In this chemistry calculations review activity, high schoolers solve 33 review problems about titrations, precipitates, pressure and volume of gases, combustion reactions, heat of combustion, molar concentrations and molecular formulas.

Fifth graders research and complete a graphic organizer about the principles of flight. In this aviation instructional activity, 5th graders experiment to understand the work of Daniel Bernouli and his discoveries about air pressure....

Middle schoolers recognize the effect of Earth's gravity on an object's weight. In this force and motion lesson plan students understand the role of gravity when you drop an object. Middle schoolers experiment with small items. Students...

Learners look at how clouds form. In this cloud lesson, students make a cloud using water,  2 liter bottles and a match. They watch how the pressure and temperature changes the atmosphere in the bottle to create a cloud. 

In this gas laws review worksheet, students solve pressure, temperature and moles of gases to answer 50 multiple choice questions.

Students explore peer pressure by completing worksheets. In this drug awareness lesson, students define a long list of illegal and prescription drugs while viewing images of each drug. Students complete a word match worksheet and conduct...

Students investigate the properties of air through inflated objects. In this physical science instructional activity, students examine gas as a state of matter. Student push on inflated objects and note the space the gas has taken up...

Upper elementary meteorologists take a glance at what a hurricane is and how it is formed. Because this does not get into the differences in air pressure that drive the associated winds, it may not be useful for older learners. The...

Fifth graders create a Cartesian Diver model made from plastic soap bottle and medicine dropper.  For this incompressible liquid lesson, 5th graders experiment with jugs of water to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Boyle's Law and...

In this air science research worksheet, students read the sentence and then use a library or the Internet to find the answer and write it on the blue line. Students then write a short report about this topic: what is air pressing against...

Fifth graders complete a construction project.  In this pneumatic system lesson students study the basic hydraulic systems and construct their own project. 

Explain that today's project is that students will get groups create a survey to poll their classmates on what they do to stay healthy. The results will then be shown on a bar graph.Students brainstorm ways of keeping healthy and teacher...

Students are asked what do they recall about weather. They reasearch weather on the other planets of the solar system. Students work in groups and each group is assigned two planets. They create a display showing the weather on each...

Students observe and determine what their lung capcity is. They fill a two-liter bottle completely with water and place the cap back on. Students fill a dishpan half full of water. They place the cap-end of the bottle into the water in...

Students assess what a "target audience" is and how it can be manipulated. They identify characteristics that make up target audiences and check the peta2 Web site for tactics that exploit those characteristics. Acquiring how to spot...

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the Ideal Gas Equation site by clicking on the New Question button and responding to the question that is presented in the box. From there they determine the value of their answer and enter it...

In this Charles' Law worksheet, students respond to several short answer questions as they pertain to Charles' Law. they calculate the decrease in temperature when it is compressed a specific amount. Students also determine the volume...

In this air worksheet, students review the layers of the atmosphere and how the gases in the atmosphere effect living things. This worksheet has 1 fill in the blank, 2 problems to solve, and 10 short answer questions.

In this earth and beyond worksheet, students answer short answer questions about the atmosphere, the chemical compounds in Earth's atmosphere. Students visit different websites to conduct research of the discoveries of the scientist who...

Students read Blubber by Judy Blume. In this Blubber discussion lesson, students answer pre-, during, and post- reading of the novel to assist them with comprehension. Themes addressed are problem solving, perspectives, leadership, and...

Second graders point out symbols for high and low pressure that would be found on weather maps. They break into small groups and use a copy of the weather maps file to make observations about the maps and come up with an explanation of...

Fourth graders discover how barometers help to predict the weather. Using newspapers, they examine the weather forecast and determine the meaning of high and low as they pertain to pressure. After making cluster diagrams, 4th graders...

Students complete four activities that are about meteorology. The first activity is for them to explore weather maps. The second activity is for students to discover high-pressure and low-pressure air. The third activity is for them to...

Students predict and hypothesize the reasons for wind movement. After viewing a video, they describe the effects of a high and low pressure system and what makes the wind blow. In groups, they construct instruments that measure air...
