Sprouting scientists explore the concept of density by making mass and volume measurements for five different liquids. From these measurements, they calculate densities. They apply their learning to explain Galileo's thermometer works...

It's a gas. Middle schoolers build a biogas generator following the directions in this resource. After a few days of observation, they demonstrate that the gas given off by the decomposing manure is flammable. The activity concludes as...

Pupils work together to prepare a cookie recipe. In groups, they measure ingredients and review abbreviations and substitutions when it comes to different systems of measurement. To end the lesson, they demonstrate the use of the...

Students create a cookbook.  In this recipe and writing lesson, students brainstorm the skills necessary to follow a recipe, watch a cooking show and write down a recipe used.  Students use a word processing program to write a...

Students determine the density of 1 drop of water. In this determining density lesson plan, students determine the mass and volume of a drop of water in the lab using appropriate lab techniques and calculate the density of a drop of water.

Students explore the density of liquids. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students discover the density of water, corn syrup, and cooking oil through an experiment. In addition, students will draw and label pictures of the...

Students examine the different flow rates of liquids and how lava's viscosity influences flow.  In this liquids lesson plan students complete several handouts and a lab activity.

Fourth graders, in groups, examine the effect of heat on bonding forces by doing laboratory work.

Students examine the ocean and its vast resources.  In this oceans lesson students complete a "seaweed candy" activity then eat their creation.

Fourth graders make observations of the reactions that happens between calcium carbonate and various liquids. During the experiment the students determine if there is a chemical change, a physical reaction, or no reaction when they mix...
