Students examine the similarities and differences between weathering and erosion. They participate in a lab in which they test the effects of different materials when exposed to weathering and erosion. They record their observations.

Bring A Charlie Brown Christmas to social studies, language arts, math, science, and art class! Learners ponder the meaning of Christmas trees, write about Christmas during the original release of the television special,...

Students participate in a laboratory investigation in which they observe the effect of temperature and pH on enzyme activity. Students also examine exposure to heavy metal ions and the effect that may have on enzyme activity.

In this atomic fingerprint worksheet, students read about the Bohr model and electrons changing energy levels and emitting energy. They answer questions about the atomic spectrum and the fingerprints for specific atoms.

Seventh graders distinguish between physical and chemical changes in both natural and technological settings. They identify the reactants and products for a given chemical reaction. they then write simple chemical equations given the...

Students apply their comprehension of colligative properties to real-world situations. They review the concepts of physical and chemical changes. Students are reminded that science is used extensively in food-production. They are...

Fifth graders explore American colonial life. In this interdisciplinary history and science lesson, 5th graders participate in several hands-on activities that require them to make colonial products that involve physical or chemical...

Middle schoolers weigh out the proper amount of silver nitrate and prepare the silver nitrate solution. They observe what occurs when pure copper is added to silver nitrate solution. Pupils determine whether the change in the appearance...

Students analyze the causes of corrosion. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate what is necessary to cause chemical changes in matter. Students discover the causes of rust and tooth decay.

Middle schoolers show the relationship between the need for plants to undergo photosynthesis in order to generate oxygen. They see the flaws associated with this thinking because of the lack of CO2 and H2O and lack of sufficient gravity...

Through a PowerPoint presentation and the embedded animation and video, earth science enthusiasts find out about the moisture in the soil beneath our feet. In the animation, follow a water molecule on its path through the water cycle. As...

In this matter properties worksheet, students complete a Venn diagram by comparing and contrasting physical and chemical properties.

Second graders investigate chemical changes and reactions and will identify four characteristics that indicate a chemical change. In this chemical change lesson plan, 2nd graders perform experiments that promote chemical changes. They...

In this chemistry science worksheet, students identify the parts of a chemical reactions. Students name the major particles of the atom. Students apply knowledge about the atom, theories, and models.

Third graders explore forms of matter through reading, hands-on science activities, and research using the Internet. Students create a booklet, directions given, that they title and decorate, to later serve as a review visualization...

Students examine different types of chemical reactions. They explore how alcohol molecules affect the reaction rates. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.

In this science learning exercise, students explore the learning outcomes for a unit on chemical reactions. Students define 60 vocabulary words and answer a list of questions for each topic.

A 30-question multiple choice chemistry test challenges takers. Topics touched upon include thermochemistry, equilibrium, behavior of gases, and pH. Problem solving is required in order to answer most of the questions. Other questions...

Fifth graders explore the phases of matter, make observations of matter, the physical and chemical properties of matter, solutions and mixtures, formation of molecules and atoms and molecules all through hands on activities.

In this physical science exploration, small groups place a piece of antacid tablet into a film canister and step back to time how long it takes for the top to pop. They repeat the activity, altering either the amount or temperature of...

Students compare and contrast exothermic and endothermic reactions. In this chemistry lesson plan, students perform experiments to determine whether heat was released or absorbed in a reaction. They share their observations in class.

Why do rocks break down over time? Learners explore this concept by simulating physical and chemical weathering of different types of rocks. They use an abrasive to demonstrate physical weathering and acid to demonstrate chemical...

We all know limestone weathers, but what affects the rate of weathering? Young scientists investigate the physical and chemical weathering of limestone (chalk) through experimentation. First, they conduct trials with different-size...
