Fun in the Sun
Students freeze colored water. In this art lesson, students take the blocks of ice out of the freezer, put the blocks into a small pool and watch the ice melt.
Curated OER
Air is something
Students recognize that air has the properties of mass and volume. They predict, observe, and evaluate the effect of the air on various objects, using bubbles and bubble wands.
Curated OER
Oobleck
Second graders observe the properties of Oobleck. In this science and observation lesson plan, 2nd graders examine Oobleck and make a list of 10 properties that they notice. They explain their observations.
Curated OER
Colored Drops
Young scholars examine the properties of a liquid that contains water and food coloring and a liquid that contains water, food coloring and a liquid detergent. They interpret their data, describe properties, and make reasonable...
Curated OER
Density: Float or Sink
Pupils discover density. For this density lesson, students discover the properties of objects that allow them to float or sink in water.
Curated OER
Introduce Solids
Middle schoolers identify and interpret a variety of solid materials - cloth, wood, metal, plastic, paper, and rubber. After a period of free exploration, they then describe the properties of the objects and develop vocabulary in order...
Curated OER
The"Dirt" on Soil
Young scholars examine the three different types of soil and their physical properties. In this soil lesson plan students design and implement a model of a water treatment plant.
Curated OER
Mystery Paint
Students use the scientific method to determine the properties of various kinds of paints, use collected data to identify paint samples that are not properly labeled and use proper science safety techniques while working with chemical...
Curated OER
Matter
Third graders are introduced to the topic of matter. As a class, they brainstorm what they already know about matter and its properties. After completing a worksheet, they participate in an experiment in which they observe matter in...
