In this chemistry instructional activity, students complete a chart about common compounds. Examples include baking soda, sugar, and wood alcohol.

In this heat transfer and phase change worksheet, learners experiment with ice, salt, and milk to show the relationship between the temperature of a solution and its phase. Students turn milk from a liquid to a solid and graph the...

Students design an appropriate and usable storyboard and then create a claymation video. They take digital photographs frame by frame, then assemble the stop-motion movie using video software.

In this chemistry worksheet, students describe an atom, its parts, the charges of these parts, and atoms life functions. Then they explain what the octet rule states for the placements of electrons around the nucleus of an atom. Students...

In this general science learning exercise, students find 32 science words reviewing states of matter and types of substances. Students may self correct by selecting the link at the bottom of the page.

In this solutions worksheet, students read about how people first learned to use metals and to combine metals to form alloys. Students write an essay telling the story of how ancient people first learned to cause physical changes in metal.

For this solubility worksheet, students calculate the final concentrations of the ions involved in a chemical mixture. Students calculate the solubility of different compounds. This worksheet has 13 problems to solve.

In this classification of changes worksheet, students identify each example as either chemical or physical changes. Students also classify other examples as either element, compound, solution, colloid, or suspensions. In the other...

For this water worksheet, students review the properties of water including the density, boiling point, and evaporation. Students define mixture, solute, and solvent. This worksheet has 22 short answer questions.

Young scholars explore how chemicals change water. In this chemical change instructional activity, students participate in an experiment to observe how salt effects ice and how ice cream freezes.

High schoolers become acquainted with the principles of liquid chromatography and construct a liquid chromatography column. Students also investigate the effects of different solvents and solvent concentrations in the separation process.

Students use chromatography to separate substances in Kool-Aid, Crayola markers and leaves. In this chromatography lesson plan, students make chromatograms to separate substances in a mixture through absorption. Students find the Rf...

Students examine the properties in oil in water. In this mixture lesson plan, students read about the Lophelia II 2010: Cold Seeps and Deep Reef Expedition and look at images of deep sea ecosystems. They experiment or participate in...

Third graders identify the different states of matter. In this science lesson plan, 3rd graders describe the different components of solutions and mixtures. They create emulsions, foams and suspensions in the lab.

Students investigate the freezing point depression of water while making ice cream. In this colligative properties lesson plan, students make ice cream using ice, salt and water to freeze milk and sugar. They measure the temperature of...

Fourth graders explore the many uses of corn-based products and the importance of water resources. They consider how biodegradable products help to keep water clean. They perform experiments to observe how corn pellets dissolve while...

Students identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of plant and...

Students conduct an experiment in which they systematically separate cations from a mixture of substances. They use the following types of reactions to do so: precipitation, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction. They compare a...

Students make a starch-glucose solution and pour it through gel in order to separate the starch from the glucose. They examine how starch is a larger molecule than glucose and test for the presence of these substances using other...

Eighth graders determine which of two solutions is more acidic by adding each to a given base. Students have to apply this analysis process to a problem scenario involving an alien creature.

Fourth graders explore and experiment with objects that float to see if they float differently in salt water or fresh water. After the experiment, they write a paragraph in their science journal explaining how fresh water and ocean water...

Learners answer questions about how microorganisms can affect our food supply and how they can be controlled. The first set of inquiry activities are directed by the teacher. Subsequent activities are based on students generating their...

For this colligative properties worksheet, students solve eight problems. They calculate molarity, molality and grams of substances in addition to using colligative properties to calculate solutions.

In this qualitative analysis worksheet, high schoolers read about all the different tests that can be done in chemistry to give qualitative results. Tests include flame tests, forming precipitates with sodium hydroxide, using sodium...
