Students investigate the pH of a liquid.  In this middle school mathematics/science instructional activity, students collect and analyze data regarding the pH of various liquids.  Students display their data in various types of...

In this thermochemistry activity, students answer questions based on the reaction of charcoal and liquid oxygen. Students write a balanced chemical equation, determine the limiting reagent, calculate the mass of each product, and amount...

In this periodic table worksheet, students create an advertisement for a chemical group or family they are assigned. They need to include topics such as are the elements solids, liquids or gases at room temperature, the history of the...

In this heating and cooling curve instructional activity, students use a given graph of a substance being heated from a solid to a liquid and then a gas over time. They use the graph to answer eleven questions about the phases of the...

Young scholars test various liquids and identify as acids or bases. In this chemistry and pH lesson, the students use purple cabbage indicator to test a variety of teacher-provided substances, then bring in liquids from home to test...

Students investigate density and salinity of water. In this density and salinity lesson plan, students find the density of objects and liquids and show the relationship between the salinity and density of water. Students add salt to...

Students investigate osmosis and diffusion in a liquid environment. In this osmosis lesson plan, students use dialysis tubing made into bags and filled with 3 different solutions. They observe the movement of water molecules into higher...

The best inventions come from a problem that needs to be solved! Given a container with holes in...

Students conduct an experiment. In this plants lesson, students conduct an experiment in order to understand how liquid passes through a plant. They use balloons suspended from the classroom ceiling.

Students examine the changing states of water. In this solid, liquid, gas lesson, students discover that water changes when heated or cooled. Students make predictions and then use the interactive whiteboard to "heat and...

Young scholars will use water, cornstarch, eggs, and more to explore the different states of matter. They will make observations of an unknown substance called "Oobleck" and test its liquid and solid properties. This would be a great...

Young scholars identify and explain these vocabulary words: vibration, volume, pitch, particles, tuning forks, waves and matter. They explain that sound travels through gas, liquid and solid. They be

Students exchange fake bodily fluids with other students. They track the spread of the "infection" throughout the population of students and determine where the infection began in the class. Every student in the class choose a test...

Students analyze the basic techniques used to find and produce oil. They also create a small project that allows them experiment with solutions to maximize the amount of colorless liquid produced from colored solutions.

Third graders read a thermometer with accuracy, record observations and data, and infer conceptual meaning. They integrate mathematical charting and graphing skills to organize their data. They explore what happens when they touch or use...

Students are able to make many differnt kinds of soaps. They are told that they must purchase a pre-made melt and pour soap base from a craft supplier, melt it, add soap colorants and fragrances and otherr additives as you like and...

In this density worksheet, learners answer 16 questions related to density. They read diagrams of graduated cylinders and determine the liquid's mass, volume and density. They find the density of objects and answer 3 questions about...

Young scholars use the scientific method to determine physical and chemical properties of unknown substances. In this scientific method lesson plan, students discuss chemical and physical properties of substances as a class after a...

Students experiment with objects of different densities. In this density lesson, students examine same-sized objects with different weights, then look at a teacher explanation of density. Students make wave bottles and a density jar to...

In this periodic table worksheet, high schoolers complete a crossword puzzle given 22 clues about elements in the periodic table, periodic law, properties of elements and atomic mass and number. Students also fill in a periodic table to...

Students research the mechanics of liquid chromatography. In this technology lesson, students calculate the concentration of unknown samples. They write a report about their research and lab results.

Students explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments familiar to the students. Students represent these movements in dance.

Students explore number sense applications and discuss strategies for multiplication and division using mental math. For cross-curricular purposes, they explore causes and effects of inequality and social injustice. Students explore...
