Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine the temperature tolerance of yeasts. In this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.

Students test for the presence of enzymes in fruit and the specificity of those enzymes, as well as to identify and show the susceptibility of enzymes to certain environmental factors (temperature and pH) originating in the enzyme's...

Third graders observe the properties of water and in its different states. In this states of matter lesson, 3rd graders view a video, read The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks and experiment with freezing, melting and boiling...

Students place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different beakers...

Learners examine how to remove pollutants from water to create clean water.  In this boiling water lesson students complete a lab activity that purifies water. 

In this wet dry ice worksheet, students read the information about dry ice and phase change. Students perform an experiment in which they observe phase changes of ice. Students answer analysis questions as it relates to the phase change...

In this science word search learning exercise, students identify and locate words in a puzzle that relate to particle theory of matter. There are 24 words to locate in the puzzle and spell correctly.

Do solids, liquids, and gases even matter? The presentation focuses on changes in matter, including phases, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and physical changes. 

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Let the graph tell the story! Adding context to graphs allows learners to analyze the key features of the function. They make conclusions about the situation based on the areas the graph is increasing, decreasing, or has a maximum...

A study of the periodic table of elements doesn't have to be elementary! Deepen understanding of the building blocks of chemistry with an interactive periodic table. At first sight, the table looks like a standard reference page, but a...

Why do some items feel colder when they are the same temperature? How should you keep your soda cold? What makes the wind blow? These are just some of the things middle schoolers discover when completing a lesson on...

Students examine how the processes of condensation and evaporation occur. They describe the relationship between heat energy, evaporation and condensation of water on Earth. They give examples of the processes of evaporation and...

In this research skills instructional activity, students use a variety of reference sources to answer four questions about temperature. Questions refer to such things as cryogenics, boiling hydrogen and absolute zero.

Students recognize and observe weather phenomena. In this four part weather lesson, students are introduced to weather symbols through a story, then use a thermometer to measure water temperature. Next, students observe the formation of...

Students explore how temperature effects the processes of evaporation and condensation and how the air may be polluted  by the evaporation of certain compounds.  In this temperature lesson students complete a lab and a worksheet.

High schoolers investigate population dynamics such as variation in density of females, composition of food sources an environmental factors such as light and temperature on Drosophila. They then relate their findings to human...

Students evaluate the effects of temperature changes on the metabolic rate of a clam. Conclusion questions are addressed which help students to process and articulate their experiences.

Pupils wear goggles and collect materials and then set up computer program to use the temperature probes. They insert the probe into the milk recording temperature every 30 seconds and then record the data on the table.

For this science worksheet, students incorporate their knowledge of math to solve the given problems about freezing points through conversions. They convert from unit to the other.  There are 10 questions.

In this Kelvin scale worksheet, students read about the relationship between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale. They are given the equations to convert from one scale to the other. They find the equivalents for temperatures measured...

Fifth graders discuss the properties and characteristics of different substances. They find the viscosity of each substance while at room temperature, when heated and when cooled. They determine if the viscosity of a substance changes...

Students investigate molecule movement according to the kinetic molecular theory. In this kinetic molecular theory lesson plan, students observe demonstrations showing that molecules speed up with increasing temperature and slow down...

Students investigate the change of states of Butyl Stearate and the temperatures at which it changes state. In this change of state lesson plan, students place a test tube of Butyl Stearate in a cold water bath and monitor its...
