As the most abundant element on the earth, hydrogen requires no replacement. Yet scholars learn to replace hydrogen with a metal to liberate the hydrogen gas. A simple procedure and data table include the necessary information and...

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

In this colligative properties and chemical equilibria worksheet, students answer twenty questions including ranking solutions base on their colligative properties and determining what must happen to a reaction to reach equilibrium.

In this phases learning exercise, learners rank the chemical compounds by decreasing vapor pressure. Students use a phase diagram to determine if water undergoes any phase transitions during the four steps described. This learning...

In this gases worksheet, students solve twenty problems using the gas laws and their understanding of the relationship between energy and temperature and energy and velocity.

Students observe methods by which air can crush aluminum cans. As water in the can boils and is sealed, the can collapses as it cools. When the procedure is reversed, the can expands to its original shape. After the alternate experiment,...

For this phase diagram worksheet, students complete 7 fill in the blank questions about three different diagrams. Triple point, critical pressure, and critical temperature for water and carbon dioxide are examples of items identified on...

Learners investigate the factors affecting climate using Live Access Server. In this geography lesson, students graph atmospheric data using Excel spreadsheet. They compare and contrast temperature, precipitation and water vapor of two...

In this equilibrium worksheet, students solve eight problems including determining the effects of changes to a system as it related to Le Chatelier Principle, calculating equilibrium constants and finding boiling points of solutions.

In this weather worksheet, students review vocabulary words and concepts associated with predicting the weather. Students understand what a meteorologist studies. This worksheet has 7 matching, 10 fill in the blank, and 5 short answer...

Students explore how clouds are produced through three different age-appropriate hands-on experiments.

Students investigate the gas laws and how they apply to changes in gases. In this gas laws lesson, students use Boyle's Law and Charles' law to show the relationships between pressure and volume and volume and temperature of gases.

Earth's atmosphere is full of different energies, from thermal to wind to electromagnetic radiation. Through the presentation, class members discover these energies and how they determine weather patterns.

Did you know many insects use cohesion or surface tension to walk on water? Using a presentation, scholars learn the more important properties of water. It extends into the concepts of solutions, suspensions, pH, and more.

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...

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.

Upper elementary meteorologists take a glance at what a hurricane is and how it is formed. Because this does not get into the differences in air pressure that drive the associated winds, it may not be useful for older learners. The...

In this chemistry worksheet, students calculate the freezing point of a given solution. Students calculate the final temperature and state of the water in a given problem. Students solve several problems provided.

Steam engines have been around since the late 1600s, yet most pupils don't know how they work. Using an soda can, the instructor builds a simple steam engine for scholars to observe. Through a discussion, young scientists learn about the...

Students read and conduct and experiment to learn about rain formation. In this water forms lesson plan, students read about the formation of rain and its purposes. Students then complete a rain experiment activity.

In this weather worksheet, students reviews terms associated with measuring different weather phenomena plus draw examples of different types of fronts on a weather map. This worksheet has 5 true or false, 15 matching, 21 multiple...

Students demonstrate a cloud formation and the relation between pressure and temperature in gases. They explain how clouds could be created in space settlements and see the relation between pressure and temperature in gases.

Students discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.

Do solids, liquids, and gases even matter? The presentation focuses on changes in matter, including phases, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and physical changes.
