In this science worksheet, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of significant figures in...

In this greenhouse effect worksheet, students experiment with how the greenhouse effect affects the Earth's temperature by using thermometers, a plastic bag, cans, and water. Students also answer 4 questions.

In this temperature worksheet, students compare and contrast the 2 scales used to measure temperature: Fahrenheit scale and Celsius scale. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Second graders examine the front cover of the book, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NURSE and discuss with a friend about a time they visited the hospital. They then read the book together as a class and review events. They make a list as a class...

Eighth graders explore how to read a thermometer. They convert temperature between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Students explain that Celsius is used in the Scientific community and Fahrenheit is used basically only in the United...

Students watch the teacher do a demonstration of density with diet and regular soda. Note: try this first, as different types of artificial sweetener have different densities. Students discuss density and volume. They discuss "Relational...

Young scholars gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. young scholars interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from...

Students participate in an outdoor activity in which they make direct but safe observations of the Sun. Students use a solar cell and voltmeter apparatus to collect data on the amount of DC voltage produced by the solar cell during a...

Students determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas. In this molar volume lesson plan, students find the molar volume of hydrogen produced in a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. They use a eudiometer to measure the volume...

Learners investigate how energy travels through glass. In this energy usage lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they decide if window film affects how much energy travels through the glass. Learners use a journal to make...

Students measure the amount of calories in food. In this food energy lesson, students discuss what a calorie is, how our bodies use a calorie, and how many we need. Then, students use a calorimeter to calculate the amount of energy in a...

Second graders experiment with a thermometer and water samples of varying temperatures. They examine the effect different colors and different fabrics have on retaining heat. They examine snow samples for water and dirt content. They...

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

Learners of light will construct a contraption in which light is passed through a prism and shone into a box. The temperatures at different points along the path and outside of the path of light. The intent is to imitate William...

How does heat move from one item to another, even when the items are in different states of matter? Pupils experiment with adding washers to hot water and adding hot washers to room temperature water to observe the heat transfer. 

How does the color of a surface affect the heating of the earth? Middle school science classes experiment with color and surface albedo to determine the relationship. The website has tabs for an overview, teacher's instructions,...

Pupils explore the concept of the coordinate plane. In this coordinate plane lesson, students discuss integers and their place on the number line. Pupils discuss locating points on the coordinate plane. Students play tic-tac-toe by...

Weather — there's more to it than meets the eye of the storm. With this resource young meteorologists learn about the basics of weather, including information about the factors that influence the weather, common weather vocabulary,...

In this scientific investigation learning exercise, students follow the provided procedures to examine the temperature reading of wet and dry thermometers and then respond to 5 questions.

Learners identify the characteristics of birds and explain how these characteristics are useful in their survival. They explain how both physical and environmental adaptations help birds survive and reproduce. Students create an...

Students record observations gathered while at a national wildlife refuge. In this lesson on wildlife refuges, students choose an observation spot and record seasonal changes throughout the year.

Students practice using a thermometer to determine how the air around the earth gets heated and cooled by the sun. Students chart the daily inside and outside temperature for two weeks.

In this Celsius word problem worksheet, students solve word problems by shading the thermometers to show the temperatures and writing the temperature in degrees Celsius. Students solve four word problems.
