Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

Third graders describe and label the water cycle, and list how water changes from one form to another; students use Inspiration Software to label a blank water cycle diagram.

Learners observe a scientific discrepant event, and are then challenged to create experiments to solve the dilemma.

Students build a model and observe the cycle of evaporation and condensation that occurs in the water cycle. They see how the water cycle works, such as water condensing on the side of the jar and drops precipitating into rain that...

Students relate the states of matter and clouds.  In this environment lesson, students create a chart of information they know about clouds.  Students put an ice cube in a bag and tape to a window. Students watch for...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students classify and name compounds, calculate atomic mass, draw Lewis Dot Diagrams, and determine number of protons for atoms. This worksheet has 37 fill in the blank, 38 matching, and 3 short answer...

In this chemical and physical reactions worksheet, students read a 2 page science article, answer 10 statements as true or false, give 2 ways a chemical reaction is different from a physical reaction, answer 1 short answer question and...

In this chemical reaction instructional activity, students are given the details of an experiment where sodium chloride and silver nitrate are mixed in a chemical reaction. Students answer nine questions about the chemical reaction, they...

Students explore polymer properties. In this lesson about polymers, students perform an experiment to understand polymers, their properties, and that they are formed from small molecules. Students role play pretending they are polymer...

In this chemical and physical change worksheet, students use a sugar cube and observe its physical properties both when it is whole and after it is crushed. They heat the sugar cube and record 5 properties of the matter while being...

In this planet models learning exercise, students use the radius of a given planet and its mass to answer questions using a model of a planet with a given radius. They determine the volume of the planet's inner core, the volume of its...

Students explore air pollution. In this ecology lesson, students participate in an experiment in which 5 numbered jar lids are placed outside. Students bring one lid a day in until all jars are inside. Dirt specks are counted, observed,...

Fourth graders complete three activities. In this water supply lesson, 4th graders learn that water can exist in different forms and watch a demonstration of each form. Students explore the water cycle and make a water cycle using the...

Students investigate the different states of matter by experimenting in class.  In this matter lesson, students participate in a lab activity moving from one station to the next creating different formations of matter....

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry instructional activity, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an...

Learners categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

First graders break into groups of five students and are given 15 different objects and 3 posters. They group the objects into 3 different families with all the objects in each category placed on one of the posters. They choose whatever...

Middle schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of water chemistry. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students also consider an experiment to observe how water has the abiility to exist as three...

Students estimate the amount of water that can be found in its various forms including oceans, lakes, glaciers, rivers, etc. They view a demonstration about water distribution and discuss flash flooding safety precautions.

Students will observe the amount of water in an open container over time and also examine the amount of water in a closed container over time. They then will compare and contrast the sets.

Students study that colloids are mixtures which display the properties of more than one of these states.

Second graders explore the types of tools that scientists use t o study weater,

Fourth graders watch an experiment that demonstrates the causes of wind. They design and make an original weather craft.

Students are introduced to planetary research and familiarize them with the planets and their features. They see that each planet has unique features. Planets have some common features and that images can be used to study the planets and...
