Students experiment with common household products to determine the properties of emulsions and how they fit into the classifications of matter through this series of lessons.

Students discover the properties of waves in Chemistry and Physics. In groups, they develop and build their own device to demonstrate transverse waves. They complete their tests, record the results and discuss the conclusions with the...

Young scholars define density in their own words. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.

Students predict the shape of an unknown object by bouncing a ball on it. In this physics lesson, students relate this activity to how dolphins use echo-location to navigate. They analyze their lab result and discuss findings.

Middle schoolers investigate the law of reflection by using mirrors. In this physics instructional activity, students operate a robot using IR controllers. They explain the path of light as it reflects through a surface.

Third graders study the physical characteristics of the brain and identify its parts through this series of lessons.

Students explore theories surrounding Stonehenge and chart its physical properties. They build an astronomical calendar based on Sonehenge.

Young scholars explore the physical characteristics, distribution and habitat of termites. The lesson focuses on the termite as a social creature contrary to most other insects.

Middle schoolers identify the physical properties of propane by applying the gas laws to them. They compare and contrast Charles's and Boyle's gas laws and complete problems using them. They discuss their answers to end the lesson.

Twelfth graders make a number of ionic crystals. They compare a preserved snowflake to the physical properties of the ionic crystals. They apply qualitative observations and drawings in their discussion of the similarities between ice...

Students review the procedure for conducting Internet research and then research the earth--its physical characteristics, components, and cultural folklore regarding the planet. They compile the information they find into a report in...

Learners learn that genetic differences exist in all of us. That diversity is what makes us unique as individuals. Phenotypes are the physical characteristics that we develop from our genotype (our genetic makeup). Both the environment...

Third graders identify the characteristics of a frog and compare them to a human child. They draw and describe the best environment for a human to live in and the best environment for a frog to live in based on their physical...

Fourth graders discover what trees need to live and grow in the environment. They realize that trees sometimes interact or compete with other organisms as well as each other. They identify the physical characteristics of Utah's...

Learners discover how certain snakes can find prey using a natural infrared sensor. They think about small prey animals and how a pit viper snake finds them in the forest. Students explore the physical characteristics of the animals...

In this science worksheet, students fill in blanks with the correct letters to identify commonly known birds. Students read the description of physical characteristics and egg colors as clues. There is no word bank.

Young scholars classify items according to their physical properties. In this chemistry lesson plan, students define what matter is in their own words. They use the matter diagram to organize different substances.

Young scholars describe the effects of temperature change to rubber band's physical properties. In this chemistry lesson, students measure the length of rubber band when temperature changes. They explain why the length varies.

Ninth graders examine the Periodic Table. In this element lesson, 9th graders observe the chemical reactivity of elements. They graph the properties and discuss the trend in the group and period of elements. The students use math to...

Students examine a crushed rock and sort the minerals they find in that rock by color and other properties.

Third graders investigate the three states of matter and the properties of materials as they undergo physical changes. They identify examples of each type of matter, role-play atoms in solids, liquids, and gases, and conduct an...

Learners conduct a series of tests to identify unknown compounds. In this chemistry instructional activity, students compare the physical and chemical properties of substances. They collect data and formulate a conclusion.

Young scholars examine general properties of electromagnetic waves, identify position of each type of radiation in spectrum, discuss methods used to detect and analyze waves, and analyze relation between specific wave properties and...

Students are introduced to the properties of solids, liquids and gases. They see that colloids are mixtures which display the properties of more than one of these states. They engage in an excellent experiment which demonstrates this fact.
