Students examine the reasons why metal corrodes in regard to metal artifacts. In groups, they discover the affects of salt water on metal and compare the type of corrosion found on iron. They also research the types of metal...

In this compounds worksheet, students compare the differences between compounds and mixtures. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.

In this biologically important molecules activity, students fill in the blank with information about carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Students also make notes about nucleic acids.

Students identify the periodic table trends and predict material properties. They also design and conduct simple experiments and test material properties. Finally, students compare and contrast material properties and that chemical...

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Young scholars identify how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. They identify how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens, and also,...

Students examine carbon dioxide and determine the impact of greenhouse gases on the earths spheres.  In this pollution lesson students complete a lab activity to see the impact of gases on the environment, 

Students plot earthquake and volcano data using a Compass Rose Plotting. They explain the relationship between plate movement and connection. They draw conclusions that earthquakes and volcanoes occur in predictable locations.

Students participate in an activity in which they demonstrate how the evaporations of water from the oceans results in fresh water in the form of rain. They create a saltwater solution in a flask and boil the water until most of the...

Students engage in a paper treasure hunt to find a lode deposit of gold using the placer deposit concentrations of metals found in stream sediments. They use topographic maps and metal concentrations to assist them. Students discuss the...

Young scholars, in groups, take samples from a creek and keep a field journal on their samples. They also perform tests on their samples.

Students compare Jupiter and Earth. In this Earth and space studies lesson plan, students compare the composition of Earth and Jupiter and analyze how the composition affects the rate at which the planets spin.

Brilliant graphics depict a variety of allotropes, especially the allotropes of carbon. Some notes are available to help make these useful for teaching your young chemists, but not for every slide. With some additional preparation on...

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

In this science quiz instructional activity, students complete a set of 20 true or false questions covering a variety of general science topics. An answer key is included.

Young scholars identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

In this science activity, middle schoolers select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

In this literacy worksheet, middle schoolers find the words that are in the word search puzzle that focus upon the vocabulary that is from the theme of the sheet.

Fourth graders improve their understanding of Graham's Law by using properties of gases to evaluate the rate of effusion of two compounds as they vaporize. They engage in a lab which elevates their understanding of the properties of gases.
