Each color holds its own feeling and these feelings are used to describe the four seasons. Youngsters create a color palate based on the four seasons, assigning various colors to each season. They each create four clay tiles, painting...

Students experiment with different salinities of water using straws and different colors of water. They collect and interpret data from the experiment.

Young scholars conduct a series of experiments to observe factors that impact molecular movement. In this molecular chemistry lesson, students drop food coloring in water with different properties (hot, with ice, with alcohol) and...

Students determine which of the following parameters, slope, ice, temperature or basal condition affects the glacier speed the most. They create their own experiment to test what influences glacier speed and temperature of the ice.

Autumn is a time for nature to get ready for the upcoming winter. After listening to the book Time to Sleep about the changes of deciduous trees in the fall, learners monitor a tree on a daily basis and view photos of fall...

Learners investigate various chemical reactions when creating mixtures in ziplock baggies. In this chemistry instructional activity, students will recognize various chemical reactions and cite evidence. Safety and assessment strategies...

Second graders experiment with a thermometer and water samples of varying temperatures. They examine the effect different colors and different fabrics have on retaining heat. They examine snow samples for water and dirt content. They...

Students complete four activities that are about meteorology. The first activity is for them to explore weather maps. The second activity is for students to discover high-pressure and low-pressure air. The third activity is for them to...

Students explore hot, warm, and cold. For this temperature lesson, students use thermometers to find specific temperatures. Students also consider how colored items absorb heat as they participate in a demonstration.

Learners experiment to determine if yeast is a microorganism. In this yeast blowup lesson, students mix yeast with other ingredients and observe the results by using a balloon. Learners adjust the amounts of the ingredients and test...

Pupils are introduced to the concept of energy. After observing a demonstration, they identify the sources of heat and the ways heat can change objects. In groups, they travel between stations to view different demonstrations dealing...

Young scholars study the process for diffusion of molecules. In this chemistry lesson, students understand molecular movement, develop skills for a chemistry investigation, develop skills in making hypotheses, develop observational...
