Learners observe examples of physical changes that can take place between the three states of matter and develop common sense and intuition in distinguishing between chemical and physical changes. They observe diagrams on the board from...

Students learn that sound waves can be directed and collected. In this sound wave experiment, students create and collect sound waves. Students learn sound waves travel differently through different states of matter.

Students conduct an online experiment to discover what happens to solids, liquids and gases in different temperatures. In this states of matter lesson, students get into pairs and work in a virtual laboratory to manipulate...

Young scholars explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments familiar to the students. Young scholars represent these movements...

Students complete presentations of their understanding of the concept of matter in many different forms. In this matter lesson plan, students use whatever multiple intelligence they feel strongest in to present their presentation.

Students rotate through various hands-on experiment stations to explore the concept and properties of different types of matter. They compare some properties of solids, liquids and gases and describe how matter changes from one state to...

In this chemistry of ice cream worksheet, students investigate colligative properties and how they affect freezing points while making ice cream. Students answer short answer questions to determine if freezing is an endothermic or...

Young scholars explore the forms of water. For this physics lesson, students use ice cubes and observe what happens when the ice melts. Young scholars freeze the water again and record observations.

Developing a test that uses primary sources to assess class members knowledge of the history of the United States is no easy task! Save yourself the time and stress and use a final exam that includes essay, multiple choice, and short...

The best part of learning about equilibrium is that nothing changes. Young chemists observe four demonstrations during this lesson: equilibrium in a saturated solution, equilibrium with an acid-base indicator, equilibrium with cobalt...

Students investigate mechanical weathering as a form of erosion. In this erosion lesson, students, define weathering and erosion before determining how the Earth's surface is in a constant state of change. They watch a video, access...

Hydrogen bonds, and polarity are described in this PowerPoint, and the reasons for tension and cohesion associated with water.  The states of water under certain conditions are explained with information about the changes in...

In this chemistry worksheet, students calculate the freezing point of a given solution. Students calculate the final temperature and state of the water in a given problem. Students solve several problems provided.

Learners explore solid, liquids, and gases. In this science lesson plan, students distinguish similarities and differences of matter and recognize that different states of matter may appear in one substance.

In this phase change worksheet, students read about the particles in substances that speed up and slow down for substances to change phases. They answer eight questions about phase changes, the states of matter and how changing...

Students examine the role of religion in everyday life. In this religion and ethics lesson, students investigate the use of government funds to support faith-based initiatives. The lesson calls for students to conduct research, watch...

Many types of cancer treatments now depend on nanotechnology—a big "little" discovery. Scholars begin by removing "malignant" tissue from simulated brains, one using fluorescent markers thanks to nanotechnology and one without. This...

Examine the changing nature of language in the U.S. View and discuss excerpts from a PBS documentary with your class and then conduct Internet research, and complete a team project on the evolution of teen expressions. 

Using a simulated air sample, environmental or earth science pupils examine the components. You will need to prepare the faux air by using a hole punch and various colors of construction paper. Each color will represent a different...

The solar energy industry in the United States added more jobs in 2015 than the oil and gas extraction and pipeline industries combined. With the field growing so rapidly, it's essential to understand what solar energy is and how it...

Seventh graders explore the the constituents and properties of matter. They use the scientific process while exploring solids, liquids, gases, the mass, volume and density of matter. Students plan and conduct an investigation to measure...

Students review properties of matter and discuss how materials change when things are done to them. They observe how materials change as a reaction to temperature by following the procedure to make ice cream and recording the temperature...

Students investigate the concept of dark matter and how it occurs in the universe. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students use the information by reading at least two articles about dark matter. They also generate...

Students discover the forms water can take. In this hands-on science lesson plan, students examine how water can change from a solid to a liquid and then back again.
