

Students experiment with hot and cold water, and ice, to examine how both clouds and fog are formed. Students observe and record results, and report their findings to classmates.

Fourth graders determine how weathering, specifically ice, snow, and freezing water change the Earth's surface and rocks. After completing the investigations, they explain how heating and cooling expand and contract marbles until cracks...

Young scholars investigate the nervous system and how physical distractions influence mental performance. They work in pairs as a researcher and subject and memorize a series of words with no distractions. After repeating the list of...

Pupils research about ways to keep food from spoiling. In this health science lesson, students design an experiment to keep the ice cubes from melting. They present their designs and results in class.

Students identify the different colors in a rainbow. They experiment with dropping food coloring into a water and then making ice cubes. They discuss what happens to the water in the freezer

Students, in groups, observe the effect of water and ice on surface features of the land. They alsoexplore erosion and deposition.

High schoolers make a graph that shows how the number of sunspots has changed over the past 30 years and discover how there is a pattern in sunspot number. They find a disruption in this pattern due to the Little Ice Age.

Learners work together to develop a container to keep an ice cube in a solid state. They identify the three stages of matter and test different materials for this experiment. They share their results with the class.

Young scholars design an experiment to determine which type of container would be best to use to keep drinks cool on a hot day. Students test paper cups, styrofoam cups, and metal cans by filling them with ice water and they use a...

Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.

First graders observe what the letter "m" looks like as it is written. They pretend to make the sound they make after eating a bowl of their favorite ice cream saying, "mmmmm" and do a cheer for the letter "m". They then look at a...

Students discuss Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws using the example of a football linebacker and a small child pushing against each other on an ice rink. Students are able to visualize the results of the push and link it to the laws. Discussion...

Learners study freezing temperatures and practice taking temperature readings with a thermometer. They write about a personal experience with weather. They discuss that the freezing point is at 32?? and that any water outside will...

Students examine the effect of the various ice ages on Wisconsin. In groups, they create a map representing the five geographic regions of Wisconsin. They must write out a description of each region to be placed on a poster board. ...

Students recreate characters from the story, "The Fairytale Cake." In this fairy tale characterization lesson, students first listen to fairy tales read aloud. They then use play dough and plastic bowls as pretend "cakes and icing", and...

Students learn about cells. In this cells lesson plan, students take several days to learn about plant and animal cells and make their own edible cells with a cookie and icing.

In this rate of change worksheet, students compute the amount of time a block of ice will take to melt. There is only one question on the page.
