In this types of reactions worksheet, students balance 5 chemical equations and identify the type of reaction. They read 3 scenarios and identify the type of reaction going on in each situation.

Young scholars explore the recycling process. In this recycling instructional activity, students gain understanding of how garbage is disposed of. Young scholars makes lists of things that can be recycled. Students discuss how animals...

Wonderful for visual learners, this presentation provides images of 10's and 1's cubes, to reinforce the concept of subtraction. Learners practice along with the teacher as 10's and 1's cubes are scratched off.  

Introduce high schoolers to chemical reactions with this series of activities. In a little over an hour, scientists observe four gas-producing reactions: the combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, placing pasta in...

Fourth graders experiment with compost. In this Science lesson, 4th graders begin a worm compost as well as an outdoor compost. Students discuss decomposition.

Explore the chemistry behind the airbags that keep you safe in a collision. Using a simulation, your classes find the best gas to use to inflate an airbag. The simulation shows the time it takes to inflate to a maximum volume....

Scholars harness the power of microbes with an engaging activity that uses yeast to break down sugar in water. Multiple setups of the same experiment lets learners determine which temperature results in the fastest rate of...

Seventh graders participate in an experiment in which they calculate the time of decomposition of different materials. In groups, they fill bags with different materials and cover them in soil. After six months, they create a line graph...

Students design and conduct investigations that illustrate the process of decomposition. After a lecture/demo, students simulate the process of soil composting in the classroom. They closely chart the decomposition of their soil.

Students discuss what man-made and natural materials are visible in litter. Using a sample of litter, they review the concept of decomposition between the two types of materials. They examine the two samples once and a while and record...

Young scholars observe properties of items, determine time it takes for organic/inorganic items to decompose, identify differences/similarities between decomposition, identify practical uses in litter/garbage control, & establish...

Fourth graders swap local soil samples with another school and examine the differences. They research soil properties, identify organisms that live in soil, create and maintain a biome of soil decomposition and design a poster to present...

Students create a condition in an aquarium which allows the formation of coal. Students observe changes in decomposition and color of materials present in aquarium before a coal layer appears. Plant "fossil" imprints will be left behind.

Students read a paragraph describing various insects and decomposition rates, then fill in the table indicating when the three insects arrived or left the body. They write paragraphs explaining when the person died, and how they know.

In this subtraction worksheet, students learn how to solve decomposition subtraction problems with 2-digit numbers. They then solve 9 subtraction problems on their own. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

Students conduct an oxidation experiment in which they must determine how much hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is actually in a store-bought solution of H2O2.

Young scholars explore the composting process and participate in a contest to make the most compost the fastest from the school's kitchen and yard waste.

Learners explore the history of taxonomy, the work of Carl Linnaeus, and the factors involved in the decline and extinction of a variety of botanical species.

In this types of chemical reactions worksheet, students fill in 5 blanks with the proper type of chemical reaction described in the sentence. Students balance 5 equations and identify the type of chemical reaction for each equation.

In this fallacy instructional activity, students identify fallacies in a dialogue. Student find fallacies of composition and decomposition.

Learners identify the four main types of reactions: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. They explore the four main types of chemical reactions through an analogy of "Boy Meets Girl" and then "act out"...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students determine the half-life of a chemical compound for a decomposition reaction. Students determine the activation energy for the reverse of a reaction. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

Third graders study vermicomposting. In this vermicomposting lesson plan, 3rd graders prepare to begin a unit on decomposition by constructing a worm bin. Students collect worms to be used later in experiments.

This resource could come in handy the next time you feel like teaching about clay. Basic sculpting techniques, vocabulary, and history of clay are outlined in this informative resource. Use prior to teaching an art project involving...
