Can you go ice fishing in the ocean? Learners examine the freezing point of different saltwater solutions. Each solution has a different concentration of salt. By comparing the freezing points graphically, they make conclusions...

Students plot the locations of fallout from two disasters that polluted much of the world's air. They plot the ash fallout from the 1980 Mt. St. Helen's eruption to see what the wind patterns in the United States look like overall. Next...

Students explore latent fingerprinting. They observe a supervised demonstration of the process that real-life crime scene investigators sometimes use to identify latent fingerprints. In addition, they brainstorm ways to improve the...

Students study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures. They see that chromatography is used to detect, separate or purify different substances. This nice lesson results in a beautiful t-shirt for each student!

Students work as a team to gather organisms from a stream to evaluate if the water quality is excellent, good, or fair to poor.

Sixth graders experiment with mixtures. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders determine which mixtures are considered heterogeneous, a suspension, a solution or a colloid. Students create a data sheet of what they discover.

Seventh graders research on energy conversion. After they have researched several types of energy resources, teams of two to four create posters which depict how these resources can be conserved.

Students study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures.

In this science worksheet, students select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

The teacher will conduct the whoosh bottle demonstration to engage young scholars. The class will then begin discussion of endothermic and exothermic physical and chemical changes. The students will then conduct the Science in Motion lab...

Resource provides information about the difference between physical and chemical changes. Includes a definition and examples of each.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Provides the definitions of physical and chemical changes in matter and gives examples. The law of conservation of mass is also described.

Students conduct a controlled experiment resulting in the growth of salt crystals. They will use their skills of observation to document what goes into the experiment and what comes out, and what they have learned of physical and...

In this lesson, 5th graders explore how to use tableaux to dramatize physical and chemical changes, and add dialogue to the tableaux to support their argument of whether the change is physical or chemical.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Physical and chemical changes are defined and examples are given of each. Practice with determining the difference between mixtures and solutions are also given. Links to external sites for practice...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of chemical change and examples, signs of chemical change and how it can be reversed.

Explore the differences between chemical and physical changes, including some examples at the atomic level.

Quia Corporation provides a hangman game about physical and chemical changes.

This lesson will describe physical and chemical properties and changes of matter.

Students will complete various tests of five mystery powders to develop an understanding of physical and chemical properties. They will record their observations and develop hypotheses as to what they think each mystery powder is and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces fifth graders to physical and chemical changes in matter. The Law of Conservation of Matter is also covered.

Twelve interactive chemistry lessons about chemical changes complete with handouts and animations.

This lesson focuses on how food packages are designed and made. Students will learn three of the main functions of a food package. They will learn what is necessary of the design and materials of a package to keep food clean, protect or...

This lesson plan focuses on the difference between physical and chemical changes of matter.
