Students complete a WebQuest. For this water cycle lesson, students investigate the cycle through a WebQuest activity. Students research the water cycle through Internet resources and create a documentary video of their process.

Students explore how various substances change from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a solid and how temperature, pressure and nature play an important role in this process. In this melting and freezing lesson,...

Students explore the states of water. In this physical science lesson, students use ice and dry ice to observe the changes in the state of matter. Students record the results.

Students study how clouds form, what different types there are and what rain is.  In this atmospheric lesson students make a cloud and create evaporation.

Eighth graders analyze questions posted on a large poster in the room and work in groups to record their response to the question on paper, rotating to the next question after two minutes have passed. They review the characteristics of...

Fifth graders examine the stages of the continuous water cycle that exists on Earth. They observe a water cycle model that is set up in the classroom and write descriptions of what they see. As a class, they discuss models of the water...

Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students simulate the water cycle by placing an ice cube in a Ziploc bag and observing the changes which occur over time. Students record the mass of the Ziploc bag and record...

Students investigate scientific concepts and inquire about physical states of matter. The transition of water is considered and is easy to facilitate because of its abundance and often observed physical changes.

Students are introduced to the terms related to the water cycle in their native language. In groups, they describe the steps of the cycle using different materials found in their art classroom. They describe how energy helps water...

Students explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.

Students study the process of evaporation.

Students understand that most substances may exist as solids, liquids, or gases depending on the temperature, pressure, and nature of that substance. This knowledge is critical to understanding that water in our world is constantly...

In this half-life learning exercise, students determine how much of the radioactive isotopes will remain after a certain amount of time. This learning exercise has 11 problems to solve.

In this thermochemistry worksheet, students calculate the enthalpy of vaporization as well as the write the thermochemical expression for the production of the chemical reaction.

In this idea gas worksheet, students review Dalton's law of partial pressures, vapor pressure, relative humidity, and dew point. Students answer 3 problems.

Young scholars explore means by which community arts might be supported. In this "community" social studies instructional activity, students research various local non-profit organizations. Young scholars role-play as members of the...

Students watch the teacher make a cloud. In this water cycle lesson plan, students discuss the water cycle and see the formation of a cloud. The teacher leads the discussion including the role of water vapor, smoke and air pressure.

Students examine the conditions necessary for cloud formation.  In this clouds lesson students complete an activity that shows them atmospheric pressure.

Students investigate nutrition by creating ice cream in class. In this cooking lesson, students define the ingredients in ice cream and discuss how they form together to create a delicious treat. Students utilize salt, ice, milk and...

Pupils participate in a demonstration to show the change of water vapor to a liquid. They discuss the three states of matter. They examine flash flood safety to end the lesson.

Students collaborate with a partner to create a large diagram containing one aspect of the water cycle. They are encouraged to include academic language and pictures for their presentation. Their is a peer evaluation sheet that is...

Students use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.

Learners review various scenarios in regards to the water cycle to determine what the best solution is to the problem. Students write their opinions on the controversies.

Middle schoolers comprehend that hot water rises up through cold water but cold water does not rixe in hot water. They comprehend that water at temperatures above 4oC decreases in density with increases in temperature. Students answer...
