Eighth graders research a science related career that they may be interested in. They use their findings to create a pamphlet about the career and present them orally to the class.

Students identify hypotheses related to static electricity, to begin to test the hypotheses, to begin to develop conclusions related to observations, to demonstrate that like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other, to name...

Students explore electricity by creating an alarm. In this circuitry lesson, students analyze a diagram of a circuit based alarm which detects sunlight. Students utilize electrical equipment to recreate the circuit and practice using its...

Students study light and see what emits photons and that light can be separated onto a spectrum.  In this energy and matter lesson students identify gases using a spectrum chart. 

Students use experiments such as electron diffraction that show that particle have a wavelike nature. When they are fired through a thin slit, rather than scattering like hard spheres they interfere like waves. Students see that the...

In this atoms worksheet, learners review the parts of an atom, Bohr diagram, atomic number, mass number, and covalent bonds. This worksheet has 5 drawings and 26 fill in the blank questions.

Students perform an experiment in which they put different types of salts in a balloon, fill it with hydrogen gas, and ignite it. The electrons in the salt molecules are excited by the heat and release energy in the form of light. ...

Students are introduced to the topics of electric currents and resistance. In groups, they distinguish the difference between conventional and electron flows and state Ohm's Law for electrical components. They calculate the resistance of...

Students define technology and relate the definition to the production of electricity using nuclear energy. They also list the technologies involved and relate the use of these technologies to their effect on society in general, and...

Electrify your classroom as you lead pupils through a series of steps to demonstrate basic principles of electricity and magnetism. They design a simple circuit and test this for static electricity and current electricity. Next,...

A few definitions related to waves open this slide show. Note that the information only covers light waves even though the title mentions sound. Correct the title before using this resource. Another mention is a set of photos of a class...

I don't trust atoms because they make up everything. Budding scientists learn about famous scientists connected to atomic models, chemical, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. The presentation also presents how to count atoms...

Students conduct experiments with plants.  For this photosynthesis lesson, students examine plants under different types of lights.  They calculate the amount of dissolved ocygen concentration and compare it to the formula for...

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

Bacteria outnumber all other forms of life on Earth. Scholars observe the growth of bacteria in petri dishes to understand their role in maintaining good health. Then, they observe the growth of bacteria after they introduce...

In this light worksheet, students read what makes light, the speed of light, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Students complete 12 matching, 8 fill in the blank, and 9 word problems.

Why not review for that chemistry test with a little healthy classroom competition? With a fun and interactive Jeopardy-style game, you can adjust the number of teams, keep track of scores, and even make your own test if the provided...

Light a fire in your pupils! Scholars conduct a flame test and observe the emission spectra of several different salts in an enlightening hands-on investigation. They use their observations to make comparisons and conclusions about the...

Learners explore tesla coil through various experiments. In this physics lesson, students build their own tesla coils based on a given procedure. They discuss its real world applications.

In this science worksheet, students explore the learning outcomes for a unit on chemical reactions. Students define 60 vocabulary words and answer a list of questions for each topic.

In this glow-in-the-dark worksheet, students read about substances that phosphor and their characteristics. Students also read about photo luminescence and glow-in-the-dark toys. They answer 6 questions about the light emitted by...

In this bonding worksheet, students read about the two different types of chemical bonding: ionic and covalent bonds. Students review ion notation and oxidation numbers. This worksheet has 24 fill in the blank, 2 drawings, and 4 short...

In this bonding instructional activity, students read about the octet rule in bonding, ion notation, ionic bonds, covalent bonds and oxidation numbers. Students write 2 ion notations, they determine if 8 sets of ions will make compounds,...

In this light worksheet, students answer twenty six questions about sound and light and how they both travel. They also answer questions about different types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum such as radio waves, visible light,...
