Your classes will be wide awake during a piping hot lesson! Introduce the resource with a video of the world-record-breaking cup of coffee. Learners work to determine the volume of the cup of coffee to predict if it will break the record.

Micro what? Analyze microfluidics as an application in the medical community. A lab investigation highlights the importance of channel design in biotechnology. Learners modify channels and observe the behavior of the flow of the fluids.

It is about this big. An assessment provides three questions on the estimations of volume. Pupils determine the quantities needed and use dimensional analysis to arrive at estimations involving dollar bills, paint, and gasoline.

Differentiated instruction through leveled learning contracts boosts scholars' knowledge of volume and capacity. Participants split into three groups based on ability and interest before choosing three activities from their learning...

Mathematicians answer five questions about percents, ratios, and proportions with help from an interactive graduated cylinder. Question types include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and discussion. 

Things are getting a little slippery in an inquiry-based activity studying precipitates. Learners use soap and Alka-Seltzer tablets to create different mixtures with water. They then study the properties of the mixtures including their...

Bring the water cycle into the classroom without the mess. Learners build a model of the water cycle using everyday materials. They observe the process of evaporation and condensation and relate their observations to the larger scale...

Believe in the invisible and convince the class that tiny particles exist even if they can't see them! A thorough lesson investigates all phases of matter and provides pupils hands-on experiences that demonstrate that all matter is made...

Add an element of play to a hands-on science activity that challenges learners to design, build, and test bubble blowers. Participants share their experiences and thoughts about blowing bubbles and then begin designing their bubble...

Second graders discover what changes occur in various types of matter under different conditions. They make predictions about the changes in an apple left out in the air, water placed in a freezer, and a nail left in a cup of water. They...

Students identify the various states of water. They use hypothesizing and hands-on experimenting on changing the states of water, the properties of water, and the role of heating and cooling in the changes of state.

Students use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

In this defining water words worksheet, students read an example of water in a specific state of matter and names of water forms and use them to create definition sentences. Students write 14 sentences.

Students investigate matter.  In this matter lesson, students identify types of matter and characteristics of each type.   Students discuss matter and create matter posters to show understanding.

Students make group decisions about matter as they explore and interpret many types.

First graders discuss how water changes from liquid to a gas and back to a liquid as part of a continuous cycle. They conduct an experiment demonstrating that things happen to water to change its properties.

In this chambered nautilus learning exercise, students read a 2 page article, define 10 vocabulary words and answer 7 short answer questions in complete sentences.

In this reading volume worksheet, students are given 25 diagrams of graduated cylinders with a liquid in them. Students indicate the volume of each liquid in milliliters.

Students investigate acid rain. In this environmental lesson, students participate in an experiment using litmus paper and various liquids and then test the acidity of the liquids. Students identify reasons why acid is harmful to the...

Students build and experiment with a watershed to understand the effects of pollution. In this movement of water instructional activity, students work in groups creating rock formations and change the viscosity of the liquids falling...

Students test for organic molecules to determine if a solution contains once living molecules. In this characteristics of life lesson, students test common liquids for the presence of organic molecules, including starch, protein, and...

Students understand the meaning of volume. In this displacement of liquid lesson, students experiment with various weights and a balance scale to find the liquid displaced.

Students investigate molecular movement while studying how to perform a chemistry investigation.

Students explore the different forms that water can take and conduct simple experiments to demonstrate some of its properties in each state. They watch a short video that illustrates some of these concepts.
