In this weird water worksheet, students read for information and assess comprehension. In this true and false, fill in the blank, and multiple choice worksheet, students answer ten questions.

In this recognizing the water cycle cloze activity worksheet, students use the words in the word box to fill in the blanks about evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Students write 23 answers.

Middle schoolers investigate how ocean currents affect our world. In this ocean currents lesson, students perform an experiment to show how cold water is near the poles and warm water is near the equator. Middle schoolers use...

Young scholars will use water, cornstarch, eggs, and more to explore the different states of matter. They will make observations of an unknown substance called "Oobleck" and test its liquid and solid properties. This would be a great...

In this Land of No Trees worksheet, students read a passage titled "Land of No Trees" about the Arctic Tundra and complete an experiment and short answer questions about it. Students complete an experiment with a plastic container, soil,...

In this physical change worksheet, students will brainstorm types of physical change and will write down the cause and effect of each example in this graphic organizer.

Pupils watch a video on matter and identify examples of solids, liquids and gases in the classroom. They discuss the attributes for each kind of matter and conduct an experiment to explore how matter can change form.

Students explore the properties of ice. In this states of water activity, students examine the properties of icebergs and ice cubes as they participate in an activity that requires them to freeze a balloon half-filled with...

Fourth graders study physical and chemical weathering. They explain how the processes of weathering and erosion change and move materials that become soil. They create a K-W-L chart to show what they know and list what else they would...

Eighth graders examine the development of the different temperature scales. They experiment with hot and cold temperatures.

Ninth graders participate in classroom discussions, demonstrations and hands-on laboratory activities about pure substances and mixtures with a focus on common household materials. They investigate: What is a pure substance? What is a...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson plan, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students differentiate the different phases of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students conduct several hands-on exercises to discover how matter transforms when mixed together. They identify the different stages in the water cycle.

Students examine the effects of salt on ice. In this salt instructional activity, students observe what happens to the temperature of ice when salt is added, then make ice cream to see how this knowledge can be used.

Students explore what happens to the amount of different substances as they change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to solid.

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...

Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.

For this chemistry worksheet, 11th graders take a states of matter quiz by matching 10 terms to their definitions, decide if 10 statements are true or false, and answer 2 fill in the blank questions.

Students identify the contents of a glacier like those found in Patagonia. They construct a mini glacier model in class. Students compare and contrast the classroom model with Patagonian glaciers. They label specific parts of the...

Students examine molecules and the changes in energy of a system.  For this energy systems lesson students complete a lab activity and describe changes of state.

Fourth graders explore whether the making of homemade ice cream is a physical change or a chemical change in a lab experiment. Students identify states of matter, describe the physical properties of states, and collect temperature data...

Young scholars explore the concept of healthy treats. In this healthy food lesson plan, students read ingredients and create healthy Halloween treats.  Young scholars also practice the skill of congruent shapes by drawing healthy...

Students determine the differences between the crystallization of igneous and metamorphic rocks. They examine both liquid state and solid state crystallization.

Young scholars conduct an experiment where they will change a liquid dairy product into a solid. They review the definitions of liquids and solids. Students are given an example of each. They are divided into groups of four, each group...
