In this molecular model activity, students use a molecular model kit to construct 13 different molecule models. After constructing the molecules, the students complete 32 short answer questions.

Young scholars observe and describe, both orally and in writing. the different forms of water on the surface of the Earth and measure the approximate size of an iceberg. They also estimate and measure the amount of ice that floats above...

Students explain the importance of water in our daily lives. In this aquatic science lesson, students identify different ways to purify water and make it potable. They design and construct a water filter based on researched information.

Young scholars study global change and how these changes impact wildlife.  In this polar bears  lesson students analyze maps and data to understand climate change. 

Young scientists explore some of the scientific equipment that is used by explorers during expeditions to the North or South Pole. Then, they have a relay race! All of the equipment is lined up at a spot 25 yards away from the lines. The...

Although there are only six questions on this chemistry handout, it makes a thorough review of solutions. Novices explain why a compound is not an electrolyte, identify types of compounds, and calculate moles, grams, and molalilties in...

Young scholars watch an episode depicting the human vs. polar bear conflict in Churchill, Canada. They conduct online research and analyze the information. They interpret the facts and use storytelling techniques and role playing to...

The first golf balls were made of wood and would only last for a few games. Modern golf balls last a lot longer but they don't float. The presentation provides the directions for a lab to determine the minimum amount of salt needed to...

Sixth graders explore ways to analyze the properties of water and examine the chemistry of water.  In this water lesson students work in groups and complete several activities. 

Students discover that the Earth supports many different animal habitats. In this habitat lesson students research different habitats of the world. Students show how the animals in their habitat are adapted.

Learners predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising.  In this global warming lesson students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their data collected.

In this science learning exercise, students solve problems that are related to the concept of molecular polarity. The answers to the problems are included.

In this acids and bases worksheet, students read about what happens when an acid or base is added to water. Students complete 6 short answer questions.

Young scholars determine what percentage of the Earth is water and how much water is needed by humans.

Students examine the effects different substances have on proteins. They test different molecules reaction to water. They discover how the amount of water affects the shape of the protein.

Encourage your classes to be laundry helpers! Learners explore the chemistry of stain removal with a lab investigation. By identifying the components of the stain, they identify the most effective solute for its removal.
