Second graders, after assessing why forecasting weather is important, study about temperature and how to read a thermometer. They experiment being able to observe the mercury rising up and down when given a thermometer and cups of cold...

There are two identical half-sheets on this page, each including a data table to indicate the outcome of a titration experiment. Chemistry technicians fill in the reagents used, the final and initial volumes of the titration, and the...

The introduction to the lesson mentions a sailor's limited capacity to store drinking water on his ship. Pupils then set up an overnight experiment to remove freshwater from salt water by distillation. There is a math and map activity to...

Learners experiment floating a variety of objects in various liquids. They discover how density affects the ability of an object to float and apply the concept of density to solve problems.

Young scholars study groundwater movement beneath the surface of the Earth. In this agriculture lesson, students experiment with how water moves through rock materials such as sand, gravel, and clay.

Sixth graders explore popular ideas about the Sun and Moon. In this space science lesson, 6th graders separate commonly accepted details about our solar system into facts and myths. Students research a particular idea and...

Students gain knowledge about earth and space science by studying the nine planets in the solar system as well as their key characteristics. In this solar system activity, students identify the nine planets. Students work in groups to...

Students participate in a science experiment to understand that matter takes up space.  In this matter lesson, students experiment with solids, liquids and gases to recognize that matter is everywhere. Students make observations and...

Students, after reviewing and analyzing Newton's third law of motion, make balloon rockets and experiment with a variety of models. After the experiment, they chart the results and form conclusions. In addition, they compare/contrast...

Students recognize that some changes to matter are reversible and some are not.  In this matter lesson, students experiment a physical and chemical change. Students record experiment results in their science journals. Students act...

Students experiment with mixtures of matter. In this matter lesson, students investigate which liquids form a solution when mixed together and which do not. Students also identify which solids can be separated from matter.

For this science worksheet, students classify 6 actions as positive work, negative work, or no work. Students also design their own experiment.

Students construct a balloon-powered rocket car from a Styrofoam tray, pins, tape, and a flexible straw, and test it along a measured track on the floor. They experiment with ways of increasing the distance the rocket car travels.

Students conduct an experiment about air volume, density, and pressure. In this air lesson, students discuss air, and how it moves. They make predictions about what will happen during the balloon and string experiment. They document the...

Third graders conduct an experiment comparing plants.  In this plant instructional activity, 3rd graders plant seeds and grow two varieties of plant comparing the light needed for it to grow.  Students make predictions and...

Young scholars experiment with solids and liquids. For this mixtures of matter lesson, students combine matter to form solutions. Young scholars hypothesize, test, and analyze the data to draw conclusions. The lesson can be extended by...

Students explore energy by conducting an in class experiment. In this climate change lesson plan, students conduct a water vapor experiment in a soda bottle. Students utilize graphs and charts to analyze the results of the experiment and...

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  In this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

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...

In this properties worksheet, students write the correct term in the spaces beside each definition. Then, students unscramble the letters in the boxes to answer a riddle.

Young scholars experiment with force and motion. In this force and motion instructional activity, students test gravity using a variety of objects. Young scholars rotate through a series of stations which use force, motion, friction, and...

High schoolers question the accepted practices of science by scientists and their interactions with technology and society. They devise and conduct appropriate interview procedures for scientists to question their understanding and...

Students conduct an online experiment to discover what happens to solids, liquids and gases in different temperatures. In this states of matter lesson, students get into pairs and work in a virtual laboratory to manipulate...
