Water Layering and Circulation
Students examine relationships and interactions between different types of water. They experiment with colored water of different temperature and salinity and discuss how the results relate to real ocean currents.
Curated OER
Osmosis Investigation
Learners investigate osmosis as they determine how carrot cells respond to two different environments. They conduct the experiment, record the data, and answer discussion questions.
Curated OER
Camouflage and Protective Coloration: A Model of Natural Selection
Students study protective coloration and camouflage in animals. They create examples of each and conduct simulation-type experiments to determine which is the most effective adaptation.
Curated OER
Chemical Changes
Fourth graders examine and identify chemical and physical changes in a variety of substances. They observe a vinegar and baking soda demonstration, and a water, laundry detergent, and Epsom salt mixture demonstration. They discuss the...
Curated OER
Cold As Ice
Fourth graders investigate how glaciers cause the weathering of landforms. They observe a brick that has been placed on a frozen slab of ice, and discuss the results, comparing them to the movements of a glacier. In small groups, they...

Summer Water & Sand Activity: All Soaked Up!
In this lesson, Summer Water & Sand Activity: All Soaked Up!, young scholars experiment with sponges and water. Students analyze how sponges absorb water. Young scholars learn a song to sing during the lesson to help them understand...
Curated OER
What Will Rust?
For this science worksheet, students participate in an experiment about which items will rust and which ones will not. Students draw a picture of the items for 6 days and record the day, date, and time.

Bobbie Bear
Pupils examine how many different outfits can be made out of a given set of different colored shirts and pants. In this word problem lesson plan, students list or graph the possible results of an experiment. Pupils make a list of all...
Curated OER
Soil Buffering
High schoolers observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.
Curated OER
Observing The Influence Of Acid Rain On Plant Growth
Students observe one of the direct effects of acid water on plant growth. Students engage in an experiment which will take about 2 weeks. Students will understand the effect that acid rain has on plant growth.
Curated OER
Looking At Acid's Effects On Metals
Students perform an experiment that demonstrates acid rain. The chemical effect of acids on metals may take at least five days for the human eye to see, even though the reaction starts as soon as the acid contacts the metal.
