Students find the density of two substances. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of water and ethyl alcohol and compare their densities. They enter their data into the computer to produce a class compiled graph....

Students take a quick examine part of the water cycle, and the combined gas laws. The instructional activity lead them through the conditions necessary for cloud formation and allow them to create clouds in three different hands-on...

Students listen to a portion of Handel's Water Music Suite and hypothesize about what would happen if you tapped on the edge of a glass with varying levels of water. They experiment with the glasses and, in small groups, compose their...

Students use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

Learners find the area of a region between two curves. They integrate functions such as sin(x) and cos(x) on a given interval and find the area bounded by the two functions. Pupils use their TI-89 to aid them in finding the bounded...

In this salt front of the Hudson River worksheet, 7th graders first read an excerpt about the lower portion of the Hudson River that is an estuary. Then they use a colored pencil to plot salinity data from the table shown on a graph,...

In this SI units worksheet, students read about the System International of measurement and answer questions about given measurements. They indicate if given measurements are equal and they convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Young scholars observe 2 demonstrations of density. In this density lesson plan, students observe a vial with various substances of different densities. Young scholars then observe the differences between a diet coke and a regular coke...

Students investigate why and how popcorn pops. In this gas lesson plan, students observe and make suggestions as to what causes popcorn to pop after observing popped corn and corn kernels. Students mass the kernels before and after...

Students identify inverse variations. In this inverse variation lesson, students explore graphs and identify the inverse variation. They write equations for the inverse variation. Students compare and contrast the inverse variation...

Students explore Boyle's Law. In this Boyle's Law lesson, students complete problems involving Boyle's Law. They examine the effects of Boyle's Law upon the human body. Students use the Internet to complete a lab activity.
