Students examine containers and their capacity. They fill a one-cup measuring cup with water and pour cups of water into other containers. Through observation, students discover how many cups make a pint, and how many teaspoons make a...

The question is posed, is it permeable or impermeable, it's up to your critical thinkers to determine the answer. This presentation provides several scientific concepts related to permeability and the properties of matter alongside...

In this liquids and gases instructional activity, high schoolers review 9 vocabulary terms associated with liquids and gases by completing a crossword puzzle.

For this states of matter worksheet, students solve 9 clues in a crossword puzzle about solids, liquids and gases as well as the terms for changes in state.

Using a dry cleaner bag and a blow dryer, create a hot air balloon! The materials list suggests obtaining one dry cleaner bag per student, but since this is probably inconvenient, consider doing this as a demonstration during a...

First graders experiment with different states of matter in order to observe the changes in matter. In this states of matter lesson plan, 1st graders see and explain how solids, liquids, and gases change.

In this matter worksheet, students are given 10 sentences with italicized terms that are wrong. Students correct the terms to appropriately fit the sentences. Topics are related to matter such as physical and chemical properties, solids,...

In this matter worksheet, students will categorize and classify different types of matter as either a solid, liquid, or gas. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

For this states of matter worksheet, students answer 4 questions about solids, liquids, gases and plasma. They compare the particles of each and draw diagrams showing the particles in each state of matter.

Students use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

Students explore the six phase transitions between gases, liquids and solids for a variety of elements. Each group of students focuses on a different element, investigating its physical properties during each of the six phase transitions.

Explore the properties of gases through one activity and two investigations in which super scientists observe the changes gas makes when encountering different conditions.

Here's a wonderful lesson on how substances change states. Groups of learners are given trays with a chocolate bar, a piece of paper, an ice cube, and a balloon. During the activity, the groups closely observe the changes that each...

Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...

Young scholars demonstrate the scientific method by conducting an ice cube melting experiment. They make predictions and observations, and conclude what factors make ice melt more slowly or quickly than normal.

In this chemical phases diagram learning exercise, students use a diagram to answer 6 questions about the three different phases-solids, liquids and gases. The diagram is of a mystery compound referred to as "X".

In this gases worksheet, students study the pictures and write whether each one shows a state of a solid, liquid, or gas. Students complete 11 examples.

Fifth graders dance in different ways to show movement of states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, 5th graders make connected shapes with a partner, make flowing movements, travel rapidly, and more. 

Students explore water and how it changes forms.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows them how water changes form and what it looks and feels like. 

Learners identify the physical and chemical properties of matter. They review the types of matter. Students list the four states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma). They recognize and describe the different types of matter.

Learners define, give similarites and differences between solids, liquids, and gases. They compare and contrast a solid, liquid and gas in terms of shape, volume, compressibility, diffusion and density. Pupils classigy common...

students investigate, develop inferences, and identify general descriptions for each of the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. students investigate water, by observing and stating inferences about, the properties of each...

Third graders gain appreciation of water by watching online video, "Weather Smart: The Water Cycle and Clouds," exploring how water cycle works, comparing and contrasting three states of water as solid, liquid, and gas, and discussing...

Looking for a full-color, labeled water cycle diagram? You found one! From evaporation to precipitation to plant uptake and everything in between, it's all here and beautifully illustrated.
