In this acceleration worksheet, students use weights to increase the mass affecting the force on moving objects. Students plot a graph of their data and answer 3 questions about how the acceleration of the toy skateboard used in the...

Students design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

Young scholars experiment to observe air and its mass.  In this air lesson, students use the scientific method to complete experiments that demonstrate the properties of air. Young scholars view a video as follow-up.

Students demonstrate the process of creating a scaled rubber band enlargement of a simple drawing. They observe and discuss a teacher-led demonstration, and create a scaled rubber band enlargement of simple drawings and their invention...

In this chemistry worksheet, students solve 47 problems involving measurement conversions from one unit to another. They explain how values should be reported from measurements.

Young scholars study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur.  For this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create...

Learners, using wood blocks and model boats, investigate how the shape of an object affects friction it encounters as it is drawn through a towing tank.

Young scholars investigate calorimetry and set up equipment to measure calories. In this calorimetry lesson plan, students make a calorimeter and compare large amounts of heated water with small amounts to show the difference in...

Students will use everyday items and speeds to describe the dimensions of a massive flood that occurred in the Pacific Northwest near the end of the last ice age.

Young scholars investigate the engineering design process and the relationship between distance, time, and speed. Using a generic car base, small groups design a device that will protect an egg on or in the car as it is rolled down a...

Second graders investigate the properties of solids and discover how to classify them. Using rulers, they measure various solids on display. In groups, they play an identification game where one students names a location, such as the...

Students make detailed observations and identify an unknown using descriptions.  For this observation lesson students are given a creature and must be able to identify it by species and genus.

For this pressure worksheet, students find the pressure of objects using the equation for pressure. They find the pressure of air in the atmosphere and the pressure of water in the ocean at different depths.

Learners experiment in small groups to answer the question, "Is there a relationship between ramps and speed?" They apply a formula to calculate the speed of the cars used in the experiment, complete the associate lab report, and...

Second graders discover that everything is made of matter. they determine the properties of liquids and that like solids, liquids can be grouped or classified according to properties or qualities. they assess that solids have a definite...

Use a lab sheet on circuit diagrams in your electricity unit. Fifth graders draw two series circuits with diagrams, based on two examples. A science experiment prompts learners to use 3x5 cards to illustrate the way a series circuit works.

In this redox reaction worksheet, high schoolers perform a redox titration to determine the number of iodide ions that react with each mole of iodate (V) ions in a solution. They calculate their answer using a given equation.

Lars in Antarctica needs help. Can you help him with all the months of the year and with mass?

Students learn the difference between weight and mass. Practice problems are included to check for comprehension of the concept.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

This task challenges a student to use understanding of measurement to convert accurately between units of weight.

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

Think about the relationships between weight and size of similar objects. This interactive exercise focuses on using critical thinking skills and estimation skills to predict how many mini and regular gummy bears it takes to have the...
