Wow! This is a nifty presentation for teaching high school chemists about the heating curve. It displays a graph for temperature vs. heat added, then enters the curve itself. The final slide identifies each part of the curve. Notes are...

Eighth graders create a slide show to show their knowledge of the eight lunar phases and lunar rotation and revolutionary periods.

Learners categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Messenger's sun shade measures 8 ft x 6 ft and will have temperatures reaching 700 degree Fahrenheit on the outside while maintaining a cool 70 degrees underneath. In the third activity of four, groups discuss the basic properties of...

In this chemistry practice activity, students select the correct response to the given questions. Students apply knowledge about the states of matter, finding vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure.

Students describe how molecules of the different phases of matter move according to the Kinetic Theory. In this chemistry lesson, students observe and participate in teacher demos. They give real world applications of the kinetic theory.

In this chemistry worksheet, students identify the three main phases of matter. Then they search for information about each element on a Chem Time Clock. Students use the chemical symbol to identify each element.

Students explore coming of age ceremonies. In this rites of passage lesson, students research spiritual, religious, and secular child and adolescent rites of passage rituals. Students design personal rites of passage.

Students define the term solution. They explain conservation of energy and energy transfer as it relate to how the milk solution became ice cream. Students are able to explain freezing point depression.

Learners collect snow samples around their school. They explore the concepts of density and phase change as well as the math skills of measurement and statistics. Students explore the water cycle through an interactive, down loadable...

In this chemical change worksheet, students review physical changes such as evaporation and condensation before working with chemical change. They conduct an experiment with vinegar and baking soda before recording the chemical changes...

This particle PowerPoint includes many pictures to illustrate solids, liquids and gasses and the behavior of their particles.

Students use scientific method to determine cost-effectiveness of air freshener, and create PowerPoint presentations to share their results.

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry instructional activity, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an...

Classes explore colloids through readings and questions in lesson 10 in a series of 36. They learn everything from methods of preparation and properties to how to classify colloids. They finish the lesson by seeing how to apply...

Third graders identify the phases of the moon. They use technology to access websites on the Internet dealing with the moon.

Students create water cycle stories. In this water cycle lesson, students review the parts of the water cycle. They create a story that describes the journey of a water molecule as it makes its way through the cycle and into different...

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

Students observe physical change of melting by observing substance in original state, melting substance, allowing substance to return to original temperature, determining if substance retained its original properties, and recording results.

Young scientists discover that air is a mixture of different gases - mainly nitrogen and oxygen. The properties of some of the other gases found in oxygen are listed in a table, then learners must decide which one of those gases is...

Students explore permafrost.  In this 3 states of matter instructional activity, students identify characteristics of solids and liquids.  Students observe water and soil melting and freezing at various temperatures. ...

Students differentiate the three states of matter. For this chemistry lesson, students analyze graphs of heating and cooling curve of water. They complete a lab report and discuss results.

Eighth graders explore the physical change of matter. As a class, they discuss their favorite super hero and determine if the hero undergoes a physical or chemical change. Students examine the change of state and phase change. In groups,...

Students construct models of the way water molecules arrange themselves in three physical states - solid, liquid, and gas. They explain the molecular behavior of ice, water, and water vapor.
