Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Young scholars investigate the different types of batteries and how they work.  In this energy lesson students experiment with batteries and see which ones last the longest.

Students comprehend the four parameters of water quality. They perform tests for salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and clarity or turbidity. Students comprehend why scientists and environmental managers monitor water uality and aquatic...

Students explore different ways heat can be added to water.

In this chemistry overview worksheet, students review stoichiometry, states of matter, thermochemistry, gas laws, chemical bonding, molarity, chemical equilibria, and kinetics. This worksheet has 41 problems to solve.

Fourth graders complete activities to study the sources of energy and forms. In this energy instructional activity, 4th graders discuss the origin of energy and define it. Students participate in several experiments to further study...

Students apply their knowledge of relativity and nuclear radiation to the concept of cold fusion. They also read the article from the website listed in the related and resource websites and discuss the article with the class.

In this combustion pre-lab worksheet, students determine the chemical equation for the reaction, define combustion and exothermic, and describe the molar heat of combustion. This worksheet has 14 short answer questions.

In this space probes worksheet, students read about radioisotope thermoelectric generators and how they work. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Students examine water, its function and how much you should consume.  In this water lesson students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body. 

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students determine the heat energy needed to vaporize (boil) one gram of liquid nitrogen.

Learners observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

Students examine blackbody radiation and light wavelengths. Students research the various types of electromagnetic spectrum. Students examine any misconceptions they may have in light.

Learners measure and record the mass of the nut to be tested to the nearest 0.01 gram.

Young scholars examine how nuclear reactions differ from other chemical reactions they have studied. They add up atomic masses of both the product and reactant side of an example of uranium decomposition, demonstrating mass loss involved.

Students participate in an experiment to define a parts-per-billion solution. For this ecology lesson, students select a second substance to create a parts-per-billion solution and observe and record their results. Students work in...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define temperature; convert temperatures between the Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales; define thermal equilibrium; and state the zeroth law of thermodynamics.

Learn about the two main temperature scales, Celsius and Fahrenheit, and how to convert temperature from one to another. View two conversion examples and a chart of typical temperatures, and use the conversion tool.
