Curated OER
Ice Energy
Students observe the chemical reaction that occurs when salt is put on ice, and use the energy that is released to make ice cream.
Curated OER
Walking on Thin Ice
Students examine scientific evidence of changes in the Arctic ice cover. They participate in a simulation of an international conference and debate the relationship between global warming and changes in the arctic ice cover.
Curated OER
Iced In
Introduce junior oceanographers to ice conditions in The Great Lakes. The ice map links are no longer available, so you will not be able to have your class perform the mentioned data activity. You can, however, access the Canadian Ice...
Curated OER
Breaking it Down
Students discover how water expands when frozen during a glacier. In this matter lesson, students fill a glass jar with water, leaving no room for air in the jar and place it in the freezer. Students retrieve the jar and notice the...
Curated OER
Melting Ice
Students examine the various forms that ice can take. In this melting ice lesson plan students view videos on climate and global warming.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students observe what happens to water as it goes from a solid to a liquid. In this exploratory lesson students gain an understanding for the water cycle while working in groups observing what happens to water as it changes state.
Curated OER
Earthquakes
Students observe the melting of ice. In this phase change lesson, students observe ice as it melts. They discuss the process and create a Venn diagram comparing water and ice.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Young scholars observe, measure, and communicate while observing water convert from a solid to a liquid and back again. In this solid and liquid lesson plan, students answer questions as they observe this change.
Curated OER
Sea Ice: Cracking the Egg Code
Students study the egg code to learn about sea ice. For this sea ice lesson, students discuss and view a diagram to learn about the egg code when describing sea ice and its thickness. Students work in groups to play a game using the egg...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Learners study the liquid and solid states of water. In this water states lesson, students complete three experiments to study water as it cycles from a liquid state to a solid state and back. Learners finish with a Venn Diagram...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students conduct an experiment. In this forms of water lesson, students observe ice to see what changes take place and then write in their journal about what they observed.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Young scholars explore the states of matter. In this physical science instructional activity, students observe what happens to water when it freezes and record observations. Young scholars then observe ice when it melts and record...
Curated OER
Water 1: Water and Ice
Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students complete a hands-on activity that replicates the water cycle. Students record their observations.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Learners observe and discuss the change of water to ice and back again. In this water and ice instructional activity, students observe the change in temperature and what happens when water freezes and turns to ice and vice versa.
Curated OER
Changing State
In this changing water states instructional activity, students look at the graphics and then fill in the blanks that pertain to water, ice, and steam. A word bank is provided.
Curated OER
Cold Hard Facts? What Inquiring Minds Will Know -- Inquiry-Based Ice Investigations
Students are introduced to the concepts of perimter, diameter, circumference and measurements. In groups, they complete two worksheets in which they determine if the ice dimensions make a difference in the way it floats. They discuss...
Curated OER
To Be Salty Sea Ice Or Not
Students explore what type of solutions freeze. They design their own experiments to compare how fresh water and salt water freezes. In addition, they write their observations in a journal and complete analysis questions.
Curated OER
Under the Ice: Imaging Glacier Bases with Sound
Students investigate with radio waves that are used to remotely sense the topography beneath the ice sheet. They experiment with travel time of waves and convert data to distance and depth. As a result, they develop a profile of the...
Curated OER
Ice Earrings Activity
Students put a piece of string between 2 ice cubes and fuse them together with pressure. In this ice lesson plan, students see how the cubes stick together.
Curated OER
Will The Ice Melt and Overflow?
Students observe what happens when ice in a glass of water starts to melt. In this ice lesson plan, students see that the ice does not make the water overflow, it simply occupies the space it did in frozen form.
Curated OER
Mass of Water vs. Ice
Students examine how ice changes state and when its volume changes. In this mass lesson students complete a lab that shows them how waters volume can change.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students will work in small groups, observing an ice cube and recording a description, the feel of the ice, and how it looks when put in another container. Students observe changes in the ice over 15 minute intervals, then freeze the...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Learners study the water cycle and states of matter. In this water cycle lesson, students observe ice for a period of time and record their observations. Learners create a Venn Diagram comparing water in solid form and liquid form....
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.
