For this matter worksheet, learners review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.

In this compounds worksheet, students describe why metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds and why the formation of ionic compounds are exothermic. This worksheet has 5 short answer questions.

Students study ways in which to identify rocks. They complete a number of activities that introduce them to various ways of identifying minerals in rocks.

Students explore the natural distallation process that occurs in the water cycle. They use plastic cups and cotton swabs to observe the condensation process that is evident in the water cycle.

Students study the difference between physical and chemical properties. They also discuss changes in matter, known as physical and chemical changes. They observe and discuss several demonstrations of both physical and chemical changes

Learners think to themselves about what a scientist might look like when they're working and then draw a picture of a scientist at work and discuss their drawings. They notice the number of men compared to women and other such...

In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students determine the biological effects and the applications of nuclear chemistry. Then students use Einstein's theory of special relativity to complete 3 problems.

In this classification of changes worksheet, students identify each example as either chemical or physical changes. Students also classify other examples as either element, compound, solution, colloid, or suspensions. In the other...

Students discover how islands form, how plant and animal species get there and what the term means.  In this biomes lesson students prepare a presentation that describes the life forms and geography of an island. 

Fifth graders compare climates. In this weather lesson, 5th graders observe and record weather observations and discuss the impact of weather on people. Students also discuss the concept of global warming and determine how weather...

Fourth graders discover that scientists examine evidence from around the world in order to explain global climate change. They see that records of climate change exist, and describe photographs interpreting changes in glaciers over time.

Second graders discover volcanoes that occur around the world. They identifying volcano parts.

Students perform a play that presents the causes and effects on people and the environment of the eight major air pollutants.

Learners investigate the greenhouse effect. In this environmental lesson, students investigate why the greenhouse effect changes the climate through an experiment. Learners use vinegar to simulate how acid damages the environment.

Students are introduced to igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. They use foods to demonstrate the basic formation of each type of rock, read books about rock formation and view related videos.

Fourth graders discover how the processes of erosion and weathering alter the physical characteristics of the environment. In a student log,they record the various types of erosion and list ways to prevent it. Using clear, plastic...

In this phase diagram worksheet, students use a phase diagram to determine the substance. As the temperature is changes, students figure out the new substance and process that has occurred. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

In this theromochemistry worksheet, students review the kinetic theory of gases and the three phases of a substance. Students calculate how much heat is required to raise a certain mass of solution a certain number of degrees. This...

Students determine the meanings of concentration, surface area, and catalysis through an experiment. In this lesson about chemical reactions, students participate in an experiment. Students complete three different parts of the...

Students research climate change. In this environmental lesson, students view a PowerPoint slideshow about climate change and identify the ways that climate change affects life on Earth.

In this Solar System worksheet, students are quizzed. Students answer questions about the solar system and the planets and other celestial bodies that comprise it.
