In this formulas and equations worksheet, chemistry apprentices write the chemical formulas given the names. They calculate percent composition, balance equations, and calculate the mass of a substance present in a fertilizer. This is a...

After listening to a story about the water cycle, learners create their own versions of this tale. This is a great way to have your class review the concepts of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

Here is a great way to get pupils to express a scientific concept in a fun way. After hearing the story of Walter the Water drop and learning facts about the water cycle, the class will write a creative expository piece describing what...

Middle school chemists visit interactive websites in order to discover what happens to molecular motion when heat is added to matter. They conduct an experiment that demonstrates the expansion of matter with the addition of heat. A lab...

Learners conduct studies of states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students observe the properties of matter and classify different substances as solids, liquids, and gases.

Young scholars complete activities to study the properties of solids and liquids. In this states of matter instructional activity, students investigate the melting and freezing of a range of materials in a virtual experiment. Young...

Students study soil and how particle and pore size affect water movement.  In this soil lesson students complete a lab activity to investigate pore saturation and sponge like behavior. 

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...

Students explore the three states of matter. For this physics lesson, students are shown examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Students make cookies and identify the three states of matter during the baking process.

First graders create ice cream in class.  In this matter lesson, 1st graders discover solids, liquids and gases and the properties of each.  Students produce a batch of ice cream in class using household items.

Students examine the changing states of water. In this solid, liquid, gas lesson, students discover that water changes when heated or cooled. Students make predictions and then use the interactive whiteboard to "heat and...

Students explore the energy changes from a liquid to a solid. They model the arrangement of a solid and the change in states due to changes in energy using desks and chairs. Assessment questions are provided in lesson plan.

Students investigate how temperature and pressure cause a material to change phase. They heat water to reclaim a gas. They demonstrate that different liquids evaporate at different temperatures.

Students develop an understanding of waste and its effects.  In this managing waste instructional activity students participate in one of a few activities including creating a poster, summarizing an article or writing a research...

A 30-question multiple choice chemistry test challenges takers. Topics touched upon include thermochemistry, equilibrium, behavior of gases, and pH. Problem solving is required in order to answer most of the questions. Other questions...

The states of water are the focus of this PowerPoint. The presentation includes definitions of liquids, solids, and vapors. It also includes examples and illustrations of each of the states of water and information about how water can...

Using a famous children's story as the hook, learners explore the concept of changes in matter. First, they make a cake similar to the one made by Alice in the story Alice's Adventure in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Next, they let their...

Viewers learn how to identify the substances in a chemical reaction, how to balance it, and the different types of chemical reactions by watching a presentation that also includes a review of monomers and polymers. The presentation...

Dry ice isn't dehydrated water, and young scientists learn why in this fascinating presentation. After watching a video, they complete three different activities using dry ice. Upon completion, they discuss the scientific...

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

In this states of matter worksheet, students will complete the graphic organizer by writing in the 3 states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

In this water worksheet, learners read a 1 page article on water, fill in the blanks of 3 words with their missing letters, fill in a crossword puzzle containing 5 clues about water and answer 1 short answer question. Students draw a...

Students observe changes in water. In this lesson about water and its forms, students perform an experiment to determine how water changes. Students analyze what causes water to be solid, liquid, or gas. Students record their...

Students explore water and ice. In this 3 states of matter lesson, students work with a partner to observe, illustrate, and describe the characteristics of an ice cube in a cup. The ice cube is observed again in 15 minutes and changes...
