Curated OER
Water Into Gas
Students investigate how temperature and pressure cause a material to change phase. They heat water to reclaim a gas. They demonstrate that different liquids evaporate at different temperatures.
Curated OER
The Atmosphere and Flight
Students investigate evaporation and condensation, and apply the concepts to understanding cloud formation.
Curated OER
Condensation Lab
Students investigate condensation in the lab. In this chemistry lesson, students explain molecular motion during phase changes. They relate this observation to Earth's weather conditions.
Curated OER
Evaporation and Condensation
Students explore how temperature effects the processes of evaporation and condensation and how the air may be polluted by the evaporation of certain compounds. In this temperature lesson students complete a lab and a worksheet.
Curated OER
How Do Nitrogen and Water Cycle?
In this nitrogen and water cycle worksheet, students will brainstorm a main idea about the nitrogen cycle or the water cycle. Then the student will write in three details that support their main idea.
Curated OER
All About Matter
In this chemistry worksheet, students locate twenty seven terms in a word search. Answers to the puzzle are available in various formats.
Curated OER
Gases, Liquids And Solids
Young scholars investigate how gases are different from solids and liquids and that they can evaporate and condense. They observe water boiling in a teapot and discuss what happens when the steam touches a cold window, complete an...
Curated OER
The Water Cycle
Third graders observe that water travels in a cycle. They study the parts of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. They demonstrate the cyclical movement of water either by drawing the water cycle at the board,...
Curated OER
Clouds and Rainfall
Students use the general climate section of the Digital Atlas of Idaho.
Then they identify and interpret some basic concepts about climatology. Students also read through the information contained in the Digital Atlas on Climatology....
Curated OER
Solids in Bottles
Students use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.
Curated OER
Floating Candles
High schoolers observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur. They also identify and interpret the relationship between pressure, volume, and number of molecules for gasses. Finally, students...
Curated OER
Water Cycle
Students identify and define evaporation, condensation, precipitation and also, how these interact to complete the water cycle. They identify that water moves in a contimuous cycle, which is powered by the sun. Finally, students name...
Curated OER
A Cloud In The Hand
Pupils investigate the scientific concept of forming clouds. The use simple materials to simulate the formation. This creates a powerful visual for students to make cognitive connections. They make observations and record them in a lab...
Curated OER
The Water Cycle
Fifth graders review and discuss, "The Water Cycle" and its key elements of evaporation, condensation and precipitation. They create a terrarium in groups to connect concepts of The Water Cycle and to view precipitation, condensation,...
Curated OER
Water, Water Everywhere
Studetns view a terrarium with water droplets on the wals. They discuss the ways the water could have got onto the wall of the terrarium. Students design an experiment to duplicate the process. They describe the patterns form their data...
Curated OER
Science: The Water Cycle
Learners examine the various stages of the water cycle. In groups, they complete a hands-on activity by creating model water cycle. Students design posters representing each of the seven stages of the water cycle.
Curated OER
Water Cycle in a Bag
Students participate in a hands-on activity that demonstrates how the water cycle functions. Students look specifically at condensation and evaporation during the recycling of water.
Curated OER
What is a Cloud
Third graders study clouds and how they are formed. They write acrostic poems about clouds and analyze and graph temperature data collected during varying degrees of cloud cover.
Curated OER
The Water Cycle
Students research the water cycle and identify main vocabulary associated with the water cycle. They build and observe a closed system model that demonstrates the water cycle in action.
Curated OER
Weather Plots
Students investigate the relationship between temperature and humidity. The graphs of weather data gathered and plotted for for an assigned period of time are analyzed and the interpretations shared with the class.
Curated OER
Journey Through the Water Cycle
Students canvass the water cycle in the seven lessons of this unit. The processes of the water cycle and the cyclical nature of water is emphasized inthis unit.
Curated OER
"Tri-County" Project--Water Cycle
Students analyze the parts of the water cycle through research and experimentation. Particular attention is paid to the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Students perform an experiment to find the dew point at ground level and then make a chart to determine where a cloud would form.
Curated OER
Precipitation - Pot of Ice/Pot of Boiling Water Experiment
Students observe an experiment where a pot of ice is held over a pot of boiling water. They predict what will happen and then share what they see as the experiment takes place. Then the concept of condensation and precipitation is...
