Students explore many of the basic properties of matter including atoms, ions, elements, molecules, and density. The class explores an interactive flash-animated Web site to answer questions and clarify misconceptions they might have had...

Young scientists learn that seeing isn't necessarily believing when it comes to the states of matter. After performing a fun class demonstration that models the difference between solids, liquids, and gases, children complete a series of...

First graders observe examples of the three states of matter and identify matter in each of the three states. They make glitter wands to remind them of the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Pupils brainstorm and record...

Students investigate what matter is and how it changes states.  In this physical properties lesson, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter.  Students perform a...

Students explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter instructional activity, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Students experiment with heating objects...

Students investigate the different states of matter by experimenting in class.  In this matter lesson, students participate in a lab activity moving from one station to the next creating different formations of matter....

Students investigate air by participating in a class experiment. In this matter measurement lesson, students identify air as a gas which consists of mass. Students utilize a windsock or balloon to measure oxygen and explore it's true...

Students define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and density of...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students study the vocabulary of the states of matter. In this states of matter vocabulary lesson, students investigate and study the meaning of the words solid, liquid, and gas. They experience demonstration lessons that give them...

In this matter and motion worksheet, students solve 4 different problems that relate to determining the matter and motion of a function problem. First, they find the limit of a as n to infinity and then, determine whether each series...

Students explore air pollution. In this ecology lesson, students participate in an experiment in which 5 numbered jar lids are placed outside. Students bring one lid a day in until all jars are inside. Dirt specks are counted, observed,...

Second graders read the book The Mitten and discuss the changing weather and appropriate clothes to wear in certain kinds of weather. In this weather lesson plan, 2nd graders also have a literature, writing, and math component to the...

In this matter and motion worksheet, students solve 3 different types of problems that relate to the chain rule for multivariable functions. First, they find the rate of increase of the volume of a can and the rate of increase of the...

Students explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson plan, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Students engage in a...

In this matter and motion integration by parts worksheet, students review their skills as they respond to 4 problem solving questions using the method of integration by parts.

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

Why is adding variance important? A lesson outline defines a variance theorem and how it affects the data statistics. The instruction shows scholars the importance of considering the variance of data and why it requires independence.

In this money matters activity, 4th graders, after discussing the 4th Grade Camping Trip, problem solve six word problems associated with money matters.

Fourth graders explore economics by identifying financial goals. In this consumerism lesson, 4th graders discuss money matters and how to conserve an income when they get older in order to achieve their goals. Students collaborate in...

Students complete calculus calculations involving the structure and properties of matter and determining the center of gravity.

Students play a game called Money Matters using cut out representatives of pennies, nickels, and dimes.

What does it mean to be financially responsible? Pupils begin to develop the building blocks of strong financial decision making by reviewing how their past purchases are examples of cost comparing, cost-benefit analysis, and budgeting.

Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...
