In this chemistry element worksheet, 7th graders complete three pages of activities that help them learn about solid, liquid, and gas forms.

Fifth graders create a Cartesian Diver model made from plastic soap bottle and medicine dropper.  In this incompressible liquid lesson, 5th graders experiment with jugs of water to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Boyle's Law and...

Students identify and categorize states of matter. In this states of matter lesson, students study the pictures and sort them as liquids and solids.

A hands-on experiment applies chromatography to separate both the colors and components of grape-flavored Kool-Aid. Performing two separate activities, learners first use chromatography to divide the colors. The second activity results...

In this density worksheet, students use different liquid densities to determine the order they would settle in if poured in a container together. Students review vocabulary terms associated with the density of matter. This worksheet has...

Students explore matter by conducting an in class demonstration. In this liquid mixture lesson, students identify the difference between a solution in which a solid dissolves into liquid, and a suspension where the solid doesn't dissolve...

Learners explore how various substances change from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a solid and how temperature, pressure and nature play an important role in this process. In this melting and freezing...

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  In this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

Students investigate what matter is and how it changes states.  In this physical properties lesson, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter.  Students perform a...

Students 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. Students experiment with heating objects such as butter and...

In this properties of water worksheet, students explore the surface tension and cohesion properties of water compared to other liquids in a 2 part experiment.

Students calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar.  In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...

In this liquid measuring worksheet, students answer 18 questions about measuring liquid using ml, cl and litres. Question 3 asks students to answer questions in their "Exercise Books", which are not provided. Students can click on the...

First graders explore the properties of matter. In this states of matter lesson, 1st graders conduct scientific investigations that require them to mix, cool, and heat objects in order to observe changes in the properties of matter.

In this liquids and gases worksheet, students will review the basic characteristics of water including surface tension and evaporation. This worksheet has 1 fill in the blank and 6 short answer questions.

In this units of capacity worksheet, students read the word problems and solve the problems finding the metric units of capacity for each. In the 'use data' problem, students use the recipe to help them solve the problem.

Upper graders convert liters and milliliters, choose the better estimates of capacity for objects, and choose the better unit to measure capacity. They solve eleven problems.

Through three activities, first-time physical scientists wonder at the properties of water. Freeze some soda cans and a container of water prior to the investigation to show that water expands when frozen. Lab groups experiement with...

Little chemists address whether or not you can get sugar back out of tea after it has dissolved. The PowerPoint itself simply walks them through the questioning process, considering different possibilities. The final slide settles on...

After reading a short paragraph about certain materials and their ability to repel water, learners answer two questions regarding a variety of materials' ability to repel water. There are six different substances placed in bowls of...

We know solids have a density we can measure, but what about liquids? Lesson explores this concept and allows scholars to explore the relationship between volume and density. Graphing and analysis questions round out the activity. 

Physical science investigators mix sugar and food coloring into different cups of water and cooking oil to compare how the solid and liquid behave in each. As the introduction to this unit on dissolving, it is relevant.

Did you know that if you wait long enough, the M on the outside of an M and M will float to the surface when submerged in water? Learners observe the sugar coating of an M and M while it is dissolving in water. They explain how this...

Looking for a terrific chemistry lesson for your 5th graders? This one could be for you! After a teacher-led demonstration, learners are broken up into groups and perform an experiment using cabbage juice, water, window cleaner, and...
