Speedy Succession
Fifth graders investigate how a pond ecosystem can change into a prairie or grassland ecosystem. They observe a small pond ecosystem in a two liter soda bottle, and examine and record changes over a two-week period of time on a worksheet.
Curated OER
Three States of Matter
Third graders investigate the three states of matter and the properties of materials as they undergo physical changes. They identify examples of each type of matter, role-play atoms in solids, liquids, and gases, and conduct an...
Curated OER
Compounds
In this chemistry instructional activity, students complete a chart about common compounds. Examples include baking soda, sugar, and wood alcohol.
Curated OER
Rate of Photosynthesis
Students investigate the rate of photosynthesis using elodea leaves. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students place elodea in a test tube filled with water. They include baking soda and place the test tube under a lamp. Students...

Earth Day
Students complete a variety of Earth Day activities. In this recycling and the environment lesson plan, students listen to Earth friendly music, create a car out of juice boxes, use soda cans and bottle caps to create a Halloween...
Curated OER
Invisible Paint
Young scholars explore acids and bases. In this acid or base science lesson plan, students test different items to see if they are a base or a acid. Young scholars then perform an experiment using paint and juice and baking soda.
