Curated OER
Ice Cube Experiment
Students explore the rate at which ice melts. In this science lesson, students place ice cubes on colored index cards and place them in direct sunlight. Students observe which ice cubes melt fastest and slowest.

Cut Ice Cubes in Half Like Magic
Students explore the process of melting or cutting ice. In this scientific observation lesson, students discover that the pressure from two weights will pull a string through an ice cube by melting the ice directly under the line of...
Curated OER
Ice
Students examine the different propereties of ice, such as freezing temperature. In this scientific lesson students complete several activities using ice, like making ice cream.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore water and how it changes forms. In this investigative lesson plan students participate in an activity that shows them how water changes form and what it looks and feels like.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore the forms of water. In this physics lesson, students use ice cubes and observe what happens when the ice melts. Students freeze the water again and record observations.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students perform experiments in pairs to visualize the changes in water during freezing and melting. In this properties of water lesson, students use their senses and inquiry tools to understand the changes in state of water. Suggested...
Curated OER
Ice Eggs
Students melt colored ice cubes which are created from a funnel, balloons, water, and food coloring. In this ice lesson plan, students put food coloring into water in a balloon, freeze it, and see how the food coloring ended up making...
Curated OER
Chills And Thrills
Young scholars learn what happens when ice melts. They explore melting, and devise ways of speeding up and slowing down the melting process.

Help Save the Polar Bear
Students use ice cubes to demonstrate how the polar ice caps are melting and how it effects the polar bears. In this polar bear lesson plan, the teacher explains how polar bears live on the north pole and how they are having trouble due...
Curated OER
Sand & Water: Arctic in the Sun
Students chill out on a hot day with this outdoor activity. In this early childhood physical education lesson, students have fun experimenting through play with ice and toy animals in water.
Curated OER
Water Magic
Students conduct experiments with ice, water and steam to observe the water cycle. They discuss substances that water accumulates from the Earth as it moves through its cycle.
Curated OER
Cool Stuff
Young scientists must place a check mark next to the answer they think is correct regarding things that are warm, cool, hard, and soft. This would be a good way to begin discussing how some things actually change states of matter...
Curated OER
Experiment with Liquids
Students examine how a liquid takes on the shape of the container it is in.
Curated OER
Experiment with Liquids
Students pour liquids into various containers to discover that liquid takes the shape of the container it is in.
Curated OER
Do Different Colors Absorb Heat Better?
Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.
Curated OER
Weather "Whys"
Students explore the weather. In this weather data lesson, students collect weather data from Internet and media sources. Students graph the collected data discuss it as well as the seasons of the year.
