Second graders investigate how objects can be described, classified and compared by their composition. They recognize that the same material can exist in different states. Students verify that things can be done to materials to change...

Students examine and discuss how atoms change from solid to liquid to gas. They inflate a balloon by melting ice that converts to steam, and discuss the results.

Students investigate how information about the atom has been determined. In this atomic structure lesson, students draw what they think an atom looks like. They conduct Internet research about the types of atomic models and how...

Second graders learn the proper way to take measurements, explore the properties of objects and expand their vocabulary.

Students observe and demonstrate how objects can be charged positively and negatively and how static electricity works. They observe a teacher-led demonstration, and in small groups rotate through various static electricity activities,...

Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

Students investigate matter.  In this matter lesson, students identify types of matter and characteristics of each type.   Students discuss matter and create matter posters to show understanding.

Learners categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Students make group decisions about matter as they explore and interpret many types.

Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

Fifth graders explore the phases of matter, make observations of matter, the physical and chemical properties of matter, solutions and mixtures, formation of molecules and atoms and molecules all through hands on activities.

Seventh graders explore the the constituents and properties of matter. They use the scientific process while exploring solids, liquids, gases, the mass, volume and density of matter. Students plan and conduct an investigation to measure...

In this science learning exercise, students keep a running list of everything surrounding them that is matter and then categorize each item by listing what state of matter each one is in.

Learners classify items according to their physical properties. For this chemistry lesson, students define what matter is in their own words. They use the matter diagram to organize different substances.

In this matter worksheet, students answer 6 questions about matter. Students distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, they identify elements and compounds and they distinguish between pure substances and mixtures.

In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 6 questions related to matter. They classify and categorize given statements as chemical or physical properties, they identify chemical and physical changes and they find the...

For this states of matter worksheet, students fill in the blanks using the terms evaporation or condensation for 4 statements. They match vaporization, condensation, evaporation and boiling to their definitions. They fill in 8 blanks...

In this states of matter worksheet, students will brainstorm and write down facts about solids, liquids, and gases in a graphic organizer.

In this matter and energy worksheet, students identify substances as solids, liquids or gases, they use the kinetic theory to describe the motion of particles and they explain the conservation of mass and energy when a substance changes...

Here is part one of a two-part lesson in which scholars investigate the changing states of water—liquid, solid, and gas. With grand conversation and up to three demonstrations, learners make predictions about what they think will happen...

Here is part two of a two-part lesson in which scholars investigate the changing states of water—liquid, solid, and gas—and how energy from heat changes its molecules. With grand conversation, two demonstrations, and one hands-on...

Students explore the sense of touch. They investigate unknown solids using the sense of touch. Pupils use their senses of touch to match feely gloves. Students explore body parts, by tracing their hands and feet on paper. They create a...

In this solutions, suspensions and colloids worksheet, students use diagrams to show how particles are different in each of these mixtures. They also distinguish between characteristics of each of these types of mixtures and categorize...

Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...
