Students observe how salinity affects the time it takes water to freeze. They participate in an experiment to determine that ice is essentially salt-free whether formed from fresh or salt water

Hands on science is the way to go! Learners conduct a lab experiment to help them explain how plants make food through photosynthesis. They test for the presence of starch in leaves using iodine solution and identify the basic things...

In this crystals activity, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the characteristics of the different crystal types including melting/boiling point and electrical conductivity.

Students complete a variety of activities to learn about crystals. In this crystals lesson plan, students paint with a crystal solution, pan for crystals, grow crystals, and more.

For this complex salt worksheet, learners create teraamminecopper(II) sulfate · 1 · 2H₂O using copper(II) sulfate, concentrated ammonia, and ethanol. Students determine the formula mass for their product, the theoretical yield of the...

In this recognizing the water cycle cloze activity activity, students use the words in the word box to fill in the blanks about evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Students write 23 answers.

Students conduct an experiment which illustrates applications of chemistry in our everyday world.

Learners observe crystal growth of Epsom salts and the variables that hinder or help their nucleation and growth. They illustrate a series of drawings/pictures as the crystals grow. They look for the different shapes they form as well...

Fifth graders read the book, 'Snowflake Bentley' by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. They gather and make a list of information about snowflakes and crystals. Then they make their own real crystal snowflake creation and observe the crystals...

Students investigate water vapor. They view and analyze photos, conduct Internet research, and analyze the total water vapor/total liquid water data plot.

Students study and examine crystal shape. They create the two basic unit cells (one a tetrahedron) out of pipe cleaners and dip them into soapy water to see if they can form bubbles to represent a silicon atom in the center of a...

Students explore the effects of pollution on water supply and how to identify safe drinking water. They test different samples of water over regular intervals and analyze the results to see if they are cyclical or represent a growing...

Students are introduced to the components and importance of the water cycle. They are shown how groundwater moves using a model. Students list 9 places on earth where water is found. They define the terms cycle and water cycle.

Fourth graders study the water cycle in nature. In this water cycle instructional activity, 4th graders review the hydrologic cycle by reading the poem. Students then study a picture of the hydrologic cycle and fill in the blanks with...

High schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with the water cycle and different states of matter. They conduct research using a variety of resources in preparation for taking a quiz. Then students take the quiz in correlation to...

The earth sciences are the focus for this Jeopardy-style review game. Categories include geology, space, scientific investigation, meteorology, and oceanography. Diagrams and pictures are involved with most of the questions, making this...

After reading an informational text detailing the ins and outs of snowflakes, scholars draw their own special design then work cooperatively to role play a snowman building scenario. 

Want to learn some quick facts about Victorian England? Check out a series of fact cards that include information about class structure, education rights, public health, and Queen Victoria herself.

Students observe crystals under the microscope. In this science lesson, students compare how the crystal look like using their eyes, hand lens and microscope. They identify the type of crystal based on the amount of light they allow to...

Fifth graders carefully examine and investigate the products contained in a diaper. They particularly analyze the crystal sodium polyacrylate, a product developed for use in astronaut diapers. They follow the scientific method, forming...

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.
