Learners combine movement with science in this fun integrated instructional activity. When students are "liquid" they can "melt" or "ooze" at the end and when they are are "solids" they can "freeze" in a shape.

Students predict what is going to happen using prior knowledge being prepared to alter a view when faced with new evidence. They then accurately measure and record liquid volumes realizing that liquids and granular solids have...

Learners investigate the process that occurs when liquids evaporaate. They test water and alcohol to determine which substance evaporates more quickly and relate the rate to energy changes.

Students use appropriate skills to design and conduct scientific investigation. They sort and classify various ingredients and analyze their investigation. Finally, students describe the observable states of matter, bot solids and liquids.

Students examine the difference between the Cold War and the "hot" wars and contrast the benefits of solid and liquid fuel ballistic missile systems of the era. The impact of the Cold War upon their communities is explored.

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 explore the concept of titration. For this titration lesson, students observe acid and alkaline reacting. Students discuss pH factor, measuring acidity, neutrality, and alkalinity of liquids. Students put the pH of liquids on a...

Students make glue out of milk and vinegar. In this chemistry lesson plan, students combine curds of milk with an ammonia solution until a creamy liquid forms.

High schoolers explore the concept of the colligative property. Through experimentation, students lower the freezing point of a liquid in order to create a solid by using household ingredients to create ice cream.

Students investigate the properties of water. In this states of water lesson, students explore how water goes from liquid to solid and back to liquid again. Students use measurement, observation, and communication to describe the change.

Students witness an demonstration in which a bottle of club soda will go from a liquid to a solid when it is opened and the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape. This will help them understand that the freezing point of a solution will...

Learners study the water cycle and states of matter. In this water cycle instructional activity, students observe ice for a period of time and record their observations. Learners create a Venn Diagram comparing water in solid form and...

Young scholars explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Stir chocolate drink mix into hot and cold water to see if there is a difference in how quickly it dissolves. Number three in a six-lesson unit on dissolving, this installment investigates the effect of temperature. If you consult the...

Geology rocks — literally! A geology chapter offers eleven activities at four different levels. Scholars enjoy completing hands-on experiments before applying critical thinking skills following a share, process, generalize, apply,...

Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Characteristics of each state of matter are listed, the formulas for heating water are detailed, and values for boiling and heat of vaporization are presented. This simple slide show provides direct instruction as well as practice...

Young scientists transform themselves into rivers, oceans, clouds, and drops of water in order to explore the water cycle. After assigning and explaining to students their different roles in the activity, the teacher reads aloud a...

This natural resources learning exercise includes discussion activities about natural resources, 2 word searches, and a list of related books and videos.

After collecting carbon dioxide bubbles from a cup of club soda, learners attempt to make their own lemon soda while preventing the loss of carbonation. They do so by creating a syrup before mixing the substances into the club soda....

Pupils will work in small groups, observing an ice cube and recording a description, the feel of the ice, and how it looks when put in another container. Students observe changes in the ice over 15 minute intervals, then freeze the water...

In 1879, Sir William Crookes discovered the fourth state of matter, plasma. The presentation covers states of matter, phase changes, density, pressure Pascal's Principle, buoyant force, Archimedes' Principle, Bernoulli's Principle,...

Extensive notes on foundational chemistry concepts make up this resource. It summarizes the properties of matter, the periodic table, chemical nomenclature, and general chemical bonding. Design a set reading comprehension questions to go...

Students work with three stations to demonstrate the properties of water. They explore water's boiling point, freezing point, and its ability to store heat.
