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

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.

Second graders explore how seasonal weather patterns affect temperature and their lives.

Young scholars review what the heart does and why the muscles in the body need oxygen. As a class, they measure their pulse rate while they are resting and after they have jogged for three minutes. They are helped by their teacher to...

Fourth graders identify the characteristics of a simple physical change. They describe objects by the properties of the materials from which they are made. Students discuss the different states of matter and their distinct physical...

Students ask questions that can be investigated scientifically. They determine how to plan a fair test by changing one factor while keeping other factors the same, to use measurements to draw conclusions and use scientific knowledge to...

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

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...

Young scholars investigate basic engineering principles, road construction and material science through a unique and fun hands-on activity.

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

Students will observe the amount of water in an open container over time and also examine the amount of water in a closed container over time. They then will compare and contrast the sets.

Students examine the phases of the water cycle and water's different forms it can have. They work in groups to create pantomimes to illustrate the water cycle to their classmates.

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...

Middle schoolers (teachers) complete the activity, they should not come in contact with Alka-Seltzer. They comprehend that the density of a gas can be calculated from its mass and volume. Pupils calculate the volume of gas generated by...

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...

Students will use inquiry science to complete an investigation. They create hypotheses predicting the changes water undergoes in becoming ice and determine how much ice needs to be melted to create one 8 oz. glass of water.

Students explore the concept of titration. In this titration lesson, students observe acid and alkaline reacting. Students discuss pH factor, measuring acidity, neutrality, and alkalinity of liquids. Students put the pH of liquids on a...

Students explore the concept of the colligative property. Through experimentation, students lower the freezing point of a liquid in order to create a solid by using household ingredients to create ice cream.

Pupils identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers, balances,...

Students examine why some objects float while others do not. They place various objects in water to observe their floating capability. Students record the object, its weight, and if the object floated. They construct a graph plotting...

In this solvents pre-lab worksheet, students describe the difference between a polar and non-polar solvent and also the dangers associated with hexanes and iodine. This worksheet has 12 short answer questions.

Students explore the relationship between art and science through experimenting with color, design and recycled materials and creating their own art work.

Students study Avogadro's law and what it means in science.  In this gaseous instructional activity students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.
