Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson plan, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students observe and describe, both orally and in writing. the different forms of water on the surface of the Earth and measure the approximate size of an iceberg. They also estimate and measure the amount of ice that floats above the...

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson plan, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

Students explore the cost of wasted water. In this math lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they collect data on how much water is lost when a faucet leaks. Students figure the cost of the water that was wasted.

Students work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...

Students examine a density demonstration involving ice cubes and beakers of water and alcohol. After observing how one ice cube floats in water and sinks in alcohol, they determine which mixture of the two would suspend the ice cube in...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Pupils determine the force of a helium balloon that allows it to rise a specific distance.  In this helium lesson students calculate the amount of paper needed to construct a weight and determine the density of a piece of paper. 

Second graders work with liters and milliliters for measurement.

Second graders become aware that thermometer liquids expand or contract as temperature affects them.

Students use screens of three sizes to separate a mixture of five solid materials. They plan and conduct simple investigations using appropriate tools, measures, and safety rules and record and report observations, explanations, and...

Learners sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Students explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass lesson, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Students utilize electronic scales and...

Students demonstrate proper scientific observation skills. For this investigative science lesson, students make observations, record their findings and form conclusions in order to improve their scientific documentation and writing skills.

Students make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.

Students create packages with a maximum capacity. For this geometry lesson ,students estimate using whole numbers, decimals and fractions. They calculate length, weight and mass of packaging.

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five days...

Middle schoolers practice using measuring techniques by examining bubbles.  In this geometry instructional activity, students utilize mathematic formulas to discover the circumference and diameter of soap bubbles they blow....

Students study how to calculate elapsed time. In this elapsed time lesson, they determine how to calculate the ending time of an event when they are given the starting time and the elapsed time. They participate in direct instruction,...

Young scholars investigate the density of liquids. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and differentiate between volume, mass and density. They observe similarity and differences between coke and diet coke.

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Demonstrate food preparation techniques of salads, soups, casseroles, breads, meats, poultry and pastries.

Third graders explore forms of matter through reading, hands-on science activities, and research using the Internet. Students create a booklet, directions given, that they title and decorate, to later serve as a review visualization...

Students discover that different textured materials can absorb more heat than others. Students work with thermometers, clocks, and graphs.
