Young scholars explore solubility of gases in water, Henry's Law, LeChatelier's Principal, and supersaturation of gases in water.

Students discover simple gas laws by observing an egg sucked into an Erlenmeyer flask. When the flask is warmed, the egg is placed atop it. when both are placed in ice water, the egg slips into the flask. The procedure is then reversed....

Middle schoolers engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the concept of a simple machine and uses the law of motion to justify why they operate. Students explore the laws by constructing some simple machines to...

Students build and evaluate simple models to understand the greenhouse effect. They explore the role of increased greenhouse gas concentration in global warming, and the implications of global warming theory for engineers, themselves...

In this conserving fuel worksheet, 7th graders solve and complete 4 different word problems that include measurement and total cost of products. First, the determine the gas station described that has the lowest price of gasoline. Then,...

Students examine the conflict in Darfur. In this global studies activity, students listen to their instructor present a lecture about how history, geopolitics, and international law have contributed to the conflict....

Students study the parts of the human respiratory system while examining the gas exchange that takes place in the lungs. They make a model lung. They look at how the respiratory system is affected by spaceflight.

Students construct their own rocket-powered boat called an "aqua-thruster." These aqua-thrusters will be made from a film canister and will use carbon dioxide gas - produced from a chemical reaction between an antacid tablet and water -...

Check out the handout from a presentation that contains a collection of high school algebra projects connecting a variety of mathematics to the real world. Activities range from simple probabilities to calculus. The activities...

Almost every teen wants a car, but can they really afford one? The lesson walks pupils through how to identify a budget, find all of the costs associated with car ownership, and determine if they should buy the car or keep looking.

Students describe how cosmic rays achieve high kinetic energy via conservation of momentum.

Learners work together to design and build a paper rocket. They place a propellant in the contraption to make it fly. They discover Newton's third law of motion.

Students explain the implications of particle theory of The Law of Conservation of Matter for problems of pollution and waste disposal. They describe, in terms of atoms and molecules, what happens to materials when they are dissolved or...

Students identify he phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and why they take place. They comprehend what a physical change is and what a chemical change is. Students know the difference between a Mixture and a Solution.

Students define several laws of pressure and see how they relate to scuba diving.  For this ocean explorer lesson students answer questions and complete an activity. 

Students research and promote one local action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their community through an integrated unit project. Students evaluate possible ways to reduce emissions and review major and local contributing factors....

In this Earth's atmosphere worksheet, students use the chart shown to determine which information is given for each gas. Then they write the names of the layers of the Earth's atmosphere and describe which layer the temperature rises and...

In this matter worksheet, students will categorize and classify different types of matter as either a solid, liquid, or gas. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this physical world instructional activity, students review concepts relating to the chemical and physical properties of matter, density of matter, and if matter is a solid, liquid, or gas. This instructional activity has 9 terms in a...

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a paragraph containing facts about the periodic table by filling in 18 terms from a word list.

In this heat worksheet, students determine the heat gained or lost when matter changes phases. Students review the energy flow through ecosystems by comparing trophic levels and food webs. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 5 short...

In this elements instructional activity, students determine the electron configuration, orbital diagram for the highest sublevel, and the number of unpaired electrons in ground state atom for the given elements. This instructional...

Young scholars explore the different types of balloons.  In this materials lesson students can complete several experiments including building their own hot air balloons, making balloon animals and experimenting with static...

Students explore how sound waves move through liquids, solids and gases in a series of simple sound energy experiments. They describe how sound needs molecules to move and that changing the medium that it travels through changes the...
