Learners use a pH indicator to measure the pH of some fruits, common beverages, and borax. Students discover how to differentiate between an object that is an acid or a base.

Students experiment, observe, measure, and analyze what occurs during an exothermic reaction. They safely design an experiment, control variables, and properly dispose of materials.

Fifth graders explore conductors and heat loss in different materials. In this Physical Science lesson plan, 5th graders will be measuring the temperature drop of water in four containers. The class will then discuss what an...

Students study the earth in relation to the solar system.  In this planetary lesson students complete several investigations into the measurement of the earth and its magnetic field.

Students investigate the scientific concept of why some objects float when put in a liquid solution. They apply the laws of motion and force while conducting classroom activities. Students also take notes and answer target questions to...

Students observe and record the apperacne of shadows and how their position and shpae changes during the course of the day. Students measure and record the length oof a partner's shadow at different intervals during the day. In pairs,...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Young scholars investigate the density of liquids. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and differentiate between volume, mass and density. They observe similarity and differences between coke and diet coke.

Pupils make a baking soda rocket out of vinegar, baking soda, and a soda bottle. In this rockets lesson plan, students discuss the liquid, solid, and gas combination.

In this metric measurement learning exercise, students convert units of liquid measure within the metric system. This one-page document contains 28 metric conversion problems.

Pupils explore water as it changes states of matter. In this physical property lesson, students use observation, measurement, and communication skills to describe changes in water as it goes from a solid to a liquid and back again.

Students observe the state changes in water. In this matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. Students explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid then back again. They journal their...

Middle schoolers observe how to measure in metric units.  In this investigative lesson students compare different units of volume to see how things are measured.

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Students predict what is going to happen using prior knowledge being prepared to alter a view when faced with new evidence. They then accurately measure and record liquid volumes realizing that liquids and granular solids have...

Eighth graders experiment with a number of dishwashing liquids to determine the duration of the bubbles. They graph the data, add glycerin to the dishsoap, and repeat the experiment. They graph and compare the data sets.

Students discover the differences between weather and climate in this long-term instructional activity introduction. They create rain gauges and practice reading rainfall measurements, view a website showing the cloud cover in their...

First graders make ice cream and determine what makes this liquid turn into a solid.

Second graders use knowledge of measurements and ratios to mix various combinations of liquid starch and glue. They chart their ratios, make observations, and write a summary of the activity. They mix their own batch of Crazy Putty to...

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 review properties of matter and discuss how materials change when things are done to them. They observe how materials change as a reaction to temperature by following the procedure to make ice cream and recording the temperature...
