Students create a synthetic dye and oxidize the dye and record the effects.

Pupils access the Internet to record data on weather. They use email to answer a younger classes' questions about the weather.

Learners study fungus, its reproduction and uses.  In this eukaryote lesson students complete several fungal experiments.     

Students create a contemporary presentation in which they internalize the information concerning Manet.

Students simulate how scientists studied things they can't see like atoms. In this chemistry lesson, students predict what is inside the numbered obsertainers. They design a way to investigate what's inside without opening it.

In this series of chemistry labs, students learn about the three states of matter by observing how molecules contract or expand as they change state.

A lab activity where students determine the state of matter of the "oobleck". Students will create a lab procedure to investigate the state of matter. Site includes handouts for the activity.

In this activity about matter, students investigate the three states of matter by participating in a small group lab. Students will observe, question, and investigate the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

This expansive unit created by McCracken County Schools focuses on the properties of matter. Multiple lessons focus on the concept of scientific modeling of matter particles. Included in this unit are various activities to reach all...

A collection of grid puzzles that cover topics in basic chemistry, including acids, salts, alkalis, chemistry lab equipment, the periodic table, states of matter, and more. These are excellent for topic review and reinforcement. The...

For this activity, students are given a 'mysterious substance' made of cornstarch and water, and they must test it using common materials such as vinegar or water, to see if they can determine whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas. Their...

Students will use water and cornstarch to make a mystery matter, and then discuss what happens when different energy is applied.
