Students examine pollutants and investigate air pollution emitted by a car in a year.  In this air pollution lesson students complete an activity and make calculations. 

Fifth graders learn how ground-level ozone is an air pollution problem. Students measure ozone levels and graph the results.

The students list major air pollutants, what causes them, and their effects on people and the environment. Students list ways they can prevent or reduce the types of air pollution mentioned in the play.

Students become aware of the cause and effects of different air pollutants. They present a play about the different pollutants.

Middle schoolers compare and contrast the different types of alternative fuels. They create a concept map to understand their classification. They examine the properties of matter and energy as well.

Based on a set of criteria, students will evaluate the quality of pecans.1. Bring a gram scale and papershell pecans. Provide five pecans for each student. 2. Divide the class into groups of five and provide each member with five pecans....

Middle schoolers explore how certain foods come to be certified "organic." They write the words "organic" and "synthetic" and given the definitions of each. Students are given dictionaries. They are asked: "What is organic food?" Middle...

Students write the electron configuration of elements in the ground state. For this chemistry lesson, students draw how subatomic particles are arranged in the atom. They construct Lewis dot diagrams of valence electrons.

Students engage in a lesson plan about the scientific concept of matter. They use essential questions in order to guide the research process. Students engage in several class inquiries that are hands on in order to investigate the...

Students explore the diversity offered in communities. In this Teaching Tolerance lesson, students read The Gift and then interview people within their school community regarding the gifts they receive in their community.

In this reactions worksheet, high schoolers are given nine chemical reactions to identify as single replacement, double replacement, synthesis or decomposition reactions.

Seventh graders are able to demonstrate the harmful effects of an acidic solution. They become aware of the harmful effects of acid rain. Students make predictions before they began the experiment. If vingegar contains acid, then how...

In this chemical equations worksheet, students complete a paragraph about chemical equations by filling in 17 terms from a word list.

Fourth graders discover the appropriate way to construct and analyze bar, line, picto, and circle graphs. They set up frequency tables and perform some statistical analysis (mean, median, and mode) on their data.

Students demonstrate their understanding of a chemical process.  In this exploratory lesson students create a clay animation that shows how a specific type of chemical bond. 

Students identify the characteristics of aerosols. Using remote sensing, they participate in an experiment in which they determine how the sun's radiation and elements in the atmosphere interact with one another. They also research the...

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

Students identify the various components of air as they demonstrate that air is present in the environment.

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Students predict the shape of molecules using VSEPR theory. In this chemistry lesson plan, students differentiate a polar and nonpolar molecule. They discuss why water's polarity is very important.

Students convert mole to mass to particles and vice versa. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss the importance of Avogadro's number. They apply what they have learned in a team competition.

Learners observe the teacher's demonstration of oxidation.

Young scholars explore the different types of pollution. they conduct experiments using dye mixed with tap water to measure the levels of dilution. They discuss at what point the dye (pollution) would be diluted enough to be safe to drink.

Students participate in an experiment to become aware of the harmful effects of an acidic solution -- acid rain.
