Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

Students explore the concept of graphing data. In this graphing data lesson, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.

Little chemists observe the effects of acid on calcium carbonate as an example of chemical change. As a demonstration you will place a raw egg in vinegar overnight, and as a lab activity, learners drip vinegar onto a piece of chalk....

Although the worksheet for the lab activity is not included, this is an activating activity for your class to do when learning about the greenhouse effect. They lay three thermometers underneath a lamp: one out in the open, one under a...

Don't let all your hard work go up in smoke. Pupils conduct an experiment to see the harmful effects of cigarette smoke. They observe how smoke changes the color of white wool and an indicator solution.

Third graders play a computer game related to money. In this money lesson, 3rd graders have to give a customer change. They see how much money is needed and have to choose the coins to make that amount. 

Students study the structure of the lungs. In this lung structure lesson, students use lung models to study the structure of lungs and experiment to measure the amount of air in the lungs.

Fourth graders explore air as a material substance. Through experimentation and discussion, they explore how air can be classified as a material substance. Students write three examples proving that air is a material substance in their...

Seventh graders complete two experiments to learn about harmful and helpful microorganisms. For this microorganisms lesson, 7th graders read background information about fungi, yeast, and club fungi. Students then complete two...

Sixth graders investigate the concepts related to creating an understanding of how earthquakes occur. They participate in a variety of activities that are tied to each other and focus upon the principle of plate tectonics. Then students...

Students discover the properties of wind. They name as many wind words as they can. (breezy, windy, blustery, gust, tornado, hurricane, stormy, etc.) and use vocabulary, movement, and props to illustrate winter weather concepts such as...

Young scholars experience problem-based learning as they use prior knowledge of the states of matter to keep a frozen juice bar from melting.

Fourth graders investigate chemical changes in everyday life settings, such as cooking. They investigate leavening which is one of the classic chemical changes that people experience. Pupils observe leavening in biscuits with the...

Students perform experiments to determine how different acids cause acid rain. They measure the pH of the water to calculate the water's acidity. They discover how acid rain dissolves rock materials.

In this chemical change worksheet, students conduct 4 experiments set up around the room. They follow the instructions at each station for each experiment and list the physical properties and observe any changes at each station. Students...

Students break into four groups, starting at different stations. Each station should take about 10 minutes depending on prior knowledge of the topic. They then rotate when everyone is finished to the next station and discuss answers of...

Learners investigate the characteristics of eggs by playing and experimenting with them.

Students examine the physical properties of waves to explore the word crest and trough. They use toys to study waves in air, water and light.

Students investigate the concept of a compass and it has been used in the past and in modern times. They practice using it in the wilderness in order to test its importance in various exploring activities. Each activity is accompanied by...

Students explore primary and secondary colors. For this lesson on light and color, students complete four different activities which include mixing colors, creating secondary colors from primary colors and observing the colors in a bubble.

Students participate in a mini lab to explore density.  In this density lesson students view a demonstration and answer questions.
