Students watch a demonstration using a plastic bag and a hair dryer to create a hot air balloon. After the demonstration, they discuss the results and whether or not hot water behaves the in the same manner as hot air. They conduct...

First graders investigate the different water formations by conducting an experiment.  In this water properties lesson, 1st graders examine jars filled with ice, rain water, air and snow in their class.  Students predict what...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson plan, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students explain what factors determine density. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize which objects are less dense. They cite the importance of density in everyday life.

Young scholars study the Periodic Table to investigate basic properties of metals used to make coins. They discuss how historic events like the Civil War and Gold Rush had a direct impact on the trime.

Students study the different types of metals.  In this investigative lesson students watch a demonstration on the effects of temperature on atoms and take a tour through baone matter.

In this periodic table I quiz, students select the best answer to the given questions. Students apply their knowledge of the periodic table and the arrangement to correctly answer the questions presented.

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...

Students are told that objects in contact with one another reach an equilibrium temperature. A hot object placed in a cool liquid always cool off. It never happens that the object gets hotter and cool liquid gets colder. Students predict...

Students explore the effects that extreme temperatures have on the material properties of solids. They investigate the properties of a material whose state depends on extreme temperatures and witness how it interacts with room...

In this elements learning exercise, students learn about the elements found in the actinide group including those that occur naturally and those that have been artificially produced. This learning exercise has 5 short answer questions.

In this general science learning exercise, students find 32 science words reviewing states of matter and types of substances. Students may self correct by selecting the link at the bottom of the page.

Sixth graders examine the processes and transformations that occur in carbon pools. They play a game to identify paths taken by carbon through the environment.

When breaking down the details of the periodic table of elements, this presentation will explain special characteristics for each of the noble gases. The annotations are quite elementary, so this can easily be used in an introductory...

Students practice speaking and using vocabulary associated with the kitchen.  In this speaking and vocabulary lesson, students answer teacher questions about the kitchen and the items in the kitchen. Teacher evaluates student answers.

A fascinating instructional activity on states of matter is here for your young scientists. Dry ice is used to challenge learners preconceived notions about how solids work. They discover all sorts of interesting facts about states of...

During a macromolecule lab, young chemists perform multiple tests, including iodine starch tests, to determine if eight mystery foods contain lipids, sugars, or starches.

There are some amazing ways species evolve to survive. From large ears to sneezing salt, learners read about these interesting adaptations in an interactive lesson. Great to supplement an in-class lesson, it also works well as a remote...

In this chemistry worksheet, learners investigate through experimentation the solidifying behavior of some edible fat mixtures by determining their cooling curves. Then they data-log equipment to obtain a large number of temperature...

Students are introduced to concepts in an AP Chemistry class. They work together to complete experiments on different materials. They discuss the results of the experiments.

In this vocabulary activity, students write the letter of the sentence that completes each conversation correctly. There are 6 conversations to complete.

In this participial adjectives worksheet, students choose the correct way to complete the sentences with adjectives either ending in -ed or -ing. Students complete 16 sentences.

Learners categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.
