In this safety worksheet, students read about lab safety including safety equipment and procedures. Students learn about reading chemical labels and the MSDS. This worksheet has 14 matching and 13 short answer questions.

In this safety procedures instructional activity, students answer questions about eye safety, broken glass safety, lab area safety, chemical safety, fire safety and chemical disposal safety.

Young scholars extract DNA and test for its presence from unroasted (raw) wheat germ using a prescribed procedure. They modify the procedure to provide a less expensive, easier method. They also extract DNA from different available...

For this first class lever worksheet, students investigate the mechanical advantage of this simple machine. Students change the effort arm and the resistance arm and calculate the resistance force, effort force and the...

In this scientific investigation worksheet, students use "magic tubes" to make observations, hypothesize, study variables in experiments, write procedures, and draw conclusions.

In this science activity, students examine the topic in order to solidify knowledge covered in the curriculum using puzzles and creative games.

Young scholars use short-chain polymers and borate ions to produce cross-linked polymers in the lab. In this cross-linked polymer lesson plan, students produce polyvinyl acetate slime and polyvinyl alcohol slime and test their physical...

Learners investigate making esters in the lab. In this ester lesson plan, students mix 3 organic acids with 3 alcohols and a catalyst to form 3 different esters. Learners identify the odors of each ester and write the formulas for the...

For this gas lab, students use a pressurized soda bottle with a closed end syringe to simulate Boyle's Law. They alter the volume and watch the effects on the pressure of the gas. They plot their data and answer eight post lab questions.

In this quantitative analysis worksheet, students perform a lab to determine the amount of acetic acid in vinegar by doing a titration. They use an indicator phenolphthalein to determine the endpoint of the titration.

In this pH worksheet, students experiment with dilutions of acidic solutions to test for the pH using cabbage as an indicator. They then test a variety of substances for pH. On day two of the lab, they test conductivity of solutions and...

Students use shoes to make a classification flow chart. In this classification lesson plan, students all take one of their shoes off and put it on a table. In groups they create a classification system based on 3 characteristics of the...

Second graders experiment with simple machines. In this machine lesson, 2nd graders go to different labs to see examples of a lever, inclined plane, wedge, pulley, gears, and wheel and axle. They discuss how a machine makes work a lot...

Students investigate the effects of adding or removing a reactant or a product on chemical equilibrium. In this equilibrium lesson plan, students add or remove ions to solutions to determine the effects on equilibrium. They make...

Learners determine the heat of fusion of ice. In this heat of fusion lesson plan, students use a calorimeter to measure the molar heat of fusion of ice. Learners determine the heat required to melt one mole of ice using hot water and ice...

Students determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas. In this molar volume lesson plan, students find the molar volume of hydrogen produced in a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. They use a eudiometer to measure the volume...

Students explore inventions. In this Applied Science lesson, students discuss the history of everyday objects and the invention of them. Students illustrate and describe their own invention.

Students investigate the concept of lab safety using a variety of different activities. The equipment necessary is covered. They draw the different types of lab tools using a graphic organizer.

Students use the prelab as an introduction to the importance of DNA fingerprinting- a form of identification that us being accepted by both scientific and leagl experts. They prepare a gel for electrophoresis. DNA fragments, which have...

In this inclined planes worksheet, students investigate the effort force needed to move a 1 kg weight up a ramp to different distances on the ramp. Students calculate the work input and output for each trial as well as the...
