Students investigate chemical and physical changes. In this chemical and physical changes lesson plan, students distinguish between a chemical and physical change when observing baking bread and hot dogs and bagels cooking on a grill....

Students will record their food choices for one week, noting calories, protein and vitamin content of foods using a given USDA website. Students will discuss whole class the important of proper nutrition and its role, and what happens...

Students explore the role of the International Monetary fund.  In this secondary Economics lesson, students focus on the history, mission, and structure of the IMF.  Students examine the past and continuing contributions of the...

Eighth graders, in groups, explain the difference between physical and chemical changes.

Students participate in a small group read aloud of the short story, "Cerium" by Primo Levi. They answer several questions about the story and then relate the reading to a lecture on Kinetic theory. After the lecture they apply the...

Students investigate different liquids to develop their concept of a liquid. They work at a center to tip, swirl, shake, roll, and otherwise investigate seven liquids in small, clear plastic bottles: plain water, corn syrup, liquid...

In this properties worksheet, students compare and contrast physical properties and chemical properties. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Students study the properties of the physical and natural world. In this properties of the physical and natural world lesson, preschool students work at discovery tables to see how simple machines work, what happens when items are put...

Students explore how temperature and wind contribute to types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe an experiment in which ice, steam, and an electric fan are manipulated to produce results that simulate how fog and snow...

Learners investigate the properties of sweeteners. In this chemical property instructional activity, students examine the unique properties of sweeteners by performing several experiments. They will analyze the data to form a conclusion...

Students examine the relationship between water and ice. In this physics lesson, students read the book Amazing Water and participate in an experiment where they freeze water into ice cubes. Students observe the changes in the water when...

Students explore the forms of water. In this physics lesson, students use ice cubes and observe what happens when the ice melts. Students freeze the water again and record observations.

Students explore water. In this water lesson, students explore the physical properties and states of water. They observe how water changes states and document what they see.
