Third graders explore and identify the tools that can be used to measure length, mass/weight, and volume. They discuss how things are measured using different units, and observe the difference between the English and the Metric systems....

Students perform tests on different chemicals to determine their chemical properties. In this forensic science lesson, students identify an unknown sample using its physical and chemical properties. They solve a fictional crime using...

Young scholars examine the different parts of blood.  In this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood. 

This particle PowerPoint includes many pictures to illustrate solids, liquids and gasses and the behavior of their particles.

In this periodic table worksheet, students make their own periodic table using 12 given elements and their properties. Students use these elements to arrange them into the proper periods and families based on their properties.

In this review of physical science learning exercise, students use recall to answer multiple choice questions about electricity and chemical changes. Students answer 25 questions.

Learners investigate the process of glass blowing.In this simulation of glass blowing experiments students experiment how glass is formed and why not all glass is the same.

Second graders discover how matter changes from one state to another by observing melting ice cubes. They decide on means to warm the ice and predict what will happen. Students record how long it takes for the cubes to melt.

Students pretend they are water droplets traveling through the water cycle. Using their text, they discover the steps in the cycle and the different paths water can take. They write a report about their journey through the water cycle...

Students make group decisions about matter as they explore and interpret many types.

Looking for a terrific chemistry lesson for your 5th graders? This one could be for you! After a teacher-led demonstration, learners are broken up into groups and perform an experiment using cabbage juice, water, window cleaner, and...

First graders discuss how water changes from liquid to a gas and back to a liquid as part of a continuous cycle. They conduct an experiment demonstrating that things happen to water to change its properties.

In this weird water worksheet, students read for information and assess comprehension. In this true and false, fill in the blank, and multiple choice worksheet, students answer ten questions.

Children enjoy playing with silly putty, but it provides more than just fun. Young scientists make their own silly putty using different recipes. After a bit of fun, they test and graph the viscosity of each.

Household materials can be used for more than cleaning! In this collaborative experiment, emerging chemists use products such as vinegar and liquid antacid to explore chemical reactions that commonly occur in the human body.

Middle schoolers classify materials. In this chemistry lesson, students examine the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Middle schoolers discover the elements, compounds, and chemical symbols.

Students create a polymer out of glue, water, and borax. They discuss the resulting substance and perform several experiments with it.

Seventh graders hypothesize about the number of drops of liquid that can be placed on a penny before it spills over. They examine both the concept of devising a hypothesis and the idea of surface tension. They determine the difference...

Crystal comes from a Greek word meaning ice. Activity eight in a series of 36 has class members analyzing amorphous and crystalline solids and further classifying them based on their forces. They then explore solids, learning about unit...

In this matter and change worksheet, students answer 24 questions on topics such as elements, compounds, mixtures and chemical reactions. Students answer questions about the properties of matter such as their physical state and shape. In...

Students investigate the properties of air through hands-on activities in conjunction with the demonstrations in a 3-2-1 Contact Video.
