Solids, liquid, and gas, the three states of matter, are the subject of a cross-curricular reading comprehension exercise that asks kids to first read an article about these forms, and then to respond to a series of questions based on...

Students explore the concept of liquid measurements. In this liquid measurement lesson, students convert liquid measurements from cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.

A clever visual known as "Measurement Man" is used to relate the number of units used to measure an object. Fourth graders fill in blanks with the correct numbers to show how many cups in a pint, how many quarts in a gallon, and other...

Discover the difference between the capacity of a container and its volume. The 25th part of a 28-part series presents problems that require pupils to determine the amount of liquid a prism can hold. Learners must take into account the...

Students explore liquid measurement. In this liquid measurement lesson, students discover the formulas for conversion. Students are given problems and use the formula to convert the measurements.

Do solids, liquids, and gases even matter? Scholars match the state of matter to its particle picture, size and shape description, and description of the arrangement of the particles. Once they complete that activity, they complete a...

Students determine how to compare and calculate liquid measures. In this liquid measurement instructional activity, students review the most common liquid measures such as ounces, teaspoons, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third instructional activity in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown...

Learners solve 14 word problems and 25 weight conversions.

Young scholars identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for volume.

Students identify and categorize states of matter. In this states of matter lesson, students study the pictures and sort them as liquids and solids.

Students explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter instructional activity, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Students experiment with heating objects...

Young scholars describe four states of matter and their characteristics, explain thermal expansion of matter, interpret state changes in terms of kinetic theory of matter, explain relationship between temperature and volume of a gas,...

Who knew you could paint with glue? After first adding liquid water color paints to bottles of white Elmer's glue and applying them to paper, students of all ages are then challenged to use their imagination and...

solid, liquid, and gas. The three different forms of water are the subject of the article used to assess reading comprehension. After reading the article, kids respond to a series of comprehension questions based on the text.

There is no better way to contextualize fractions than in a real-life situation. Learners demonstrate their ability to convert, measure, and determine fractional equivalents as they pertain to both liquid and dry measurements, as needed...

Students participate in a whole class discussion about solids, liquids, and gases. Students get involved in a teacher-directed experiment related to solids, liquids, and gases. Students complete worksheet, writing the names of the parts...

  Students practice measurement.  In this fractions lesson, 6th graders measure volume of a liquid, e.g. 1/5 liter, and learn the vocabulary of fractions (numerator, denominator). Students solve sample problems in small...

Students explore physical sciences by participating in a class experiment. In this matter lesson, students identify the three forms of matter and their physical differences. Students utilize cookie dough to create a play dough like...

When two liquids combine and a solid forms, the new substance is called a precipitate. Scholars test their knowledge of hydroxide precipitates and their properties. A series of four increasingly difficult puzzles challenge their logic...

Upper graders use a variety of tools to measure liquid and solid ingredients in an ice cream making recipe. Following written and oral directions and accurately timing themselves forms the basis of this lesson.

Eighth graders practice using correct vocabulary and apply content knowledge related to phases of matter when answering questions about situations or observations from everyday life.

Students analyze and research the claims of Listerine advertisements and commercials. They observe commercials and ads, then participate in numerous activities to determine the credibility of the claims made by Listerine. Students...

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...
