Miniature Water Cycles
Students construct a model of the water cycle in action using two-liter pop bottles to build a terrarium. Locate examples of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle (e.g., water evaporates when heated and clouds or dew forms when...
Curated OER
Blood Pressure and Heart Disease
Students explore the major causes of heat attacks as the topics of the human circulatory system, blood pressure, heart disease, arteries and veins are examined. Opinions on the topics are developed as researched material is presented to...
Curated OER
Scale Factors for Areas and Volumes
Students examine mathematical questions. They examine how to tackle mathematical questions and discover the effect of a change in length on area and volume. They examine the consequences of the physical properties sea animals on heat...
Curated OER
Changes In Matter, "The Big Chill"
Third graders investigate why ice cream does not go through any chemical changes when it is exposed to physical changes. They describe the three states of matter in either written or verbal form. Then students experiment with ice cream...
Curated OER
Some Like It Hot, Some Like It Cold
Students are explained that thermophiles are organisms that have optimal growth temperatures above 50oC. They investigate the temperature ranges for the growth of common bacteria. Students answer the question of do either of these...
Curated OER
Convection in a Pan
Students watch a demonstration using a plastic bag and a hair dryer to create a hot air balloon. After the demonstration, they discuss the results and whether or not hot water behaves the in the same manner as hot air. They conduct...
Curated OER
Gay-Lussac's Law
In this Gay-Lussac's Law worksheet, students determine the pressure change when a constant volume of gas is heated. Then they identify what the pressure is at standard temperature. Students also determine and calculate the final pressure...
Curated OER
Enthalpy
In this enthalpy worksheet, students use the bond energy to calculate the change in heat for the reaction. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Changing State
Students investigate the cooling and heating of water. In this online science experiment lesson, students work in groups to make predictions regarding freezing and boiling points and then test those predictions as they complete the...
Curated OER
Angle of Sunlight Lab
In this sunlight instructional activity, students use a flashlight to simulate the angles sun shines. They shine the light on a graph at various angles and trace the lighted areas. They answer questions about the differences in the...

Build a Pizza Box Solar Oven
Students build a solar oven. In this solar energy lesson plan, students follow directions that show them how to build a solar oven made from a pizza box that can heat up food.
Curated OER
Seasons on Earth
Students examine how seasons occur and explore how the different angles effect surface heating. In this climate lesson students interpret satellite maps of the world that show seasonal differences in plant life.
Curated OER
Solid Water
Students turn solid water (ice) into liquid water. In this solid and liquid water lesson plan, students use water, ice, cups, and heat in order to change water from one state to another. They draw their findings as well.
Curated OER
Rain Formation
First graders investigate the different water formations by conducting an experiment. In this water properties lesson, 1st graders examine jars filled with ice, rain water, air and snow in their class. Students predict what will happen...
