Water, one of the basic needs of humans, is found in all three states of matter on Earth; no other planet—that we know of—possesses this quality. Here is a unit that allows learners to explore through experimentation what it...

Blow the minds of young scientists with this collection of inquiry-based investigations. Based on a series of eight videos, these "hands-on, minds-on" science lessons engage young learners in exploring a wide range of topics...

Take a "conservative" approach to planning your next unit on mass and matter! What better way to answer "But where did the gas go?" than with a lab designed to promote good report writing, research skills, and detailed observation....

Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.

In this Cyberchase Media Gallery, explore key concepts about liquid volume, including standard units of liquid measure and how to convert between them. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create a complete conversion chart...

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints, watch a tutorial video, and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure...

Surface tension accounts for many of the interesting properties we associate with water. By learning about surface tension and adhesive forces, students learn why liquid jets of water break into droplets rather than staying in a...
