Young scholars explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter lesson, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Young scholars experiment with heating objects such...

Using the resource is probably the most efficient way to learn about efficiency. The 18th installment of a 25-part Energy Systems and Solutions unit has pupils investigate energy efficiency through discussions and associated activities....

The process of fire requires oxygen, heat, and fuel. Take one of those away, and fire ceases to exist. That's the idea behind this worksheet which portrays a candle burning inside an upside down jar. Pupils answer a couple of questions...

Students construct their own lava lamp using simple substances. In this physics lesson, students explain how difference in density causes convection. They solve for forces and buoyancy using mathematical equations.

Students work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...

Learners construct a thermograph for maximum and minimum temperatures for the 2-week period. They illustrate how the earth's atmosphere is heated by convection and conduction currents and evaporation of water.

Help learners determine the rate of change for the temperature of sand. They will collect data on the temperature of wet and dry sand over time with a heat lamp overhead. Then make a scatter plot of the data and find a linear model to...

Students investigate Newton’s Law of Cooling.  In this Algebra II/ Pre-Calculus instructional activity, students explore exponential regression as they conduct an experiment to simulate the temperature variations that occur as a...

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

Learners create an abstract, non-objective paintings. Students use the various lesson plans to create abstract paintings that include an art with text instructional activity, a sand textured paint instructional activity, and a radiating...
