In this density worksheet, students use different liquid densities to determine the order they would settle in if poured in a container together. Students review vocabulary terms associated with the density of matter. This worksheet has...

Students explore physical science by conducting an in-class experiment. In this density instructional activity, students define vocabulary terms dealing with physics and discuss their knowledge of density. Students conduct several "sink...

Students participate in a science experiment to understand that matter takes up space.  In this matter instructional activity, students experiment with solids, liquids and gases to recognize that matter is everywhere. Students make...

Eighth graders are actively involved in the scientific method and inquiry as they form quick hypotheses based upon a teacher set of mystery liquids. They determine the need to make additional observations of the liquids.

Students observe earth science by examining results from an experiment. In this buoyancy instructional activity, students practice floating different items in two different liquids and identify why certain objects will float and others...

Students investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density lesson, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Students analyze which items float and do not while...

Students explore physical science by participating in a science activity. In this liquids lesson, students discuss how fluids can be affected by motion unlike solids. Students define other scientific vocabulary terms and conduct a motion...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. For this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five...

Students investigate what matter is and how it changes states.  In this physical properties lesson, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter.  Students perform a...

Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...

High schoolers explore physical and chemical changes. In this chemistry lesson plan, students will go outside to observe changes seen in nature. High schoolers will then work in the lab to identify changes at different stations prior to...

Students compare and contrast conditions on Mars to those on our own planet, specifically, their local or regional environments. The physical characteristics, the atmosphere, and other astronomical data is considered.

Students design, build, and test the specifications (water displacement and load line) for a model boat. The activity focuses especially on integrating design principles with inquiry-based experimental skills.

Students discover the different forms of water on Earth. In this states of water lesson plan, students read material on the different forms of water and how they are created. The students answer written questions on worksheets.

Students explore physical science by participating in a class experiment. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss what they predict will happen when cooking oil and water are blended together. Students utilize a plastic bottle,...
