Learners study the ocean and its characteristics.  In this oceans lesson students complete a lab activity and are able to predict temperature of certain depths. 

Students explore letter Ww. In this letter recognition lesson, students participate in country, state, food, literature, physical education, colors, careers, music, and game activities that are linked to the main lesson page. Students...

Students complete a variety of activities using pumpkins. They visit various stations with various pumpkin activities.

In this density worksheet, learners read a selection on density and answer 10 questions using the information from the selection.

Eureka! Using the clay boats made in the previous lesson, learners investigate the idea of buoyancy and water displacement to finish the last installment of five in a Floaters and Sinkers unit. Their observations during the activity...

Students complete several cross-curricular activities to learn the letter Ff. In this letter recognition lesson, students complete activities that include geography, music, physical education, science, seasonal, space science, and online...

Young scholars explore the impact of invention. In this invention lesson, students examine how inventions are on going and affect all aspects of life in both good and bad ways. Young scholars will research the history of invention,...

In this earth science worksheet, students read a poem about the wind and learn why the wind blows. After reading the poem and informative paragraphs that follow it, kids answer 2 questions regarding the information they read. Finally,...

Students investigate surface tension and bubbles. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students explore how the surface tension of water is able to support tiny objects that actually weigh more than the water as they collect date by...

Students investigate how plants grow by analyzing pumpkins. In this agricultural lesson, students read The Biggest Pumpkin Ever by Steven Kroll, and draw pictures of a pumpkin in each of its growing stages. Students measure and dissect...

Students draw upon their prior knowledge of the density of water and practice writing a hypothesis, making an observation, and analyzing data while watching a density demonstration.

Students research inventors and inventions and their impacts. In this invention instructional activity, students research inventions and their affects in good and bad ways.

Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Seventh graders are given the opportunity to use model-building as a way to help comprehend the forces and phenomena at work in the world around them. They use both successful and unsuccessful models to make inferences, refine...

Eighth graders biew each volume container and discuss where they have seen them in their home, and how they have seen them used. They explore the different names of volume sizes and their equivalents towards one another. Students...

This is an educator's guide for a unit on things that sink or float. It includes lesson plans, experiments, and activities. Students apply the scientific method as they investigate whether objects sink or float.

An experiment in density. After a review of floating and sinking of different materials, students test four bottles, all holding four ounces of water, to see if they will float or sink. They each contain a different density of sugar...

An experiment to determine if either a regular or a diet can of soda will float or sink when placed in water, and what causes this.

Students will explore matter that sinks or floats when submerged in water and that matter is categorized as either a sinker or a floater. Students will work actively in small, cooperative learning groups as well as gather in a whole...

In this experiment, you test whether two different bowling balls will float or sink, then determine the density of each of the balls to see if they are less than that of water.

Students experiment with items that sink or float, and learn that water's density is equal to one, and objects/solutions with a density greater than one will sink, and those with a density less than one will float.

The tradebook, Who Sank the Boat? by Pamela Allen, is an excellent tool in teaching measurement. Learners will engage in activities involving different types of measurement. In the story, five animal friends decide to take a boat ride....

A activity where students learn how warm water is less dense than cold water, and what this means for global climate change as ice from the polar regions melts. Students will do experiments in buoyancy and water density when hot or cold,...
