Students review and discuss how Solar energy and electricity produce light and heat. They create a photo/picture journal and include pictures taken during solar energy activities to a PowerPoint slide presentation.

Students explore how temperature affects the processes of evaporation and condensation.

Students discover the differences between global warming and the greenhouse effect through hands-on classroom experiences. They use a 2-D globe and picture cards to identify the causes of both. Students visualize the human influence on...

In this chemistry worksheet, students investigate through experimentation the solidifying behavior of some edible fat mixtures by determining their cooling curves. Then they data-log equipment to obtain a large number of temperature...

It is only six short slides, but an acceptable outline of the integumentary system. General facts about the system, layers, sublayers, and functions are listed as bullet-points. What would make this presentation more engaging for your...

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...

Students investigate evaporation and condensation, and apply the concepts to understanding cloud formation.

Third graders conduct experiments to determine what types of material make good insulators. They prepare a graph of time vs. temperature for their sample. They choose a graph using each kind of material to display for class analysis and...

Students explore motions, forces and magnetism. They investigate magnetism as a force and examine the construction of a magnet. Students examine the force that magnetism produces.

First graders explore the properties of matter. For this states of matter lesson, 1st graders conduct scientific investigations that require them to mix, cool, and heat objects in order to observe changes in the properties of matter.

In this climate worksheet, students read 4 statements about different causes of climate patterns or weather changes. Students write in the effect of these causes in this graphic organizer.

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students calculate the volume or pressure for different gases. Students determine the effect of different stimuli on the rate of a chemical reaction. This worksheet has 1 short answer, 10 fill in the...

In this energy worksheet, students determine the specific heat of an element or compound if the temperature increases or decreases. Students solve 10 problems. Then students use a chart showing calories in food to complete 4 word problems.

In this matter and change instructional activity, learners 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...

Students observe the change in water level as a result of melting sea ice and melting sheet ice.

For this water and Earth worksheet, learners read a 2 page article on water and the Earth, name the clouds in 2 pictures and then list 4 sources of water in nature.

Students study acid rain and complete several activities that show how it affects the environment. They role play members of the community involved in a major decision involving the protection of the environment.

High schoolers describe connections between wind patterns, surface currents, and ocean climate zones. In small groups, they color the ocean climate zones in four different shades of blue. Students then answer questions like what four...

Students examine climate change. In this current events lesson, students read the provided articles "Key Facts + Key Conclusions=0?" "Oil Companies Fund Climate Change Deniers," and "Acting on Climate Change Facts." Students respond to...

Young scholars conduct Internet research to track the path of Hurricane Rita. They record the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during and after the hurricane and draw conclusions about how hurricanes extract heat energy...

Young scholars differentiate the three states of matter. For this chemistry lesson, students analyze graphs of heating and cooling curve of water. They complete a lab report and discuss results.

In this thermochemistry worksheet, learners solve six problems identifying changes in heat, heat of formation and the amount of work done given various conditions of an equation.

High schoolers obseve and compare molecular movement within water at various temperatures and of varying salinity. They discuss the movement of water on a larger scale which can affect the movement and concentrations of microbial...

Second graders experiment with a thermometer and water samples of varying temperatures. They examine the effect different colors and different fabrics have on retaining heat. They examine snow samples for water and dirt content. They...
