Show young chemists what a chemical reaction looks like with two parts of a hands-on experiment. First, learners conduct a wet lab where they observe the reactants (baking soda and calcium chloride, with phenolsulfonphthalein)...

What does freedom of religion mean? Analyze a series of Supreme Court cases where the First Amendment right to freedom of religion was put to the test. They discuss the cases' outcomes and argue whether the right decision was made....

Students review the three states of matter and discuss if water can change from a solid to a liquid. They watch the BrainPOP Jr. video about the states of matter and discuss if they saw water change from a solid to a liquid and what made...

Students use knowledge of the states of matter while creating an informational book on solids, liquids, and gases. They watch a class video about matter and then discuss what they know about the three types.

Students investigate if heat can change the form of matter. In this physics lesson plan, students use heat sources to observe the changes in an ice cube. Students graph which heat source changed the matter the fastest.

Young scholars investigate how water changes state. In this water instructional activity, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. This instructional activity includes extensions which can be accessed via the...

In this laws and principles of matter quiz worksheet, high schoolers complete an on-line quiz, clicking on questions and matching answers, scoring 1 point for each correct answer. A printed version is available.

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...

In this science learning exercise, students keep a running list of everything surrounding them that is matter and then categorize each item by listing what state of matter each one is in.

In this gases worksheet, students review the 3 states of matter, the types of molecular motion, and the characteristics of gases. This worksheet has 30 problems to solve.

In this weird water worksheet, students read for information and assess comprehension. In this true and false, fill in the blank, and multiple choice worksheet, students answer ten questions.

Second graders discuss the properties of the three states of matter, and then sort objects into the proper categories, solid, liquid, or gas.
