Students create a definition of matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students work in pairs to sort items printed on cards into several categories (matter, non-matter, and unsure) and agree on a definition of matter.

Students discover density.  In this density lesson, students discover the properties of objects that allow them to float or sink in water.

Students explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass lesson, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Students utilize electronic scales and...

Students discuss the three states of matter and how they are affected by temperature. They make ice cream in a bag while observing how temperature change affects the mixture. They discuss why some specimens froze more quickly than others...

In this moles worksheet, students review solubility, moles of solute, molar mass, and colligative properties. This worksheet has 10multiple choice questions and 11 problems to solve.

First of three lessons, this is a great start to a unit on energy. As you demonstrate, learners discover different types of energy and how it is converted from one form to another. They then focus in on the generation of electricity by...

For this second of three lessons on power plants, future engineers find out how we generate electricity and how coal-powered plants operate. They work in small groups to make electromagnet generators to light LED bulbs. A set of...

Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble! Find out what drives a turbine to generate electricity and whether or not it has an impact on the environment. A discussion and lecture is divided by a hands-on activity in...

In this chemical reaction worksheet, learners write a balanced equation for each of the word equations given. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.

Young scholars explore energy by researching fuel usage on Earth. In this fossil fuel lesson, students define fossil fuels, the energy created by burning them, and the impact on the environment when using them. Young scholars conduct...

Students examine and plot atmospheric data on bar graphs.

In this colligative properties worksheet, students complete 8 sentences by filling in the appropriate word or phrase from the word bank, solve 3 problems, and respond to 5 short answer questions regarding osmosis, antifreeze, and vapor...

In this earth's environment worksheet, young scholars use the 20 clues and their problem solving skills to correctly complete the crossword puzzle.

In this matter learning exercise, students compare the different types of matter, including the states of matter. Students review the metric system. This learning exercise has 12 matching, 18 fill in the blank, and 4 short answer questions.

For this density and buoyancy worksheet, students read about the equation to find density and practice finding the density of substances. They read about buoyancy and match 10 terms with their definitions related to density, buoyancy and...

For this periodic table worksheet, high schoolers make their own periodic table using 12 given elements and their properties. Students use these elements to arrange them into the proper periods and families based on their properties.

Students make their own candy. In this science lesson plan, students observe how molecules interact with each other in physical changes and observe how the addition of heat can cause molecules to interact and form new molecules in...

Third graders observe the properties of water and in its different states. In this states of matter lesson, 3rd graders view a video, read The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks and experiment with freezing, melting and boiling...

Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...

Students investigate various chemical reactions when creating mixtures in ziplock baggies. For this chemistry lesson, students will recognize various chemical reactions and cite evidence. Safety and assessment strategies are included in...

Students observe fluid motion. For this Physics lesson, students explore the principles of Pascal, Archimedes, and Bernoulli. Students list their experiences with fluid movement.

In this writing equations worksheet, high schoolers are given 6 chemical reactions and they write equations for each one including the reactants, the products and the states of matter.

In this scientific method worksheet, students read over the basic steps of the scientific method and then apply those steps to a specific example. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions.
