Third graders explore different types of trains. In this science lesson, 3rd graders study the "Orphan Train" and write a paragraph about what it would feel like to be riding a train during this time period.

In this thermodynamics worksheet, high schoolers learn about insulators and conductors. Students compare the three ways thermal energy is transferred: conduction, convection, and radiation. This worksheet has 22 matching, 1 multiple...

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. They build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are...

In this review of physical science worksheet, students use recall to answer multiple choice questions about electricity and chemical changes. Students answer 25 questions.

In this 3rd grade science activity, 3rd graders complete a total of 25 multiple choice questions related to grade 3 concepts. An answer key is given.

Learners discuss transition metals, their properties, and where they are located on the periodic table as well as why transition metals are ideal for coins. After discussion, they conduct an experiment using copper in the form of old...

In this adobe activity, students read about adobe soil and how it was used for building because of its insulating properties. Students complete 3 short answer questions.

Through inquiry and exploration, 4th graders will learn and understand the functions of open and closed circuits. They will break into 2 groups, define vocabulary, hypothesize how to light a bulb, then test their hypothesis 4 different...

Students investigate the effect of different container materials on heat transfer; draws a conclusion about the best insulator; and applies concept to a new, seemingly quite different problem.

Learners participate in an online lesson to investigate the effects of cooling and heating on water.

Pupils brainstorm on how certain items have become smaller as technology advances. They watch a video about the history of the transistor.

In this V, R, and I in parallel circuits worksheet, students calculate the total current, total voltage, and total resistance. Students match the correct term with the correct definition. Students also label several diagrams of series...

Students investigate how different types of objects act as thermal insulators. In this online lesson plan, students hypothesize how particular objects act as insulators and then complete the online activity to determine which materials...

Students explain the process of conduction using a molecular explanation, and explain how different materials conduct at different rates.

In this periodic table worksheet, students will label the atomic number, atomic mass, element name, and element symbol for oxygen. Then students will determine the characteristics of the different groups of elements on the periodic table...

In this science activity, learners use a periodic table to complete the first four rows of a chart. Students use the Internet or research books to complete the last column.

Students identify and describe transition metals. They discuss alloys and their benefits. Students research one common, alloy, its composition, properties, and uses. They are asked for some common properties of most transition metals....

Learners have to have had some experience with metals prior to using this worksheet. They are given five properties common to five different metals. They create or use a dichotomous key to identify the five mystery metals. Tip: This...

Make electricity flow through Play-Doh. Individuals create animals or other creatures using Play-Doh. The engineering aspect? Eyes that light up and Play-Doh that conducts electricity.

Fourth graders investigate conductors and insulators and distinguish between the two. They utilize the digital camera and other forms of technology to create a study guide on conductors to help students develop sound knowledge.

Students design and draw circuits with batteries, small light bulbs and common household conductors. They build and test the circuit then modify it so someone who couldn't use their hands could turn the circuit on and off.

In this thermodynamics worksheet, students read about conduction, convection and radiation. They answer 47 questions about heat transfer, thermal equilibrium, insulators, conductors and the states of matter.
