In this scientific models worksheet, students will use a model to represent matter in its various states. Students can use a computer graphics program, drawing on paper, or three-dimensional creation. Then students will complete 3 short...

Students explore the properties of ice. In this states of water lesson, students examine the properties of icebergs and ice cubes as they participate in an activity that requires them to freeze a balloon half-filled with water...

How can you turn an ice cream activity into a scientific investigation? It's easy if you know ionic compounds, heat transfer, and the exothermic and endothermic process. Learners will explore the science behind freezing, insulation, and...

Students set up working models demonstrating lake turnover and the formation of deep water masses in the oceans.

Don't melt away! Pairs investigate different insulation materials to determine which one is better than the others. Using a low-temp heat plate, the teams insulate an ice cube from the heat source with a variety of substances. They...

solid, liquid, and gas. The three different forms of water are the subject of the article used to assess reading comprehension. After reading the article, kids respond to a series of comprehension questions based on the text.

Science students apply dimensional analysis to relate quantities in six different problems. They consider the cost of steak, a young man's growth rate, a medicine prescription, fuel efficiency, and more. This worksheet is a great way to...

This is a great worksheet with an infographic to assist your learners in categorizing matter into mixtures and non-mixtures. Information is given about the metric system of measurement. Your young students match 13 terms with their...

This cross-curricular reading comprehension instructional activity asks kids to read a passage of the rock cycle and then to use information in the article to respond to a series of questions.

Begin a full lesson on climate change by demonstrating how carbon dioxide gas contributes to increased temperatures. Be aware that pressure inside the antacid-containing bottle in Activity 2 may cause the lid to fly off; keep viewers at...

Who can grow the best crystals? Challenge class members to develop strategies for enhancing growth in the crystals. Through a lab investigation, learners study the properties of crystals and test the effectiveness of different...

For this chemistry worksheet, students calculate the freezing point of a given solution. Students calculate the final temperature and state of the water in a given problem. Students solve several problems provided.

Students melt colored ice cubes which are created from a funnel, balloons, water, and food coloring. In this ice lesson plan, students put food coloring into water in a balloon, freeze it, and see how the food coloring ended up making...

Students fill the tray half full with water. In this art lesson, students lay the string in the tray and add little bits of little items. Students lay the tray outdoors on a cold winter night so that the water freezes. What is frozen...

Learners investigate how efficient different substances are at melting snow. Students collect and analysis data.

Students make ice cream as a result of viewing changes of states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students learn how heating and cooling can effect a state of matter to change.

Students play a variation of freeze tag starting with two snowflakes that can freeze others. To become unfrozen students are tagged by sunshine students.

In this chemistry element worksheet, 7th graders complete three pages of activities that help them learn about solid, liquid, and gas forms.

Fourth graders explore the many uses of corn-based products and the importance of water resources. They consider how biodegradable products help to keep water clean. They perform experiments to observe how corn pellets dissolve while...

Students work in teams to solve a variety of challenges involving water. They move an ice cube from one glass to another without touching the ice or the glass. They move water from one glass to another and they estimate the number of...

Students study tolerance in a puppet activity. In this tolerance lesson, students watch a puppet performance to learn about tolerance, diversity, and understanding.

There are three separate lessons within this resource that can be used together, or that can each stand alone. In the first, five simple activities allow junior scientists to examine the amazing properties of water. In the second, they...

Students explore the rate at which ice melts. In this science lesson, students place ice cubes on colored index cards and place them in direct sunlight. Students observe which ice cubes melt fastest and slowest.

Pupils explore the states of matter. They discuss the different phrases of matter and categorize everyday substances as solids, liquids, or gases. Students explore the relationship between the phases on an atomic level and the role of...
