In this calculating joules worksheet, students read about the relationship between mass, temperature change, specific heat and energy. They find the number of joules needed to heat water in five different problems using the given...

Learners explore the concept of frost depth. In this frost depth lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to use a frost tube to measure, record, and graph frost depth data.

Students explore objects before and after heating using their senses.  In this matter and energy lesson, students experiment with a variety of objects and use their senses (except taste) to make predictions and record observations...

In this chemical equations worksheet, students identify the reactants and the products, state what phase each is in, and state the mole ratios of all the products and reactants. Students complete 10 problems.

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students are given fifteen unbalanced equations and they must identify the reaction types, the phases of the products, the signs that a chemical change occurred and the sum of the coefficients of the...

Learners explore the different phases of a crystal.  For this mineral lesson students grow their own sugar crystals using a sugar recipe. 

In this amphibian learning exercise, students will review the characteristics of the class Amphibia, including frogs and toads, salamanders, and caecilians. This learning exercise has 3 short answer questions, 5 matching questions, 6...

Students examine a frog's life cycle. In this amphibians lesson, students read a book about frogs and discuss how frogs are born and how they grow.  Students complete worksheets on the life cycle of the frog, and hold a discussion...

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.

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how particles in warm water move faster than particles in cold water.

Students observe a demonstration of Lenz's Law using an aluminum can and a bar magnet. They hypothesize what will occur as the can is placed in water and the magnet is lowered above it on a string. Students discover the phase shift...

How can you relate colligative properties of solutions to everyday situations? Pupils first discuss the concepts of density, boiling and freezing points, then demonstrate how to accurately determine the boiling and freezing point of...

Students gain an understanding of matter in all of its phases. In this science lesson plan, students further their knowledge of the laws of conservation of mass, the loss in mass can be accounted for, when the gas is allowed to escape...

Students roleplay to review nerve communication and the parts of the neuron. Each student represents a different part of a neuron and as parts become polarized and depolarized they act it out. A surprise occurs at the synaptic knob as...

In this solutions learning exercise, learners soak a pipe cleaner in hot water and a supersaturated solution of 20 Mule Team Borax. Students leave their pipe cleaner in the solution for 30 minutes and then observe. They put it back in...

In this vapor pressure learning exercise, students use a given graph of the vapor pressure of four liquids to answer eleven questions. They compare and find boiling points and vapor pressures of propanone, ethanol, water, and ethanoic acid.

Young scholars experiment with balloons, soda water and raisins to find out about the states of matter.  In this solids, liquids and gases instructional activity, students complete a group activity with balloons to recognize the...
