In this solubility and intermolecular force learning exercise, students are given 26 clues about forces between molecules such as hydrogen bonds and London forces and about solubility of solutions.

Students explore materials and their properties. In this matter lesson, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of what was...

In this gases worksheet, students review the 3 states of matter, the types of molecular motion, and the characteristics of gases. This worksheet has 30 problems to solve.

Students differentiate the three states of matter. For this chemistry lesson, students analyze graphs of heating and cooling curve of water. They complete a lab report and discuss results.

Students examine and discuss how water changes from a liquid to a solid to a gas. They explore this concept by having an ice cube race, competing to see which group can change the solid water back into liquid water first.

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.

Second graders examine the properties of liquids and their classifications. They compare and contrast cups of different liquids and record their findings in journals. Students observe how liquids flow at various speeds and that unlike...

In this matter worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in 1 thing that causes a physical change in matter and 3 effects this has on matter.

In this matter worksheet, students write down 3 causes and effects of physical changes in matter. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

For this matter worksheet, learners review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.

Students engage in scientifically oriented questions. They give priority to evidence, draw conclusions/formulate explanations and connect/evaluate explanations with scientific knowledge. Students communicate and justify proposed...

Students investigate the concept of elements and atoms. They conduct research using a variety of resources and use the information in order to create a class presentation. The instructional activity includes specific dialogue and steps...

Students explore the states of water. In this water states lesson, students observe ice over time and the changes that take place. Students read a related text and draw their observations in a journal entry. Students discuss the...

In this unit of lessons, students examine solid waste and recycling. They discover the concept of decomposition. They also observe the decomposition process and make observatins.

Students explore water. In this water cycle lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires build a terrarium models of the earth. Students record their observations of the changes regarding water in the terrarium.

In this heat worksheet, students determine the heat gained or lost when matter changes phases. Students review the energy flow through ecosystems by comparing trophic levels and food webs. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 5 short...

In this theromochemistry worksheet, students review the kinetic theory of gases and the three phases of a substance. Students calculate how much heat is required to raise a certain mass of solution a certain number of degrees. This...

Several slides compare different temperature scales. Thermal expansion, heat transfer, and Maxwell speed distribution are also explored. The last two slides seem unrelated to the topic of heat, but are easily left out of this otherwise...

Complete a unit of lessons on hearing and sound. Learners conduct sound experiments, research the history of the telephone and scientific contributions of Alexander Graham Bell, and create a model of the human ear.

Student teams use a digital camcorder and iMovie to create a commercial about an element. They also use the Internet and their textbook to gather the following information about their element: the name, the symbol, the atomic number, the...

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...

Learners explore physical science by participating in a science activity. In this liquids lesson, students discuss how fluids can be affected by motion unlike solids. Learners define other scientific vocabulary terms and conduct a motion...

Fourth graders experiment with the viscosity of different liquids. They use a stopwatch to time the a steel ball as it drops through different liquids.

Students are introduced to the processes of evaporation and condensation as they observe physical changes in water. They observe how matter changes from a solid to a liquid state. Students are explained that steam is water in its gaseous...
