Pupils conduct a number of experiments involving evaporation and condensation. They view and discuss a video about the water cycle and then design posters about the rain based on the book "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs".

Young scholars investigate evaporation and condensation, and apply the concepts to understanding cloud formation.

Students conduct experiments involving different parts of the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students conduct five simple experiments to demonstrate how the water cycle works. The results of each experiment is discussed as a...

In this chemical change worksheet, students review physical changes such as evaporation and condensation before working with chemical change. They conduct an experiment with vinegar and baking soda before recording the chemical changes...

Students explore the water cycle.  For this water cycle lesson, students experiment with a variety of activities to discover what happens during the water cycle.  Students create their own animated versions of the water cycle...

Students elicit data on the water cycle, ocean topography, and island formation in this six lesson unit. The ocean floor and the properties of water are examined through a variety of discussions and hands-on experiments.

There are three separate lessons within this resource that can be used together, or that can each stand alone. In the first, five simple activities allow junior scientists to examine the amazing properties of water. In the second, they...

Learners explore the water cycle.  Students identify the stages in a water cycle and create a PowerPoint presentation based on their knowledge.

Students study the Miller-Urey Experiment including its history and criticism.  In this origins of life lesson students repeat this experiment to see how it works.

This resource provides a short experiment for students to explore how clouds are formed.

In this cloud worksheet, students use a clear plastic bottle to simulate the process of cloud formation. They drop a lit match into the bottle that contains water and shake it to form condensed water or clouds. They answer questions...

Fourth graders study the water cycle and clouds. In this water cycle and cloud lesson, 4th graders determine the definition of condensation and watch a demonstration in which the teacher makes a cloud in a bottle. They discuss the water...

Students explore the weather system by analyzing water properties. In this precipitation lesson, students review weather related vocabulary terms and discuss how rainbows are created by light hitting droplets at the right time. Students...

Young scholars conduct an experiment. For this science lesson, students create their own fog. Young scholars observe the results.

Students relate the states of matter and clouds.  In this environment lesson, students create a chart of information they know about clouds.  Students put an ice cube in a bag and tape to a window. Students watch for...

Fifth graders investigate how clouds and fog are made of tiny droplets of water. They discuss how clouds and fog are formed, then conduct an experiment in which they observe what happens when an ice cube is placed on top of a bottle...

For this water cycle worksheet, students look up four words pertaining to the water cycle and write the definitions. Students hypothesize what will happen to the height of the water level in a bottle. Students record and draw...

What is a haibun? With this interesting instructional activity, writers will experience the Japanese writing form haibun, identify elements important to Japanese writing styles, analyze a haibun, and compose their own. Different from the...

Here's a hurricane lesson that's sure to catch your eye! Pupils learn about the unique balance of conditions required to form one of nature's most destructive forces. The interactive illustrates how hurricanes form, grow, and affect...

Students make an island that has a construction site on it. They spill siulated pollution and trash on top of the island and then water it to simulate rain. They will observe how the rain washes dirt, sand, and pollution off the island...

Discover the properties of water-loving and water-hating surfaces. In the seventh installment of a nine-part series, scholars explore hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces by conducting an experiment. They observe surface coatings,...

Eleventh graders research American culture of the Great Depression. In this role-playing lesson, groups of students develop "talking points" for their assigned topic and condense them into a Powerpoint or Hyper Studio presentation.

Learners characterize a physical change as something that changes to a different size, but retains its basic substance. They measure volumes using milliliters, and perform an experiment that proves that gases expand when hot and contract...
