Students examine how temperature effects changes in materials. In this physical science instructional activity, students use food coloring and cups of water of varying temperatures to observe the effects temperature has on matter....

Young scholars engage in an activity that will allow them to observe that hotter conditions can speed up changes in materials. They will predict whether food coloring disperses more quickly in hot, cold, or room temperature water, and...

Students observe the colors found in the flame of a burning candle and examine the basic concepts of matter and energy. Students apply this information to the color's of starts and the temperature of the stars photosphere. Students...

Students examine the materials that are used to make space suits. They complete an experiment in which they test different materials in different colors to determine the best one for keeping astronauts comfortable. They analyze the data.

Students 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...
