Students observe changes in a penny when it is cleaned. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students use a dixie cup filled with vinegar and salt, and drop the penny into the water. Students observe the changes.

Students clean pennies and determine why one substance cleans better. In this lesson about acids and bases, students experiment how to clean a penny. Students use four different solutions to clean their pennies. Students will also test...

Young scholars polish pennies. In this Science lesson, students experiment with cleaning the oxidation off of pennies with a variety of liquids. Young scholars record their observations.

Students perform an experiment that demonstrates acid rain. The chemical effect of acids on metals may take at least five days for the human eye to see, even though the reaction starts as soon as the acid contacts the metal.

Third graders experiment with coins and water to explore light rays.  For this light and water lesson, 3rd graders work in pairs to observe what happens with a coin in water or how it appears based on the density of the water....

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

Young scholars explore the unique behaviors of water. They investigate surface tension using water drops on a penny and pennies dropped in a cup.

Young scholars experiment with transition metals.  In this transition metals lesson students find the common properties of transition metals and conduct an experiment using one of them.  Young scholars then answer questions...

Fifth graders study air pressure and learn how it can change the weather. In this air pressure lesson, 5th graders study the given diagrams and complete the experiments to learn how air pressure can change the weather. Students read...

Students explore solid, liquids, and gases. For this science lesson plan, students distinguish similarities and differences of matter and recognize that different states of matter may appear in one substance.

Students investigate the concepts of oxidation and corrosion. They identify different metals and forms of corrosion.

Young scholars examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets.
