Students research an assigned element using the library, an encyclopedia, the Internet and other appropriate resources in order to write a research paper, a project, and an oral presentation.

Young scholars classify sea life and shells and develop computer-generated tables and graphs. They observe a desalinization demonstration and enter information on their laptops through each step of the scientific experimental process.

In this chemistry worksheet, students select the answers to 32 fill in the blank questions from the word list provided. They identify the physical and chemical characteristics of halogens.

In this science worksheet, students identify different parts of one element from the periodic table. Students also complete a chart by writing the appropriate characteristics for metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.

Using a stream table, erosion enthusiasts examine how the density of sediment and how the slope of land contribute to the amount moved by waves. You will not be able to use this entire resource as is; there are teachers' names and...

Fifth graders perform experiments to determine the identity of an unknown gas sample. In this chemistry lesson, 5th graders fill balloons with air, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. They use mass and reactivity to identify the gases.

Six slides summarize the details about group 14 in the periodic table, otherwise known as the carbon group. Young chemists will see facts about carbon itself, and then some general uses of related metalloids. This is a short and basic...

Young astronomers follow a step-by-step procedure for dividing a lump of dough into parts, resulting in a scaled volume set of puny planets. Along with the printable directions is a template chart of planet names on which learners can...

Here is a handy handout to give any science class as a guide to writing lab reports. It is a blank outline that you can have aspiring scientists fill out when they experiment, or imitate as they record their experiments in a lab journal....

You can detail the important terms in element classification through this useful resource. This presentation describes individual elements, and details characteristics, and general facts that can make them easier to group.

Properties and uses of the halogen elements are illuminated by this compact collection of slides. Examples of halogen reactions with alkali metals, hydrogen, and water are also explained. This is a nifty resource to support an...

Although it was written to use in a science class, this measurement lesson is adaptable to Common Core standards in math for measurement and data. Youngsters are introduced to two types of measurement systems. They use both the...
