Middle schoolers use the six step scientific method to experiment with the differences in adhesives. Students test for tack, shear, and peel in these activities.

Students review how physical and chemical change while discussing the properties. They diagram the electron dot for the first four elements in the periodic table. Students identify elements and state what they know while investigating...

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Learners explore the rationale behind the arrangement of the elements on the Periodic Table. Using internet and traditional research, students compare and contrast the properties of elements on the periodic table to determine a...

Students experiment with silly putty.  For this chemical changes lesson students work in groups, perform tests and collect data.

Students explore elasticity and describe the effects of temperature changes on physical properties.  In this rubber band stretch activity students complete an experimental activity and show their results. 

In this soil formation worksheet, students will review examples of chemical weathering and biological weathering. Students will also review the different soil layers and how they are created. This worksheet has 6 matching, 5 multiple...

In this matter worksheet, students are given 10 sentences with italicized terms that are wrong. Students correct the terms to appropriately fit the sentences. Topics are related to matter such as physical and chemical properties, solids,...

Young scholars describe characteristics and common uses of acids and bases. They describe the role of natural indicators in the chemistry of acids and bases after testing and making observations on a variety of plant extracts. Students...

In this thermodynamics worksheet, learners match terms to their definitions such as enthalpy, equilibrium, bond energy, and heat capacity. This worksheet has 20 words to match.

In this thermodynamics learning exercise, students review enthalpy, state functions, bond energy, and heat capacity. This learning exercise has 2 multiple choice, 6 matching, and 12 problems to solve.

Students determine the most appropriate site for a car wash, based on each site's soil characteristics (chemical, physical) and topographic features. They perform an experiment to determine the changes to three different soil types when...

Eighth graders explore the different types of nebulae that can be found in the solar system. They view a PowerPoint presentation about the material and identify each nebulae as it is presented. Students also discuss the life cycle of a...

Students study silicon and where it comes from.  In this solar mining lesson students complete an Internet search of mining and a lab activity. 

Students take a crushed rock and sort the remains of the rock minerals into different categories based on the different properties. In this sorting lesson plan, students learn what makes up a rock and how to sort something into categories.

Students study the change in land formations due to water erosion. They work in groups to build a model of a mountain that will be composed of materials that will best withstand water erosion.

Third graders explore animal characteristics by participating in a bat environment game. In this natural habitat lesson, 3rd graders identify the physical anatomy of a bat and discuss their eating and sleeping habits. Students conduct a...

Students investigate the biotic and abiotic factors that are found in an aquatic ecosystem. The emphasis is upon the investigation of present an projections of future water quality. Then students visit a local body of water to gather...

Seventh graders study the parts of corn and explore the role of starch.  In this corn products lesson plan students prepare a model of water and stones.

Students examine the electromagnetic spectrum and demonstrate the elements within.  In this investigative lesson plan students complete a demonstration and calculate the energy of a photon. 

Fourth graders examine the effects of waves as they erode coastal land. They discover how the power of water can change the appearance of land formations.

Small groups of students perform paper chromatography to separate food dyes into their component colors. Students perform the experiment and collect, organize, and represent their data to form an explanation of their outcomes. Students...
