In this matter worksheet, students read a chart that uses water to show the three most common states of matter. Students review the properties of solids. This worksheet has 2 graphic organizers and 8 fill in the blank questions.

In this states of matter worksheet, students read about the changes in energy for matter to go from one state to another state. They complete a chart for each state of matter and identify the shape, the volume, its compressibility, the...

Students use Oobleck to investigate the properties of colloids. In this Oobleck and colloid lesson, students listen to the beginning of  Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss. They experiment with Oobleck (corn starch, water, and...

Students investigate the chemical composition of pennies dated 1983 or later. In this chemical composition of American coins lesson plan, students scratch the surface of the penny to expose the zinc core. They put the penny in...

In this states of matter instructional activity, students are given a summary of the particle arrangement, the motion of particles, the properties of particles, and models of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. Melting, evaporating,...

The awful practice of torture is the focus of this sociology lesson plan. Pupils examine their own personal values regarding torture. They participate in a class discussion that considers the moral issues surrounding the use of torture...

Help your young scientists learn which materials are affected by magnetic fields with an activity that presents the information about different types of materials — diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic — and their interaction...

After reading about the formation of public opinion, the class can complete this quiz. They answer 5 true/false statements regarding public policy, political attitudes, and public opinion. Then they answer 5 multiple-choice questions...

In this matter worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by describing the properties of matter, the changes of matter, and how matter can form mixtures.

First graders discover the properties of matter through hands-on experiences, 1st graders discover how to protect their Freeze Pop from melting.

In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.

In this density worksheet, students review this property of matter and the mathematical equations for density, mass, and volume. The worksheet has 10 fill in the blank statements and 3 word problems.

Students experiment with objects of different densities. In this density lesson, students examine same-sized objects with different weights, then look at a teacher explanation of density. Students make wave bottles and a density jar to...

Study matter in a new way with a cross-curricular assignment for language arts and math. Learners answer five reading comprehension questions after reading a few paragraphs about the periodic table, properties of elements, and how atoms...

Turn your class discussion of rock formation from ho-hum to holy hornfels! Junior geologists gain experience in identifying rock types and rock origins, with an emphasis in hypothesizing the environment needed to form certain...

Time to show off what they've learned! The final activity in the series of six asks young scholars to process their learning from the previous lessons. They identify possible elements of the sun as well as a possible origin.

Element groups are located in the periodic table by blinking on and off. A slide is then dedicated to each of the groups, explaining which elements are included and what common chemical properties they share. This topic is presented in...

Pupils explore matter by conducting an in-class experiment. They experiment with water's various forms by melting and freezing water, identifying its new shape. These observations are recorded to supplement later discussion. They also...

Learners determine the mass, volume, and density of two different mineral samples. Students show data and calculations as well as answer questions about the mineral identities.

Second graders investigate the properties of solids and discover how to classify them. Using rulers, they measure various solids on display. In groups, they play an identification game where one students names a location, such as the...

Learners brainstorm what matter is and how they define it. They construct a water molecule with marshmallows and toothpicks. In addition, they watch videos to explore the use the idea of nanoscience to investigate the properties of...

In this chemistry of ice cream worksheet, students investigate colligative properties and how they affect freezing points while making ice cream. Students answer short answer questions to determine if freezing is an endothermic or...

Eighth graders make inquiry about the existence of matter. A definition of the word is needed before students can engage in various activities. The application of knowing about matter is done in the working of experiments.

In this physical and chemical change activity, students solve 13 clues in a crossword puzzle focusing on rates of chemical reactions and changes in the state of matter.
