Acid Rain: The Disappearing Statue

Gardeners are given an individual plant specimen from a bouquet of local rain garden plants. They group up by their plant type and then make observations together, name the plant, and introduce it to the rest of the class. You then share...

Little chemists observe the effects of acid on calcium carbonate as an example of chemical change. As a demonstration you will place a raw egg in vinegar overnight, and as a lab activity, learners drip vinegar onto a piece of chalk....

Students analyze the causes of corrosion. In this chemistry lesson plan, students investigate what is necessary to cause chemical changes in matter. Students discover the causes of rust and tooth decay.

Students investigate acid rain. In this environmental instructional activity, students participate in an experiment using litmus paper and various liquids and then test the acidity of the liquids. Students identify reasons why acid is...

Students combine different materials to create chemical reactions. In this chemical reaction lesson plan, students will combine different materials to create chemical reactions and define these results as acids or bases. They will also...

Integrate math, science, and speaking/listening with a collaborative hands-on activity. Each group works with a single penny, examining it with the naked eye and recording observations. Repeat using magnifying glasses. Then repeat with a...

Kids get the dirt on worms by building a vermicomposter and observing, over time, the changes red worms make in the soil in the bin.

Pupils become plants in an interpretive play that depicts what happens throughout the seasons in a rain garden. As you narrate, students bloom, flower, and go to seed accordingly. The lesson is first in a series of lessons written for...

Understand how chemical reactions recombine atoms to create the "chemicals of life". An experiment, showing the basic chemical reactions of an iron nail or a match, helps young children start their understanding of permanent changes.

Students watch and predict chemical reactions when different substances are mixed together. They differentiate between solid, liquid, and gas.
