An investigation into change of state where students prepare small bags of ingredients and shake them within a bag of ice and salt to see if they can make ice-cream. As they progress, they apply the scientific method.

During this lesson, students will practice observing, question writing, and answer generating based on taking part in experiments. Students will work with different substances to observe changes in liquids, solids, and gases.

This site provides a lesson plan using candy making to demonstrate physical and chemical changes in matter. Includes directions to make caramel and rock candy.

In this lesson plan learners learn how to use a thermometer and compare changes in temperature using water in the fridge and water in the freezer. Helps students create charts to analyze data.

A collection of science lessons where young scholars explore the characteristics of different materials and everyday objects and create their own objects and art. They study the properties of the materials that make them strong,...

Examine the link between molecular motion and energy. Observe the movement of a molecule at room temperature. Learn about the different types of molecular motion.

The Beatles' first visit to the United States was in 1964. Clever publicity agents arranged a meeting for the band with Cassius Clay. He was training for the bout that would make him heavyweight boxing champion. The result was a...

A lab experiment that shows students that different molecules melt in different ways. This lab also allows students to practice calculating and finding density, mass, and volume. Lesson plan includes lab handout for students.

Students use the EasyTemp temperature probe to determine temperature changes as different solid substances dissolve in water. They then develop and test a plan for making the best cold pack using three grams of one of the substances....

This site has a brief description of the differences in particles in a gas, liquid, and solid. Animated microscopic pictures demonstrate the molecular movement in each state. Information is then summarized in an easy-to-read chart.

Our pipes leak, air drafts push through our windows and walls, light bulbs create more heat than light, and every appliance we have stays plugged in all day long. Of course its our parents who pay the bills, so it doesn't matter. This is...
