This PowerPoint enables students to review concepts about the states of matter. This interactive review game provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of subject specific vocabulary.

There are a multitude of games for reviewing almost any subject matter or lesson. The rules can be adapted to fit your own needs and levels. Most of these games have been borrowed from others and adapted. Football Review, Baseball...

Students identify the properties of the three states of matter and observe the movement of Oobleck and be able to compare its movement to that of solids and liquids. They record in their Science Journal what they discovered about Oobleck.

Students observe a teacher demonstration o classifying matter by its physical properties of shape and size. After discussing the definition of matter, students describe the state of matter. They sing a song to the tune of "Bingo." In...

For this science worksheet, students find the definitions to basic terms related to beginning the study of physics and then complete the riddles on page 2.

Students use Internet to research and discover states of matter and explain how molecules are arranged in each state, complete Comparing Matter Work Sheet, and identify objects around classroom that fit three states of matter definitions.

Students study the cycle of how we listen and hear our own speech. They examine sound waves, and the role of the nervous system in hearing. They investigate the cues besides lipreading that deaf people rely on for comprehension.

Roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty with this elementary and middle school compost lesson. All you need is a large plastic container, a couple old newspapers, some organic waste, and a few hundred worms and you're ready...

What happens to the wood a termite eats? Pupils learn about the three types of symbiosis with pictures of symbiotic pairs. Afterward, they determine whether there is a symbiotic relationship with a termite by dissecting termites and...

Breathe some life into product design. Pupils learn about the stages of product creation, use, and disposal—sometimes called a cradle-to-grave assessment. They see how this cycle relates to the life cycle of organisms.

Science does not need to be as hard as a rock. Pupils test 10 different minerals to determine their properties. The learners observe luster, streak, hardness, and fluorescence for each specimen. Afterwards, they compare and contrast the...

Students explore the surface area to volume ratio in cellular respiration. While participating in an interactive lab experiment, they examine proportional surface area and discuss nanotechnology. Students observe the effectiveness of...

Young scholars investigate how scientists sort and classify organisms. In this sorting and classifying instructional activity, students examine what systematics are as tools that scientists use. They examine images of invertebrates and...

Students explain how an element can be identified using emission spectra. They relate the emission spectrum of hydrogen to its absorption spectrum and identify hydrogen absorption lines in the spectrum of stars.

Nothing says organization quite like a table. The third lesson in a six-part Mixtures and Solutions unit teaches young scientists about elements and the periodic table. They learn how the periodic table is organized and about the...

Students conduct an experiment where they will change a liquid dairy product into a solid. They review the definitions of liquids and solids. Students are given an example of each. They are divided into groups of four, each group is...

Students examine the definitions of biomas gasification and generate their own biomass gas.  In this renewable energy lesson students collect gases and roast a marshmallow. 

Students complete a KWL chart on what they know about air. Reading a poem, they compare published definitions of air with the ones they created. They write the definition of air on a bullentin board. They also write their observations in...

Students give an operational definition of a control system. They analyze the elements of a control system in terms of input, control, and output and describe the four basic types of motion: linear, reciprocating, oscillating, and rotary.

Students investigate the different adaptation and skills of jungle species. In this ecology lesson plan, students play an interactive online game where they match species with their adaptation. They research about a specific adaptation...

Students examine deaf culture and the role that American Sign Language plays in forging a sense of community.

Make science come in loud and clear. Pupils learn about how a speaker works by building one. The scholars first learn about electromagnetic fields by building an electromagnet. Using that knowledge, they build a crude speaker using a...

Students are introduced to the processes of evaporation and condensation as they observe physical changes in water. They observe how matter changes from a solid to a liquid state. Students are explained that steam is water in its gaseous...

Students utilize technology for research. They research the potential causes of the sinking of the Hunley.
