DEW POINT
Fourth graders investigate conditions causing saturation and measure the dew point of the atmosphere performing simple experiments.
Curated OER
Dew Point
Fourth graders investigate saturation conditions and measure the dew point. They conduct an experiment, record data on a worksheet, and measure the dew point in the experiment.
Curated OER
Ice Energy
Students explore how chemicals change water. For this chemical change lesson, students participate in an experiment to observe how salt effects ice and how ice cream freezes.
Curated OER
Rock Candy Crystals
Students discover how rocks are created. For this rock formation lesson, students investigate saturation, evaporation, and phase changes in geology. Students create rock candy from skewers, string, boiling water and sugar.
Curated OER
Demonstrating Liquid Crystallization
Students conduct an experiment which illustrates applications of chemistry in our everyday world.
Curated OER
Water Table
Students predict from a rock sample whether a water well could be drilled in that type of rock. They predict what conditons would be necessary for the well to produce water.
Curated OER
Clouds
Students explore the characteristics of clouds, their formation, symbols used in their identification, and the relationship of clouds to weather. The instructional activity focuses on how they are formed and their classification.
