Magnets

Second graders classify objects and create hypotheses regarding their magnetic properties. They watch a video about magnets and finally use a magnet to test their hypotheses created earlier.

Students explore magnetism. They make observations of everyday items regarding their magnetic attraction and use their experiences to make a prediction.

Students discuss the properties of solids and liquids. They complete a worksheet to show the boiling and melting points of several substances and consider if these factors affect how humans use materials.

Students learn the importance of caring for eggs as they hatch chickens. In this egg hatching lesson, students observe what happens when eggs are hatched into chickens by completing a e-worksheet and watching a web based movie.

Students make observations about mealworms using hand lenses, rulers, and cotton swabs. Students complete their own mealworm observation chart, then they share their observations with the class. This is one station out of five in an...

Young scholars explore the observable properties of matter and utilize them in classification. They use a binary classification system to divide objects, then justify their scheme.

Students explore the observable properties of matter. They develop two binary classification systems using concrete objects. based on two different properties of the concrete objects.

Students will make a circuit on a mystery card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and battery to form an electrical tester. After students learn how to make one following the directions, they can create their own mystery card by...

Students create a classification tree based on grouping candy with eight different properties. This allows students to understand how living things are classified.

Young scholars make a circuit on a mystery card. They then use an electrical tester to determine where electricity flows between circles on the card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and a battery to form an electrical tester.
