In this matter exam, students answer 80 multiple-choice and short-answer questions on atomic structure, atomic bonds, and equations related to energy spectra. A scientific calculator is recommended. A student's answer sheet and an answer...

Students work with three stations to demonstrate the properties of water. They explore water's boiling point, freezing point, and its ability to store heat.

Here is a activity that has young scientists think about things that been changed as a result of heating and cooling, and if they can be returned to their original form. There are seven scenarios to consider, and they must choose,...

Students define the term solution. They explain conservation of energy and energy transfer as it relate to how the milk solution became ice cream. Students are able to explain freezing point depression.

The evaporation of water and what happens to it as it travels through the water cycle are the focuses of this lesson. The evaporation of water seems like a "magical" process to people of all ages. This lesson takes away the mystery, and...

The earth is a delicate and fragile thing; Why not engage your class in a craft project that will make them aware of our environment? Earth Day is celebrated as recycled materials are used to create earth window hangings. Crayons are...

Students investigate gases and their properties by completing 4 activities. In this gases lesson plan, students perform activities to show that gases take up space, they diffuse, and that odors and vibrations pass through gases. They...

Second graders observe matter in all 3 states : liquid, solid and gas, in an ice cream soda. In teams, they are given ice and teams compete to be the first to melt their ice. Winner gets the ice cream soda. They draw examples of 3 states...

Pupils investigate the concept of dark matter and how it occurs in the universe. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students use the information by reading at least two articles about dark matter. They also generate some...

Students discover the forms water can take. In this hands-on science lesson plan, students examine how water can change from a solid to a liquid and then back again.

In this states of matter worksheet, students will write down a main idea relating to the three states of matter. Then students will write in five supporting details in this graphic organizer.

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

How important is water quality where you live? The first module in a six-unit series includes four lessons on water quality. By applying the concept directly to the lives of pupils, they engage in meaningful learning. They read about...

Invite your class to dig in to an engaging journey into the world of mining! Here you'll find the tools to equip young miners with knowledge of soil, rocks, and minerals, as well as types of mining operations. To round things out, the...

Students explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.

Students watch a video on matter and identify examples of solids, liquids and gases in the classroom. They discuss the attributes for each kind of matter and conduct an experiment to explore how matter can change form.

Students discover the properties of matter and how they change when composite materials are produced.  In this informative lesson students write up a question and procedure to an experiment then analyze and draw conclusions based on...

Young scholars explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter lesson, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Young scholars experiment with heating objects such...

Students examine the changing states of water. In this solid, liquid, gas instructional activity, students discover that water changes when heated or cooled. Students make predictions and then use the...
