Students investigate the climate changes occurring locally, regionally and globally over the last one hundred years. They brainstorm and predict whether the current year's weather was warmer or colder than last year then check the...

Fifth graders explore physical and chemical changes. They prepare a demonstration in which they perform an example of either a physical change or a chemical reaction.

A full-fledged practice final prepares pupils for their general chemistry final exam. If they complete these 57 multiple-choice questions correctly, they will be well-prepared. Note: even though the questions are multiple-choice, there...

Nothing flows like J-E-L-L-O! In the final portion of a four-part series, pupils create scale models of microfluidic devices out of gelatin and bendable straws. They use their devices to test various flow rates in the delivery of...

The billions of cells that make up all living things are the focus of this resource. Understanding the differences between the cells that make up plants and animals is an important distinction; it is covered here quite-well. Some...

Introduce your classes to a fourth state of matter! Liquid crystals have a colorful sheen that changes based on different physical factors. Learners use this information to create a liquid crystal thermometer where the color of the...

Fifth graders discuss the differences between chemical and physical changes. In groups, they complete experiments and discover how a physical chnage can be reversed. To end the lesson, they review the steps of the water cycle and...

Test takers stressing out over the upcoming exam? Help them prepare for the AP Physics i exam with this fast-paced video that includes a complete guide to everything related to kinematics. Also included are some common errors...

Prepare your AP Physics class for the exam with a video that covers work, energy, and power. The quick review also covers common mistakes and test-taking tips that will help your scholars find areas they need to spend more time...

Help pupils review for the portion of the AP Physics exam that covers linear momentum and impulse review with a short video that covers an extensive amount of material.

Fifth graders investigate evidence for changes in matter that occur during a chemical reaction.

For this line graph worksheet, students use data given in a table and assign axes, make a scale, plot data and make a line or curve on their constructed graphs.

Students study the concept of a scientific model and demonstrate climate change models.  In this scientific lesson students design a model using direct and indirect evidence and use it to make hypotheses.

Forget your local meteorologist — build your own barometer and keep track of the weather with an activity that provides directions to build a barometer out of a narrow necked bottle, a glass, and some water. Using their barometer,...

Explore Snell's Law using thin films. In the fifth installment of a seven-part series, pupils solve a set of problems relating to Snell's Law and use this skill during an experiment requiring the collection of reflective measurements...

High schoolers conduct an experiment using the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. After pairs balance the chemical equation for making water, they mix different ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in a chemical reaction. Classmates...

Fifth graders explore American colonial life. In this interdisciplinary history and science lesson plan, 5th graders participate in several hands-on activities that require them to make colonial products that involve physical or chemical...

So is that what you meant by rubber legs? The activity has pairs subject a chicken bone to vinegar and observe what happens over a period of days. Individuals then write up a lab report and document their observations and findings. 

Fifth graders evaluate evidence that indicates a physical change has occurred. For this colonial living lesson, 5th graders explore the science involved in the making of items used in colonial life, such as, bread, butter, soap,...

Students simulate radioactive decay and nuclear power using an on line interactive web site. In this on line lesson plan, students monitor radioactive isotopes and record the activity of a particular element as the decay progresses. They...

Fifth graders complete a worksheet which has them place a list of gases in order from the least to the most dense. The density in grams is given for each. There's a good paragraph which provides background knowledge about the volatility...

For this nucleus of an atom worksheet, high schoolers answer 19 multiple choice questions about the structure of the atom, radioactive decay, isotopes and half life.

Third and fourth graders who are studying states of matter will enjoy this simple exercise. In it, they look at a picture of a girl in her kitchen, and they must circle five examples of materials that have changed states of matter as...
