In this metric units and properties worksheet, students determine the proper metric unit given a variety of measurements for specific items. They also identify chemical and physical properties and chemical and physical changes.

A table of the physical properties of metals and non-metals opens this high-school chemistry handout. Also covered are the chemical properties of metals and non-metals, reactivity, and fossil fuels. There are no specific questions to...

Students determine the base metals and surface metals in a penny. In this analysis of metals lesson plan, students determine the density of five pennies minted in different years. They use different chemicals such as hydrochloric acid,...

Young scholars explore the physical and chemical properties of matter including phase changes and physical and chemical transitions. Information gathered is imported into video and edited to produce a movie.

Middle schoolers introduced to the interior structure of the Earth. They explore how the Earth's interior is broken down according to both it's physical properties and it's chemical composition. Students explore how convection currents...

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.

To guide learners through observations of chemical samples in the lab, this resource asks them to give all formulas and complete the attached data sheet.  There are multiple questions about categories of elements and general behavior, 

Each of the tables on these pages has a list of substances that pupils need to identify as having a particular chemical or physical property. Some of the choices include kinetic or potential energy, heterogeneous or homogenous mixture,...

Compliment your lesson with this periodic table presentation. The slides are clear summarizing the origins and main details of the periodic table very nicely.  The overall appearance, images, and bullet points are logical and some nice...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students answer questions about the periodic table, and differentiate between properties, states of matter, physical changes.

Middle schoolers compare types of chemical change. For this chemical reaction lesson, students use a variety of household items to investigate different types of chemical change. Middle schoolers will engage in a discussion about the...

Students investigate the properties of sweeteners. In this chemical property lesson, students examine the unique properties of sweeteners by performing several experiments. They will analyze the data to form a conclusion about the...

Students analyze the relationship between density, buoyancy, and salinity. For this chemical properties lesson, students read a background activity for the lesson and experiments to the topics. Students discuss the questions and complete...

Sixth graders complete several experiments about chemical and physical changes. In this physical and chemical science lesson, 6th graders complete 6 experiments about chemical and physical changes. Students examine the processes of...

Students experiment with filtering, evaporating, dissolving materials, and recognizing physical properties of common substances.   In this culminating matter lesson, students manipulate supplies to try and separate a variety of...

Students investigate the chemical composition of pennies dated 1983 or later. In this chemical composition of American coins lesson plan, students scratch the surface of the penny to expose the zinc core. They put the penny in...

Students construct a periodic table using felt strips as elements by arranging elements based on their characteristics. For this periodic table lesson plan, students place colored strips of paper that represent elements in the proper...

Students investigate the properties of elements and periodicity. For this periodicity lesson plan, students observe a bag of 'elements' which are different fruits and classify them in groups and periods, show the periodic relationships...

Students use the scientific method to determine physical and chemical properties of unknown substances. For this scientific method lesson plan, students discuss chemical and physical properties of substances as a class after a...

In this chemical and physical change worksheet, students use a sugar cube and observe its physical properties both when it is whole and after it is crushed. They heat the sugar cube and record 5 properties of the matter while being...

In this chemical change worksheet, learners conduct 4 experiments set up around the room. They follow the instructions at each station for each experiment and list the physical properties and observe any changes at each station. Students...

In this properties of matter activity, students ask a parent or adult at home for a noun. Students then list the physical properties, the chemical properties, the extensive properties and the intensive properties of the noun. Students...

In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 6 questions related to matter. They classify and categorize given statements as chemical or physical properties, they identify chemical and physical changes and they find the...

In this matter worksheet, students compare and contrast chemical and physical properties and explain the relationship between a pure substance and a mixture. Students review the properties of metals and nonmetals. This worksheet has 1...
