Given a variety of rocks, junior geologists calculate densities and correlate them to Earth's layers. As a simulation of continental crust, they experiment with how materials of differing density float in water. Finally, they...

Young scholars investigate what matter is and how it changes states.  For this physical properties lesson, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter.  Young scholars...

Students examine how a hot air balloon works. In this hot air balloon instructional activity, students do an experiment to test the effects of heat on density. Students make their own hot air balloon and act out how nitrogen moves when...

Students observe earth science by examining results from an experiment. In this buoyancy instructional activity, students practice floating different items in two different liquids and identify why certain objects will float and others...
