Learners investigate melting and cooling in a range of materials.

Students read books, learn about the letter s, and eat snow all to learn about snowmen. In this snowman lesson plan, students also view ice melting and sing songs.

Students investigate the history of early Hispanic workers in the U.S. They complete an online Webquest, explore various websites, read about Latinos in the U.S. today, view a mural, and answer discussion questions.

This very thorough lesson plan has young scholars collect all ingredients necessary and work in pairs to make ice cream using plastic bags. They take temperature readings and record them on the chart as well as record findings on the...

Second graders read the story The Ogre Bully and complete language arts activities connected to the story. In this language arts lesson plan, 2nd graders complete activities including discussion, reading, writing, sequencing, analyzing,...

For 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...

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...

A short slide show to display the characteristics of group 13 on the periodic table of elements. The atomic structure and reasons for their physical and chemical characteristics are not explained, and so this would only be an...

In this compounds worksheet, students compare separating elements of a compound and substances in a mixture. Students review melting and boiling point. This worksheet has 1 fill in the blank and 5 short answer questions.

How can you describe heat of fusion in a way the class understands and relates the importance of this concept to present day issues? In this third lesson of the series, learners conduct an experiment, demonstrating the flow of heat...

Change the density of water by adding minerals. The presentation discusses density—from the definition to calculations—and applies it to the real world. It briefly mentions specific gravity, and finishes by showing Archimedes'...

solid, liquid, and gas. The three different forms of water are the subject of the article used to assess reading comprehension. After reading the article, kids respond to a series of comprehension questions based on the text.

Fourth graders determine the amount of energy required to melt ice using a calorimeter. They calculate the Molar Heat of Fusion of Ice.

In this chemical and physical change worksheet, learners read about the differences between substances going through physical changes vs. chemical changes. They are given examples of each and evidence to look for in chemical changes....

In this current events activity, students analyze political cartoons about Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." Students respond to 3 talking point questions.

Students examine satellite images of the glacial features of Cape Cod. They analyze where human activity is located in terms of those features. Students make models of the features, including kettle holes. They also use contour maps...

Young scholars recognize the concept of temperature, including degrees, and the melting and freezing process. In this 1st - 2nd grade lesson plan, students identify the temperature of various objects, as well as create their own paper...

Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The lesson begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the heat needed to...
