This interactive presentation is a visual delight for young eyes! The title slide allows you to click on one type of material: wood, fabric, plastic, metal, or paper. You are then taken to a slide to consider numerous objects and...

When physical science classes are becoming familiar with the periodic table of elements, you can use this set of printable cards to help them memorize some of the members of the metals, metalloids, and nonmetals groups. There are 24...

What sound does metal make when you hit it? Kindergartners and first graders conduct an experiment about the properties of metal. First, they draw a line between metal items and descriptions of each. Next, they use a magnet to see which...

The Venn diagram is an important graphic organizer, and learners should be familiar with it. Here, pupils compare things that are made of plastic and metal, and they identify the things that have both substances in them. There are two...

How can you tell if something is made of metal? Use a table of data and a science experiment to determine which items are made of metal. The experiment requires adult supervision, as it instructs third graders to build an electrical...

Students create metallic Bas-relief scultures using basic art supplies and the technique of "tooling" in this Art activity with croos-curricular connections in Social Studies and Math. A scoring rubric is included for assessment and...

On this note-taking sheeet, chemistry learners list elements as metals or non-metals. They differentiate between ionic and covalent bonds. They draw Lewis structures for both types of bonds. This would be a terrific teaching tool when...

Here is a thorough review of chemical bonding! Seventeen problems query chemistry learners about electron configuration and ionic bonding, sharing electrons and covalent bonding. Chemistry masters draw Lewis dot diagrams and answer...

Fifth graders study the properties of metals and use them to identify different properties.  In this metal properties lesson students complete a demonstration .

In this chemistry activity, students use the clues at the bottom of the sheet to complete the crossword puzzle on metals. There are 21 clues to solve on the sheet.

Create beautiful Metal Magic Journals with this lesson plan. They are great for keepsakes and gifts! It is also a fun way to learn about wax and metal.

Students evaluate trash. For this Science lesson, students collect and weigh trash from their classrooms. Students categorize the trash and the corresponding weights, recording the information on a data sheet.

In this compounds worksheet, students review the rules for naming compounds. Students apply these rules by writing the chemical name or formula for the 50 compounds given.

In this elements worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 25 clues given.

In this material properties worksheet, students complete a Carroll diagram by categorizing 11 items as either metal or not metal and as an item that floats or sinks.

In this magnets worksheet, students will test different objects to see if they are attracted to the magnet or not. Students will then write in that object under the magnetic column or nonmagnetic column based on their results.

In this geologist learning exercise, students identify and collect five geologic specimens that have important uses, giving an example of each. Also, they create a drawing that shows the cause of a volcano, a geyser, or an earthquake....

Students identify and describe transition metals. They discuss alloys and their benefits. Students research one common, alloy, its composition, properties, and uses. They are asked for some common properties of most transition metals....

Students experiment with different types of metal by dipping them in boiling water and cool water and recording temperature changes in the water. By doing this, they find the specific heat of the metals.

Eighth graders complete labs to find the specific heat of many different types of substances, and use characteristic property to identify an unknown metal. CBL be used to determine energy lost or gained, and students complete a...

In this periodic table learning exercise, students complete a paragraph containing facts about the periodic table by filling in 18 terms from a word list.
