Students discover the different forms of water on Earth. In this states of water lesson, students read material on the different forms of water and how they are created. The students answer written questions on worksheets.

Students explore physical science by conducting an in-class experiment. In this density lesson plan, students define vocabulary terms dealing with physics and discuss their knowledge of density. Students conduct several "sink or float"...

Eighth graders are actively involved in the scientific method and inquiry as they form quick hypotheses based upon a teacher set of mystery liquids. They determine the need to make additional observations of the liquids.

Students explore physical science by participating in a class experiment. In this chemistry activity, students discuss what they predict will happen when cooking oil and water are blended together. Students utilize a plastic bottle,...

Students investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density lesson, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Students analyze which items float and do not while...

Students observe earth science by examining results from an experiment. For this buoyancy lesson, students practice floating different items in two different liquids and identify why certain objects will float and others sink. Students...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five days...

Students design, build, and test the specifications (water displacement and load line) for a model boat. The lesson focuses especially on integrating design principles with inquiry-based experimental skills.

Students compare and contrast conditions on Mars to those on our own planet, specifically, their local or regional environments. The physical characteristics, the atmosphere, and other astronomical data is considered.
