Students canvass the water cycle in the seven lessons of this unit. The processes of the water cycle and the cyclical nature of water is emphasized inthis unit.

Fifth graders observe experiments with ice and water. They complete a Venn diagram listing the properties of each. They experiment with ice and water, comparing their weights. They note the weights are equal.

Students observe a basic chemical reaction as vinegar is mixed with skim milk and microwaved. First, they listen to the teacher read, "Little Miss Muffet," and discover the meaning of curds and whey. While the experiment have an...

In this science worksheet, students identify and locate vocabulary words related to various sciences. There are 20 words located in the word search.

In this matter worksheet, students watch a movie and then compare the differences between compounds and mixtures. This worksheet has 16 fill in the blank questions.

Students observe chemical reactions that produce obvious effects. They begin by exploring a different substance every day for one week. They compare the substances and examine how substances can be solids, liquids, or gases.

Students investigate the effects of differences in air pressure on a system. They answer the question, "What makes a liquid go up a straw when you suck on it?".

Students investigate the acidity and alkalinity of common household products in an experiment. They use red cabbage juice and litmus paper to show the difference between strong acids and bases as they work with vinegar, dish washing...

Young scholars use the following quick activities to comprehend what surface tension is: 1. Fill a gas bottle with water. Place an uncentered burner screen over the bottle. Hold the screen in place with your finger and invert the bottle...

Students explore the world of nanotechnology by synthesizing ferrofluids in a series of chemical reactions. In small groups, they follow the procedure to create the ferrofluids using precise measuring techniques. They test the resulting...

Teach how to explore exponential equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, students investigate the graph that occurs as a hot liquid cools.  Students model the data algebraically.

In this classification of matter learning exercise, students answer 15 questions about solids, liquids and gases, types of mixtures and compounds vs. elements. They also answer 2 questions about measurement and 1 question about a biome.

High schoolers investigate acids, bases, indicators and universal indicators. In this acid and base lesson plan, students test 6 samples with litmus paper and determine if they are acids or bases. They separate out 7 samples using litmus...

In this volume worksheet, students take notes on the various ways to measure volume depending on if the substance is liquid, an irregular shaped solid, or a regular shaped solid.

Students make putty and explore its properties. For this colloids lesson, students identify the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Then, they create a collide and examine its unique properties.

A hands-on chromatography lesson brings science to the magic of changing autumn leaves. After collecting plant samples, young scientists use paper strips, two liquids, and coffee filters to separate the pigments, then...

Take your class up, up, and away with an engaging weather balloon simulation! Individuals get hands-on experience in creating and launching their own airborne labs to study how temperature and pressure affect substances at 100,000...

Pupils apply their knowledge of refraction to four different sets of challenges. Each of the first three focus on one variable's impact on the direction of bending. The fourth combines variables for greater challenge.

Sixth graders complete a lesson on the properties, types and amounts of water on Earth. In groups, they travel between stations to identify water resources in Illinois and pollution sources. They complete the lesson with a field trip...

Students investigate various properties of ice including melting points and the effect of pressure on ice. They demonstrate how increased pressure lowers the melting point of ice and perform a simple experiment proving that water is more...

Students name the ways in which they use water every day and create a counting book using the ways in which they use water to illustrate it. The measure and graph the amount of water they use when they wash their hands.

Learners comprehend that hot water rises up through cold water but cold water does not rixe in hot water. They comprehend that water at temperatures above 4oC decreases in density with increases in temperature. Students answer lab...

In this matter worksheet, students identify words and match them to their definition. Students identify words dealing with matter, its physical changes, and the effect of heating and cooling matter. This worksheet contains nine...

In this states of matter worksheet, students will write down a main idea relating to the three states of matter. Then students will write in five supporting details in this graphic organizer.
