Students investigate the organisms of bacteria. They are given a culture of bacteria that can be observed under a microscope. The students make observations that are recorded. The lesson includes the mention of specific safety...

In this physical equilibrium instructional activity, students compare polar and non-polar compounds and the solubility of specific solutes in solvents. Students calculate molar heat, molar solubility, and molality for specific reactions....

Students explore hot, warm, and cold. For this temperature lesson, students use thermometers to find specific temperatures. Students also consider how colored items absorb heat as they participate in a demonstration.

Young scholars complete activities to learn about changing air temperature. In this air temperature lesson, students study various ways to measure air temperature and learn factors that influence temperature. Young scholars study the...

In this chemical equations activity, students are given the trends for the reactions between the alkaline earth metals with water, the solubility of the Group II hydroxides and the solubility of the Group II sulphates.

Eighth graders analyze questions posted on a large poster in the room and work in groups to record their response to the question on paper, rotating to the next question after two minutes have passed. They review the characteristics of...

Students recognize that global winds move in specific directions in specific latitudes and describe that in a written form. They relate the motion of the wind belts to historical navigation.

In this science worksheet, 3rd graders focus on the weather. Students respond to ten fill in the blank questions regarding specific terminology used in weather.

Students identify the contents of a glacier like those found in Patagonia. They construct a mini glacier model in class. Students compare and contrast the classroom model with Patagonian glaciers. They label specific parts of the...

Students, in groups, experiment with Heat Blanching, Vitamin C Dip, and Sulfur Dioxide Dip to see if they can prevent enzymatic browning.

Learners research and describe how currents are formed. In groups, they relate specific terms to the formation of currents and locate different currents on a world map. They also examine tides, how they are formed and how they are...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students calculate the enthalpy required to produce a specific mass of product. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

Fourth graders determine how weathering, specifically ice, snow, and freezing water change the Earth's surface and rocks. After completing the investigations, they explain how heating and cooling expand and contract marbles until cracks...

Students compare and contrast conditions on Mars to those on our own planet, specifically, their local or regional environments. The physical characteristics, the atmosphere, and other astronomical data is considered.

In this El Nino worksheet, students review this specific change in the climate cycle by completing 20 short answer questions.
