Introduction to Density
Seventh grade scientists weigh in on the concept of density. In a nutshell, they participate in the following activities:
Measurement of the mass and volume of fruit in order to compare densities
Measurement of the mass of oil and water...

Cell Repair and Cell Cycle
Seventh graders explore the cell cycle. They view pictures of different stages of mitosis and explain why cells reproduce. They identify the five phases of mitosis: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Melting Ice is Hot Stuff!
Fourth graders determine the amount of energy required to melt ice using a calorimeter. They calculate the Molar Heat of Fusion of Ice.
Curated OER
Vapor Pressure
In this vapor pressure learning exercise, high schoolers use a given graph of the vapor pressure of four liquids to answer eleven questions. They compare and find boiling points and vapor pressures of propanone, ethanol, water, and...

The Ideal Gas
In this ideal gas worksheet, learners read about the conditions necessary for an ideal gas to exist. They also read about the deviations from the ideal gas situation and answer four questions about ideal gases.
Curated OER
Element Videos
Students create videos about an element on the periodic table. In this element instructional activity, students work with partners to create a 1-2 minute video giving interesting information about their element. They include the name,...

Frost Depth
Learners explore the concept of frost depth. In this frost depth lesson plan, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to use a frost tube to measure, record, and graph frost depth data.
Curated OER
Solubility and Intermolecular Forces
For this solubility and intermolecular force worksheet, students are given 26 clues about forces between molecules such as hydrogen bonds and London forces and about solubility of solutions.
