For this government and citizenship worksheet, students learn the duties and responsibilities of the three branches of government and the system of checks and balances.

Students experiment to show the three forms of water. They watch a "hand" made of ice as it melts observing and drawing what they see.

Explore the unique characteristics of polymers. A complete lesson plan begins with a presentation introducing polymers. Following the presentation, young scientists develop a laboratory plan for creating substances using polymers....

For this chemistry practice worksheet, students select the correct response to the given questions. Students apply knowledge about the states of matter, finding vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure.

Eighth graders make inquiry about the existence of matter. A definition of the word is needed before students can engage in various activities. The application of knowing about matter is done in the working of experiments.

Second graders discover that everything is made of matter. they determine the properties of liquids and that like solids, liquids can be grouped or classified according to properties or qualities. they assess that solids have a definite...

Fourth graders identify the characteristics of a simple physical and chemical change. They describe objects by the properties of the materials from which they are made and separate or sort items using these properties. Students explain...

Fourth graders identify the characteristics of a simple physical change. They describe objects by the properties of the materials from which they are made. Students discuss the different states of matter and their distinct physical...

Fifth graders discover the process of boiling water and how it is part of the changing of states of matter. They observe a kernel of popcorn pop in a test tube with water and take notes of how the water changes to the form of a gas....

Young scholars observe the state changes in water. For this matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. Young scholars explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid then back again. They...

Learners investigate different liquids to develop their concept of a liquid. They work at a center to tip, swirl, shake, roll, and otherwise investigate seven liquids in small, clear plastic bottles: plain water, corn syrup, liquid...
