Students read an article and answer questions.  For this jet lesson students rank the problems facing our nation in order from most to least difficult to solve. 

In this science worksheet, students review the concepts that were previously covered related to weather fronts and other types of systems.

Students explore the causes of differences in density. Students choose objects, measure the mass and volume, and calculate the density of each. They perform additional density experiments to model atoms and their correspondence to...

Students participate in a lab to verify Boyle's Law using applied force (weight) to do work on a closed isolated system of air. "Elasticity of Gases Apparatus, BASIX" from Sargent-Welch is the syringe apparatus used to measure volume...

In this math instructional activity, students find how a 1 kg bucket filled with 10 kg of water is lifted 10 m into the air. They set up an integral which gives the total amount of work done on the bucket and the water used for lifting it.

Third graders define matter as anything that takes up space and has mass, recognize, through experimentation and observation, that matter exists in three forms, including solid, liquid, and gas, and discuss characteristics of each form...

Students explore what causes differences in density. They observe an models depecting atoms, compounds, and molecules. Students determine if there is air in between atomic bonds. They study the structure and spacing of molecular bonds.

Students explore models of density; wooden balls and marbles discussing whether they think the volume and mass are the same or different. They then compare the density of a loaf of bread that is squished and one that is not compressed.

In this gas laws activity, students calculate volume, pressure, or mass for given gas reactions. Students calculate partial pressures for given gases. This activity has 17 problems to solve.

Students gain an introduction to gestural line drawing along with art history correlations. They are encouraged to focus on the energy, mass, and expression of the subject rather than on illustrated replication.

Young scholars discuss the proper clothing for the season. They make wind chimes to use as an indicator of movement of the air and observe and identify the various cloud formations. They determine the basic rules of storm safety and...

Students examine ocean currents. In this investigative instructional activity, students examine ocean currents and the relationship between the ocean, our atmosphere, and the weather. They will create a model of an ocean current.

For this earth science worksheet, students answer 85 multiple-choice and short-answer questions on various earth science concepts.

Young scholars, in groups, design a procedure to calculate the mass of gas molecules in the classroom by measuring the volume of the classroom and researching the density of air. They apply changes in air density with altitude and...

Students discuss the each of the following objects/substances in terms of what contributes to their density: 1) a piece of copper; 2) a piece of bread; 3) steam in the air. They evaluate the causes in the various densities of substances.

Students comprehend that the Cartesian diver is a dropper and the water and air inside it. They vary the volume of the air and the amount of water, the diver can be made to be either more or less dense than water. Pupils squeeze the...

Fifth graders design their own hot air balloon. In this science activity, 5th graders investigate how factors like weight and sizes affect a balloon's lifting power. They also write math problems based on facts written in the...

Students discover the science behind a tennis racket by looking at a simple toy that works in a similar way. After looking at the related mathematical equations, students experiment with the simple toy to find the spring constant k by...

Students experiment with the bounce of balls on various surfaces. For this physics lesson, students use various surfaces to bounce balls to study the momentum. This hands-on activity with the concepts of elasticity of surfaces which is...

First graders understand that gases take up space even though you can't see or smell it. This is done through many experiments like trapping air in different sized bags, using balloons and plastic bottles, and blowing bubbles. They...

Third graders experiment with beakers of water and balloons to measure the volume of the gas in the balloon. They determine ways to change the volume of air in the balloon which changes its size but not its physical state. By heating the...

Students compare the radio to other forms of mass communication. In this Radio Broadcasting Before Television lesson, students learn the different types of radio shows in the 1920s and 30s. Students write and perform radio scripts...

Should the game go on or not? An engaging instructional activity asks small groups to make a decision using weather data. After analyzing a map, an updated forecast, and radar information, groups have to decide whether to cancel a...

Students learn about the causes and properties of tornados. Students create a simulation of a tornado and observe its characteristics.
