Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D shapes.  Students...

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

In this density laboratory worksheet, students complete 2 prior knowledge questions, then use the "Density Laboratory Gizmo" to complete several activities, answering short answer questions when finished.

Young scholars observe and experiment with the concept of density. This is done using a simple experiment that helps them to apply scientific principles of observation and proving a hypothesis.

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Young scholars work with a partner to record observations on various materials. Working together, they calculate the mass and volume of each material and then combine them and shake them for a period of time. In their journals, they...

In this magnetic energy worksheet, students are given the formula to calculate the magnetic energy of an object. They use the formula to solve for the magnetic energy of the Earth, a geotail, the Sun, and a solar prominence given their...

In this mineral identification worksheet, students read nine vocabulary words and answer 5 short answer and fill-in-the-blank questions regarding minerals. There are four additional pages of related activities. 

In this significant figure worksheet, students read six diagrams of a graduated cylinder to the proper number of significant figures. They then go to twelve lab stations and record the proper measurement to the appropriate number of...

In this porosity and permeability activity, students experiment with different types of soils such as sand, gravel, pebbled and rocks. They put each soil type in a beaker and pour water in being sure to measure the amount of water they...

In this science instructional activity, students concentrate on attaining new knowledge of the science standard using the creative medium of games and puzzles.

Students investigate Archimedes' Principle and show how it relates to density. For this Archimedes' Principle lesson plan, students experiment with a beaker of water, a Styrofoam "boat" and a weight. They predict what will happen when...

In this solid rocket boosters activity, students solve 2 problems using a grid showing a cross section of a proposed solid rocket booster. Students complete the grid and shade the rings of combustion in 15-second step intervals. They...

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define surface area, net and lateral face. They calculate the surface areas of cones, prisms and cubes. There are 9 surface area questions.

Students develop a comprehension of parts per million as a concept. They work in teams to create successive dilutions of a solution to reach a parts-per-million concentration. Students list what they think the atmosphere is made of. They...

In this scientific method activity, learners read over the basic steps of the scientific method and then apply those steps to a specific example. This activity has 8 short answer questions.

In this calculations instructional activity, students find significant figures in numbers, they determine densities of substances and objects, they convert from one metric unit to another and they determine the appropriate unit of...

In this calculations review worksheet, students convert from one metric unit to another, they identify significant figures in numbers, they find density of substances, and they solve problems using dimensional analysis.

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

Students identify sources and importance of sound, discuss sounds heard on way to school, explain why sound waves can be "seen", and participate in various classroom activities and experiments that illustrate how sound travels.

Students perform two experiments to show the properties of enzymes. They use pectinase to produce apple juice from applesauce to show enzyme action and then taste the difference between raw and boiled papaya seeds as evidence of enzyme...

In this care homework worksheet, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers.  They multiply and divide fractions.  Students complete percent problems and determine the area of polygons.  This three-page...

In this algebra worksheet, students manipulate integers to add, subtract, multiply and divide using order of operation. They rewrite word problems and solve for the unknown. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

Learners complete a unit of activities to learn about states of matter and how to measure matter. For this matter lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about matter, its states, and how to measure matter.
