Students engage in a lesson about the scientific concept of matter. They use essential questions in order to guide the research process. Students engage in several class inquiries that are hands on in order to investigate the properties...

Students are introduced to the basic principles of atmospheric pressure. After watching demonstrations, they discover the capability of air pressure and how it affects weather. In groups, they use an inquiry template to solve different...

Young scholars explore Le Chatelier's Principle. In this lesson plan about chemical equilibrium, students do an experiment with several different activities . Young scholars observe as they do the experiments and understand the outcome....

Students using scientific inquiry will observe and record in daily journals their findings on cotton seeds. They measure, graph, and then communicate their discoveries about plants to each other.

Sixth graders investigate heat energy, conduction, convection, and radiation.

Eighth graders examine different solutions.  For this solution material lesson students complete a lab activity and several worksheets. 

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Fifth graders observe how water changes phase through a teacher-led demo. In this earth science lesson, 5th graders relate the demo to the water cycle. They draw and label each stage of the cycle.

In this variables in experiments worksheet, students read about control variables and experimental variables before they respond to 15 graphic organizer and short answer questions.

In this physical and chemical properties worksheet, students read a 2 page article, identify 10 changes as physical or chemical characteristics and decide whether 3 combination of objects are chemical or physical mixtures and explain why.

In this entropy worksheet, students calculate the change in entropy and rank absolute molar entropies. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.

In this measurement and safety activity, students find the terms in a word search puzzle for 13 statements about the SI units of measurement, the prefixes for the units and measurements of mass, length, and volume. They answer 2...

In this heat worksheet, students determine the heat gained or lost when matter changes phases. Students review the energy flow through ecosystems by comparing trophic levels and food webs. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 5 short...

Students experiment to determine if yeast is a microorganism. In this yeast blowup lesson, students mix yeast with other ingredients and observe the results by using a balloon. Students adjust the amounts of the ingredients and test...

Young scholars conduct a series of experiments in which they explore chemical reactions. They detect chemical changes by observing how physical properties change when two different chemicals are combined. They list and describe the...

Fifth graders use the computer lab to search for answers to questions on their workshet. They discuss the creation of igneouss rocks and listen as the teacher lectures about lava. Students follow directions to mix a batch of salt dough...

Learners investigate the connection between work, potential energy, kinetic energy, and heat. In this physics lesson, students use pulleys to produce mechanical advantages and incline planes to demonstrate energy conversion.

Students identify different woods based on their density. In this density lesson, students use a triple beam balance to find the mass and a metric ruler for the volume. They look through various wood blocks and identify what type of wood...

Pupils discover how to inhibit food borne illnesses by practicing safe food-handling techniques. Among topics they examine are the advantages and disadvantages of using wooden or plastic cutting boards. After studying for the test,...

Students watch a demonstration using a plastic bag and a hair dryer to create a hot air balloon. After the demonstration, they discuss the results and whether or not hot water behaves the in the same manner as hot air. They conduct...

In this periodic table worksheet, students create cards for a annotated periodic table then use it to answer 16 short answer and fill in the blank questions.

Students explore convection. For this lesson on heat and energy, students investigate how heat moves in convection currents. They use their finding to better understand how convection currents effect the movement of tectonic plates.
