Students investigate the ingredients and creation of chewing gum.  In this scientific method lesson, students make predictions about what will happen to the mass of a piece of gum as it is chewed by a human.  Students graph the...

Fifth graders determine volume and density through their knowledge of mass, volume and density.

In this chemistry worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to chemistry. There are nine words/phrases located in the puzzle to find.

Students discover a pattern to mysterious eggs made by their teacher. In this mass instructional activity, students must uncover a secret pattern given plastic eggs and a balance. Students find the eggs have been created with a...

Students observe a demonstration of regular soda versus diet soda.  In this exploring density instructional activity students complete a lab on density and present a PowerPoint presentations of their results.

Students research the concepts of center of mass and how to make different things balance. They make symmetrical cut-outs of different "creatures" and experiment with how they balance on a tightrope of string.

Students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and how momentum is conserved. In this physics lesson plan, students observe experiments in which various items collide. Students draw conclusions as to how "momentum" defined as "mass X velocity"...

Learners measure objects effectively using standard units, They examine how consistency in the units used allows for easier and more accurate communication of mass measures.

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson plan, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five...

Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle instructional activity, students simulate the water cycle by placing an ice cube in a Ziploc bag and observing the changes which occur over time. Students record the mass of the...

Students measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.

Young scholars investigate the law of gravity and how an object can accelerate while going through a free fall. They examine the influence of air resistance and how it can influence the momentum of an object. The lesson contains...

In this science worksheet, learners read passages and derive the meaning from them to answer three key questions related to mass and weight.

Students participate in lessons on Forces and Newton's Laws by selecting activities and assignments to complete in a Layer Unit. Students select assignments and activities in the C Level, B Level, and A Level.

Students conduct toboggan time trials to investigate the variables that have the greatest effect on toboggan speed. In small groups, they develop a hypothesis to test and perform three trials on the toboggan run for each variable.

Fifth graders investigate how forces affect the motion of an object. In this physics instructional activity, 5th graders calculate an object's speed using a mathematical formula. They discuss how force and mass affects the speed.

Students study the concepts of motion, velocity, and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They explain the difference between speed and velocity using the weather vane example. They discover the difference...

Students identify what mass is and how to measure an object with a balance in gram units. Students identify weight and how to measure with a spring scale in units of force. Students compare the masses of two objects by placing each on...

Use this crossword puzzle to test your learners' knowledge of scientific instruments. The majority of the instruments included on this puzzle are related to earth science, so that would be the ideal setting in which to use this resource....

Students weigh and record the mass of various objects, and then compare the weights of objects by holding gram weights in one hand and the object in the other hand.

In this tons and pounds worksheet, students research the weight of 5 vehicles and record the tons in a chart, then multiply to find the weight in pounds. Students also answer an additional 3 related questions.

In this physics review learning exercise, learners complete 42 matching, fill in blank, and problem solving questions pertaining to Newton's laws, force formulas, distance formulas, and simple machines.
