Curated OER
Melt Away
Students explore objects before and after heating using their senses. In this matter and energy lesson, students experiment with a variety of objects and use their senses (except taste) to make predictions and record observations about...
Curated OER
Melting and Freezing
Students explore how various substances change from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a solid and how temperature, pressure and nature play an important role in this process. In this melting and freezing lesson, students review the...
Curated OER
Hot and Cold Colors
Students examine how temperature effects changes in materials. In this physical science lesson, students use food coloring and cups of water of varying temperatures to observe the effects temperature has on matter. Students predict and...
Curated OER
Sound
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
Curated OER
Physical And Chemical Changes
Second graders identify physical and chemical changes of matter. They distinguish between physical and chemical changes. They classify changes as physical or chemical.
Curated OER
Physical and Chemical Changes
Students observe examples of physical changes that can take place between the three states of matter and develop common sense and intuition in distinguishing between chemical and physical changes. They observe diagrams on the board from...
Curated OER
Irish Potato Products
Students investigate the effects of low and high temperatures on potato products. For this potato products lesson plan, students demonstrate the effects of storage conditions on Irish potatoes. They investigate the effects of frying,...
Curated OER
Phase Changes
In this phase change worksheet, students read about the particles in substances that speed up and slow down for substances to change phases. They answer eight questions about phase changes, the states of matter and how changing...
Curated OER
Air Pollution
Students collect and examine particulate matter found in the air. In this pollution activity, students use microscope slides and petroleum jelly to collect particulate matter from several different locations, then use a microscope to...
Curated OER
Reducing the Impact of Drought
Students study the impact of drought and improve their writing skills. In this reducing the impact of drought lesson, students investigate various matters pertaining to drought. They share their findings and build knowledge about ways in...
Curated OER
What's Inside
Students become more familiar with life science in the context of the scientific method which helps them to become familiar with the various kinds of life science diagrams they may see on a GED science test.
Curated OER
Nature Superfish
Young scholars study the behavior or ocean animals called billfish. For this life science lesson, students create their own documentary about a local animal. They share their videos with the entire school.
Curated OER
Food Web Mobile
Students explain the main concepts of food webs and food chains. They
describe the role of animals, plants, and other organisms in cycling energy and matter through a food web by creating mobiles. Lesson contains adaptations for all levels.
