Learners investigate the concept of a thermodynamic system. The difference between a state and phase is defined as part of the experimental explanations given in writing. Students conduct experiments to demonstrate laws of science like...

In this rate law worksheet, students calculate the rate of reactions at specific temperatures with the given rate law for the reaction. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

Seventh graders are introduced to Newton's Third Law of Motion.  In this physics lesson students examine the concept of thrust as one of the forces acting on aircraft. 

Without wind, the weather man wouldn't have much to talk about! Blow away your junior meteorologists with a creative demonstration of how wind works. The activity uses an empty soda bottle and compressible Styrofoam peanuts to illustrate...

Airline mechanics must be precise, or the consequences could be deadly. Their target ranges alter with changes in temperature and pressure. When preparing an airplane for flight, you must read a maintenance graph. The second lesson of...

In this pressure and kinetic theory worksheet, students review Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases, and Graham's Law of Effusion. Students then solve 5 problems using these equations.

In this pressure worksheet, students read about Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, about vapor pressure and about collecting gases over water. They answer 6 questions using the concepts of Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure and they solve 4...

In this black hole worksheet, students read about the black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy called Sagittarius A and observe a Chandra image of the area where the black hole exists. Students solve two problems which include...

In this Grahams Law learning exercise, students determine which gas will escape faster when equal amounts of helium and argon are placed in a porous container and allowed to escape. Then they determine what the molecular weight of a gas...

Fourth graders read and discuss the sun and the energy we use on Earth from the sun. In this sun lesson plan, 4th graders discuss the solar system, planets, and answer short answer questions.

Discover the environmental and economic impact of global warming. After reading an article, emerging environmentalists identify how different countries are responding to the Kyoto Protocol. They research emission laws and write a news...

Water is the only molecule on Earth that can naturally exist in all three states of matter. The interactive simulation shows different molecules changing states of matter with the addition or removal of heat. Learners then see how...

Learners build a model rocket. In this model rocket lesson, students explore a rocket launch cycle. Learners investigate the laws of physics for each part of the launch. Students build model rockets and launch at school.

In this chemistry review worksheet, students review terms and concepts covered. Students practice metric conversions, factor labeling, temperature conversions, heat calculations, atomic structure, and gas laws. This worksheet has 3...

Balloons bring great fun to the classroom, until they break. What's a teacher to do then? Break out the balloon of the computer age with a fun interactive! Science scholars add and remove atoms from their virtual balloons and observe...

In this kinetics worksheet, students solve six problems mostly about reaction rates. Included is a problem where students calculate reaction rates of sucrose and water and plot the data of the reaction.

In this heat transfer and phase change worksheet, learners experiment with ice, salt, and milk to show the relationship between the temperature of a solution and its phase. Students turn milk from a liquid to a solid and graph the...

In this conservation of mass instructional activity, middle schoolers experiment with vinegar, baking soda, a balloon and a flask. They compare the mass of the closed system of reactants before the experiment to the mass of the products...

In this rate of reactions quiz, students solve three problems related to chemical reactions and their rates including rates of decay and rate constants.

Students conduct a series of activity that demonstrates Charles' and Boyle's Law. For this chemistry lesson, students determine the relationship among pressure, volume and temperature. They solve problems using mathematical equation.

How do you teach a student with visual impairments about the conservation of mass? You use tactile models that represent the theoretical concept. Baking soda and vinegar are used to add gas to a deflated balloon. Learners will feel the...
