Young people today have to be very careful with how they present themselves online. Show them the possible impact of their online activity and what employers might see when performing a basic search. The instructional activity provides a...

Young historians examine the work of Martin Luther King Jr. by reading and answering questions about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Albany Movement, the Birmingham and Chicago campaigns, and the Memphis Sanitation Worker's Strike....

How does one get credit, and who provides credit? What is a credit score, and how can an understanding of a credit score help you to make smart financial decisions? Through discussion and worksheets, class members will identify the...

Investigate light in space as it encounters a large mass of matter. Learners discover the idea of gravitational lensing through an interactive activity. They adjust the size and location of the mass to see the effect on the path of...

Students investigate if heat can change the form of matter. In this physics lesson plan, students use heat sources to observe the changes in an ice cube. Students graph which heat source changed the matter the fastest.

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.

Young scholars test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

In this matter worksheet, middle schoolers review the states of matter, including plasma. Students read about where plasma is found and then complete 3 short answer questions.

In this matter worksheet, students review the three forms of matter by reading a poem and completing 1 matching and 5 short answer questions.

Students explore solids, liquids, and gasses and categorize and describe the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students categorize items as solid, liquid, or gas based on the definitions given by the teacher. Students...

Students observe phase change of matter by making ice cream in bags. In this states of matter lesson, students work in pairs to churn their own ice cream in plastic bags. They make predictions about how long it will take for the milk to...

Learners analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Learners...

Fourth graders explore whether the making of homemade ice cream is a physical change or a chemical change in a lab experiment. Students identify states of matter, describe the physical properties of states, and collect temperature data...

Fourth graders explore physical changes. They discuss that physical change is a change in size, shape, or state of matter of a substance. Students explore what change takes place when two substances can dissolve each other. They observe...

Eighth graders participate in several science activities to note chemical or physical changes after discussion. They understand that all matter has definite structure which determines physical and chemical properties.

In this review of general science worksheet, students classify examples of matter as mixtures or substances, homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures, or elements or compounds. Students also convert several examples using the standard...

Students discover the properties of matter and how they change when composite materials are produced.  In this informative lesson students write up a question and procedure to an experiment then analyze and draw conclusions based on...

Eighth graders study the conservation of matter.  For this chemical reaction lesson students examine what happens during a chemical reaction and complete a lab activity. 

In this PowerPoint, students compete in a quiz show game similar to Jeopardy in which they generate questions to match science facts in a number of categories. Science concepts covered include plants, animals, and matter. Due to the vast...

Pupils confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Learners explore the concent of using the mole to solve problems related to counts small particles of matter. Students work individually and in groups to complete conversions of substances from moles to matter.

Students explain the implications of particle theory of The Law of Conservation of Matter for problems of pollution and waste disposal. They describe, in terms of atoms and molecules, what happens to materials when they are dissolved or...

Young scholars investigate the kinetic-molecular theory. In this state of matter instructional activity, students consider the differences of melting glaciers, melting icebergs and investigate on what happens when submerged water melts.

High schoolers demonstrate an understanding of the properties of matter by applying them to density, pressure, and temperature. The educational software program, "Foilsim" is used in this inquiry.
