Second graders explore states of matter when they change a liquid to a solid. Working students make ice cream in a zip-lock bag.

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Seventh graders examine the functions and roles of membranes in cells. They discover the differences between plant and animal cells.

Sixth graders analyze and compare a cell's tissues, organs and organ systems. They watch a video reviewing the body systems and design poster boards showing their functions.

In this anions worksheet, students are given a table showing nine anions, the test that indicates the presence of each anion, and what will be observed when each substance is added to the anion.

Students explain that photosynthesis is a process that plants use to convert light energy into glucose. They summarize photosynthesis as a chemical process in which the plant uses carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen.

Young scholars observe an experiment using common household chemicals to simulate a volcanic eruption. In small cups, they follow the teacher's instructions to make their own volcanoes. After watching a Brain-pop video, students complete...

Students use books and an art activity to study the stages of a frog's life cycle. After listening to a book about frogs, students engage in a fun art activity. When finished, students work is displayed as a pond on the bulletin board.

Students investigate the life cycle of a frog. In this biology lesson, students read the book From Tadpole to Frog and use templates to identify the stages of the frog life cycle. Students draw the life cycle of the frog on construction...

Students work on The Six Solution Problem, which is a logic problem assuming that the student knows some basic reactions and solubility rules.

For this static electricity worksheet, middle schoolers use balloons, flannel cloths, and a plastic bag to create static electricity. Students then fill out 3 tables and answer 3 short answer questions.

Young scholars investigate the basic needs of organisms that must be met in order to carry out life processes. They view a variety of organism that are meeting and competing for resources. Students create an Idea Web for the animals...

Students observe chemical reactions using post-1982 pennies. They observe the reaction of an acid with zinc but not copper under the same conditions over a two week period.

High schoolers explore the relationship between pressure and vessel diameter. They are given an open-ended design challenge in which they engineer their own remote repair device. Students see a model that represents how elevated blood...

Students study the difference between physical and chemical properties. They also discuss changes in matter, known as physical and chemical changes. They observe and discuss several demonstrations of both physical and chemical changes

In this eczema worksheet, students read and determine if 10 facts about eczema are true or false. Students put a tick in each box if they think the fact is right and a cross for each one they think is wrong.

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students answer follow up questions to a lab where they were observing chemical changes in reactions after mixing products such as hydrochloric acid and sodium bicarbonate. They answer six questions...

In this classification of changes worksheet, learners identify each example as either chemical or physical changes. Students also classify other examples as either element, compound, solution, colloid, or suspensions. In the other...

Sixth graders explore chemical and physical changes. In this lesson about chemical changes, 6th graders observe various items and changes that occur at certain times. Students determine what change took place and observe the change....

Young scholars create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Young scholars then put them all together to form one plant or animal...

Learners match definitions with vocabulary words and learn basic facts about matter. Then, they see how to determine the physical characteristics of matter. They determine the mass, volume, and density of objects using appropriate tools...

Fifth graders are introduced to the concepts of weathering and erosion. In groups, they rotate between different stations to discover how each process effects different landforms. To end the activity, they discuss each change in the...

Students observe osmosis, a cellular process that normally can't be observed without a microscope, and use scientific method to observe osmosis in a chicken egg.

Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.
