Use recycled plastic to make shrinky dink jewelry and decorations.

This activity provides students with the opportunity to create a food package for a specific food. The students have three components to focus on in the design of their food package. The package will have to keep the food clean, protect...

Provides fun ideas for exploring how to transform ice using shapes, light, and color.

Demonstrate how calories are measured by building a calorimeter to measure the transfer of heat energy during a chemical or physical change. Test and record data on the calories in a peanut.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will compare theoretical yield to actual yield, and then investigate what happens when one reactant runs out before the other reactants are fully consumed....

In this activity, students investigate physical and chemical changes in the states of matter for water. They collect data and record their observations.

While diamonds are extremely hard and strong, they are not indestructible. Learn how diamonds can be burned, melted, or dissolved.

Students will use their prior knowledge about changes of matter including physical and chemical changes from the Houghton Mifflin science curriculum. Students will create a hypothesis to test the physical properties of materials such as...

In this lesson, students learn about physical and chemical changes during digestion through a variety of activities.

To understand how fossils are formed, students model the process of fossilization by making fossils using small toy figures and melted chocolate. They extend their knowledge to the many ways that engineers aid in the study of fossils,...

This activity introduces students to the complex chemistry of estuarine water. Students investigate how chemical and physical water quality factors-pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and salinity-change and interact over varying time...

Young scholars will use their prior knowledge about changes of matter including physical and chemical changes to examine and categorize various types of plastics (polymers). They will identify how their chemical properties allow them to...

In this lesson plan, students will move and generate choreography to understand different states of matter.
