Students investigate surface tension and bubbles. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students explore how the surface tension of water is able to support tiny objects that actually weigh more than the water as they collect date by...

Learners identify wind direction by using bubbles. For this weather lesson, students use a small container of bubbles and a map of their house to create a wind map. Learners blow bubbles and note the general direction the bubbles are...

Students discover the concept of an insulator. In this science experiment lesson, students follow the directions for baking ice cream. When baking is completed, students observe the results and answer questions on the provided worksheet.

Why does soda fizz when opened? Learners discuss the appearance of bubbles in soda bottles when opened. In groups, they design and complete an experiment comparing the amount of carbon dioxide dissolving in cold versus hot liquids.  

Though the publisher designated this unit for use with third through eighth grades, this particular lesson plan would be best used with middle schoolers due to the specific measurement skills required. Basically, they set up the reaction...

A fascinating and engaging lesson on the properties of water awaits you. In it, learners engage in four activities that are designed to teach about the properties of water. This exciting plan has worksheets embedded in it which make the...

What constitutes a good soap bubble? In the second installment of a nine-part series, scholars apply their understanding of surface tension to soap bubbles. They experiment to determine the best solutions to use for the...

Albrecht Durer created a highly textured stamp or print of a rhinoceros. To better understand which animals are near extinction, upper graders create similar prints of endangered animals they've researched. The six-day instructional...

The scientific method is emphasized in this engaging and exciting chemistry lesson. Learners get to create Alka-Seltzer cannons out of film cannisters, water, and Alka-Seltzer tablets. Carbon dioxide gas builds up inside the cannister,...

Young scientists learn that seeing isn't necessarily believing when it comes to the states of matter. After performing a fun class demonstration that models the difference between solids, liquids, and gases, children complete a series of...

Young scholars investigate Australia's Great Barrier Reef and create oil paintings of it. After their research, they apply various painting techniques to depict air bubbles, sun's radiation, and color blending. For older students, the...

After collecting carbon dioxide bubbles from a cup of club soda, learners attempt to make their own lemon soda while preventing the loss of carbonation. They do so by creating a syrup before mixing the substances into the club soda....

Young scholars experiment bubbles. In this scientific method lesson, students identify variables used in proper experiment design. Young scholars conduct experiments with different brands of dish-washing detergent to determine which...

Young scholars observe as the teacher blows bubbles from a large bubble pipe in order to take note of the colors and sizes of the bubbles. In this bubble blowing lesson plan, students experiment with a variety of bubble-blowing objects,...

Students research different types of bubble gum and identify the variables in them.  In this bubble gum instructional activity students design an investigation to test their hypothesis and graph their data. 

Students examine bubbles. In this early childhood science lesson plan, students experiment with different bubble wands and then share their insights.

Students examine the properties of bubbles by testing different bubble making materials.  In this scientific experiment lesson, students create a bubble brew with different soaps while observing the different strengths and sizes of...

Students study what an experiment is comprised of and how to be successful when doing an experiment.  In this experimental activity students design their own experimental investigation and answer questions.

Sixth graders investigate the properties of water. In this life science instructional activity, 6th graders create a concept map of water. They share their work with the class.

Third graders brainstorm and record all their responses about what they know about bubbles. They discuss what they know about bubbles and what they would like to know about them, keeping their responses on a second sheet of newsprint....

Students develop an understanding of the concept of matter. They l participate actively in the bubble raft experiment as described on the Center for Thermal Spray Research's website. They demonstrate dislocations and grain...

Very simply, pairs of learners construct a model of the tetrahedral silica structure using raisins and toothpicks. They dip it into a soapy solution and then blow a bubble "atom" into its center. The lesson plan gives instructions that...

How do we clean up oil spills and other pollutants in the water? Explore water treatment strategies with a set of environmental science experiments. Groups remove oil from water, work with wastewater treatment, and perform a water...

Here is a lab activity adequate for use with any full instructional activity on environmental factors that shape animal adaptations or marine animal characteristics. Pupils will discuss the role plankton plays in the environment and...
