Young scholars explore matter.  In this matter and technology lesson plan, students locate examples of solids, liquids, and gases inside and outside the classroom, and record their findings in a graphic organizer.  Young...

Students examine the changes as water goes from solid to liquid. In this states of matter lesson, students observe and record the changes to water as it changes from solid to liquid and back to solid.

In this water worksheet, learners read a 1 page article on water, fill in the blanks of 3 words with their missing letters, fill in a crossword puzzle containing 5 clues about water and answer 1 short answer question. Students draw a...

Students experiment with various containers to explore standard units of liquid capacity. They create a diagram to illustrate the liquids and units of measurement that each container holds. Each student is then challenged to compute...

Introduce this abstract art to your class; they must chose ordinary classroom objects and shapes to paint with watercolors. The overlapping effect will create a fun, abstract piece of art!

Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...

Fifth graders dance in different ways to show movement of states of matter. For this matter lesson plan, 5th graders make connected shapes with a partner, make flowing movements, travel rapidly, and more. 

Learners explore matter by conducting an in class demonstration. In this liquid mixture lesson, students identify the difference between a solution in which a solid dissolves into liquid, and a suspension where the solid doesn't dissolve...

Young scholars investigate what matter is and how it changes states.  In this physical properties lesson, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter.  Young scholars...

Who knew you could paint with glue? After first adding liquid water color paints to bottles of white Elmer's glue and applying them to paper, young scholars of all ages are then challenged to use their imagination and...

Young artists of all ages create texture using dried slabs of pourable acrylic paint. They experiment with texture by turning a liquid into a solid and finally into a 3-D work of art. This lesson uses easy-to-find materials, and the...

Students blow up the balloon to look like an egg. In this art lesson, students tear the newpaper into little pieces and dip them into the liquid starch. Students place these strips on the balloon until the balloon is completely covered....

Students create a large circle out of construction paper and use a hole punch to make many holes. In this art lesson, students brush liquid starch over the holes putting different colored tissue paper over the starch.

Students explore physical sciences by participating in a class experiment. In this matter lesson, students identify the three forms of matter and their physical differences. Students utilize cookie dough to create a play dough like...

Learners explore the use of watercolors in the making of paintings that incorporate the use of shapes and overlapping them into new ones. The skills of using positive and negative space is strengthened as they are applied in these...

In this gases worksheet, students study the pictures and write whether each one shows a state of a solid, liquid, or gas. Students complete 11 examples.

Even functional everyday objects can be highly ornate and thoughtfully designed. Art analysts look at the form and function of an Inca jug used to transport liquid. They consider this jug in relation to other jugs fashioned throughout...

Elementary schoolers explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments. Learners interpret these movements through dance. The...

Third graders study different bodies of water and how they fit into the water cycle. They explain that materials exist in different states (solid, liquid and gas) and change from one to another, that there are systems, order, and...

Sometimes you need to play a game in order to reinforce learning. Use Bingo cards to review the equivalents for both dry and liquid portions. Playing Bingo helps learners to practice recognizing measurement units, abbreviations, and...

Students explore oxygen properties by conducting a cell experiment in class. In this respiration lesson plan, students discuss the process of breathing and how oxygen is inhaled before carbon dioxide is exhaled. Students utilize yeast,...

Learners explore the densities and viscosities of fluids as they create a colorful 'rainbow' using household liquids. While letting the fluids in the rainbow settle, students conduct 'The Great Viscosity Race,' another short experiment...

Students identify and explain these vocabulary words: vibration, volume, pitch, particles, tuning forks, waves and matter. They explain that sound travels through gas, liquid and solid. They be

Students explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments familiar to the students. Students represent these movements in dance.
