Eighth graders discuss atoms and electrons as well as atoic structure. They view atomic structure via the computer. Students watch a demonstration in which the teacher demonstrates glass tubing turning yellow in a Bunsen Burner flame....

Students describe the history of materials. They use the kinetic (particle) theory to explain changes of state in matter and trace the flow of heat during changes of state and chemical changes.

Learners explore the components of matter. They discover what matter is, the states of matter, and how heat and cold cause it to change states in an online format. In addition, they complete internet-based lessons, activities, and quizzes.

In this science worksheet, students take a close look at the composition of air while focusing on the content of oxygen. They use clay to model the amounts.

Eighth graders investigate chemical reactions to produce polymers. In this polymers lesson plan, 8th graders experiment with sodium silicate and ethyl alcohol to make a polymer. They also experiment with borax and glue to make a polymer....

In this acid and base instructional activity, students calculate the pH of solutions, sketch a titration curve, write equations used to determine the pH of solutions and determine the location on a titration curve of a given molar solution.

Students investigate how mold grows on food. In this mold instructional activity, students review the food pyramid before growing mold on different foods in Zip-Loc bags. They create graphs that show how long it takes for mold to grow on...

Learners examine solubility and the significance of water.  In this aqueous solution lesson students complete a lab activity on soil profiles.

Clarify pronoun references and pronoun antecedent agreement with this worksheet. This resource could act as a quiz or activity and could lead to teachable moments. The errors in these sentences are subtle, so this might be more...

Learners determine what characteristics are useful in classifying items.  In this sorting organisms lesson students create and explain a classification scheme using familiar organisms. 

Students examine the different changes in matter.  In this chemical change lesson students determine the amount of reactant made in a reaction using the law of conservation. 

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use elimination and substitution to solve for the point of intersection. They use graphing to see where the two lines intersect.

Young scholars explore number sense applications and discuss strategies for multiplication and division using mental math. For cross-curricular purposes, they explore causes and effects of inequality and social injustice. Students...

In this Scientific Method worksheet, students identify controls and variables given hypothetical situations taking place in Bikini Bottom. Students draw conclusions form the information they gathered in the experiments.

Students follow directions for a simple chemical experiment. They use the appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data. Students identify a substance that has characteristic properties, such as density, a...

Students define several laws of pressure and see how they relate to scuba diving.  In this ocean explorer lesson plan students answer questions and complete an activity. 

In this famous person worksheet, students read a passage about Michael Moore and then complete a variety of in-class and homework activities to support comprehension, including partner interviews, spelling, cloze, synonym...

Pupils reseach the different types of soil erosion and ways to control it in this series of activities.

Eighth graders practice using correct vocabulary and apply content knowledge related to phases of matter when answering questions about situations or observations from everyday life.

Students collect data and make observations on how given element samples respond to the field of a magnet and they calculate the density of the samples by finding the mass and volume.

Eighth graders determine the density of a sinker by first finding the mass and then the volume using a graduated cylinder. Students must write the procedure they use to find the volume of the sinker then apply their data to follow-up...

Eighth graders determine the amount of agitation necessary to dissolve various sized sugar particles. This task assess students' abilities to collect, organize, and interpret data, create appropriate graphs, predict future events based...

Eighth graders determine the presence of starch and sugar in unknown solutions. This task assesses students' abilities to observe, record and interpret data, classify, generalize/infer, construct data tables, and identify sugar and...

Students use diffraction glasses to find similarities and differences between observed spectrum of fluorescent light and an incandescent light They work in groups of 4-6 for the experiment/activity part of this exercise.
