Students work in groups to define chemistry vocabulary including the terms reactants, products, exothermic and endothermic. They then combine the group definitions to arrive at a consensus definition for the class. Students also listen...

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

In these saving energy worksheets, students learn about energy and how to conserve it. Students complete a 22 page packet for the activity.

Students study descriptions of indicators and the way they are used to identify acids and bases. They use this information to determine if unknown solutions are acids or bases.

Students discuss the threats facing migratory species and track the seasonal journeys of wildlife in real space and in cyberspace. Once they have gathered information from several sources, they create a portfolio to share with others...

Eighth graders identify the three main types of chemical bonds. In this chemistry instructional activity, 8th graders draw Lewis dot diagrams of elements and determine the bond formed. They create a model water molecule.

Eighth graders distinguish between physical and chemical change. In this chemistry lesson plan, 8th graders observe a series of demonstrations showing physical and chemical changes. They identify the signs that a chemical reaction took...

Sixth graders examine how science is used in everyday activities, such as baseball.

Students study solar energy.  For this renewable energy lesson students complete several lab activities using different controls and variables. 

Students research chemical formulas and balance chemical equations.  In this chemical equations lesson plan students complete a class activity on chemical equations and answer questions.

Students explore how energy transforms into heat.  In this energy instructional activity students create models and find a need for fuel to make a Stirling engine. 

Students create a pond habitat inside and outside their classroom. In this pond lesson plan, students create a habitat with animals, water, and plants in order to create a proper pond habitat.

In this static electricity worksheet, students use balloons, flannel cloths, and a plastic bag to create static electricity. Students then fill out 3 tables and answer 3 short answer questions.

Young scholars experiment with a solar still. In this distillation lesson plan, students find a simple way to use evaporation to make salty water drinkable.

Eighth graders practice balancing chemical equations. In this chemistry instructional activity, 8th graders explain why it is necessary to balance equations. They complete practice worksheets individually.

On this site, find a variety of materials to help students understand the conservation of matter. Create lessons that allow students to measure and graph quantities that could show even if matter is heated, cooled or combined with other...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The law of conservation of mass and an example.

Learners conduct a hands-on investigation to determine how matter, changing state, effects the property of weight. Students will collect data and graph their results. Resources include step by step instructions, a data worksheet, videos...

Matter changes both physically and chemically on a fairly regular basis. Through these activities students will challenge their understanding of the changes that may take place with different types of matter.

Learn about the conservation of mass and energy as it applies to different living systems.

Students analyze the chemical equation for the reaction between vinegar and baking soda. They observe that the gas produced in the reaction is also part of the products of the written chemical equation.

This article helps students understand and apply Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum.

Everything in our universe has mass- from the smallest atom to the largest star. But the amount of mass has remained constant throughout existence even during the birth and death of stars, planets and you. How can the universe grow while...
