Students investigate moles and measure out a mole by mass and volume. In this mole lesson plan, students observe demonstrations of quantities of substances that measure 1 mole. Students use a solid aluminum block and ruler to measure the...

In this plasma torus worksheet, students solve 5 problems including finding the dimensions of the Io torus, determining the formula for the volume of a torus, finding the actual volume of the Ion torus and finding the amount of sodium...

In this similarity instructional activity, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they complete the statement in the box shown. Then, students determine whether they agree or disagree with the statement and...

For this metric worksheet, learners read about the metric system and British system of measurement. They answer 58 questions about the metric system and convert from one unit of measurement to another.

For this SI units worksheet, students solve 6 problems including converting from one unit of measurement in the metric system to another, estimating the mass of objects, and using the density of a metal to find its volume given the mass.

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

In this sunspots and magnetic fields worksheet, students read about the satellite images taken showing 'loopy' patterns from solar gases and the magnetic fields on the sun. Students solve 2 problems including finding the volume of a...

Students investigate the properties of solids, liquids and gases. In this states of matter lesson plan, students observe dry ice and its characteristics. They calculate the density of dry ice and observe the sublimation of the dry ice...

Learners determine the heat of fusion of ice. In this heat of fusion lesson plan, students use a calorimeter to measure the molar heat of fusion of ice. Learners determine the heat required to melt one mole of ice using hot water and ice...

In this metrics worksheet, students read information about the metric system. Students review the concepts of prefixes, conversion ratios, and the decimal system. This worksheet has 17 matching, 31 fill in the blank, and 8 word problems.

Fourth graders explore unit conversions. They create visual models of measurement units, identify tables of equivalent units and make simple conversions with in a measurement system. Students produce charts that identify units of measure...

Students calculate the size of a molecule. In this molecules and their sizes lesson plan, students find the size of an oleic acid molecule by using a measured amount of drops of oleic acid to find the volume of the sample, the thickness...

In this density of pennies worksheet, student conduct an experiment to determine the metals used in the core of pennies made after 1983. High schoolers design their own experiments using a balance and graph paper to determine the density...

Students design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

Students investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the results...

For this electrochemistry worksheet, students solve 9 problems such as identifying masses of metals produced at cathodes, determining the potential of a cell's electrode and writing cell reactions along with their potential.

In this metric system worksheet, students solve five problems including filling in a chart with the metric system prefixes and their meanings, converting numbers to scientific notation and converting from one unit of measurement to another.

Students identify Sir Isaac Newton and his contribution to physics. They write Newton's three Laws of classical mechanics. and apply Newton's Laws to the world around them. They isolate a situation and apply Newton's Laws.

In this classification of matter learning exercise, students answer 15 questions about solids, liquids and gases, types of mixtures and compounds vs. elements. They also answer 2 questions about measurement and 1 question about a biome.
