Historically, humans have used many methods of finding due north. Using a hands-on activity, learners create their own compasses. They then test their compasses in their neighborhood or to assist with stargazing.

Connect functions to geometry. In the ninth installment of a 12-part module, young mathematicians create functions by investigating situations in geometry. They look at both area and volume of figures to complete a well-rounded lesson.

In this matter worksheet, students review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.

In this nuclear reaction worksheet, pupils determine the missing particle from the reaction and then name that particle. This worksheet has 18 problems to solve.

Learners make ice cream as a result of viewing changes of states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students learn how heating and cooling can effect a state of matter to change.

Fourth graders study evaporation and condensation as parts of the water cycle. First they determine the similarities and differences between a cup of water and an ice cube before measuring the volume of ice before melting it, and...

Fourth graders explore whether the making of homemade ice cream is a physical change or a chemical change in a lab experiment. Students identify states of matter, describe the physical properties of states, and collect temperature data...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter instructional activity, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state...

Students explore the states of water. In this physical science instructional activity, students use ice and dry ice to observe the changes in the state of matter. Students record the results.

Fourth graders accurately describe various states of matter, Through experimentation, they change a variable to create a new state of matter. Students record their observations about the way matter is changed and the changes that occur...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the water cycle and different states of matter. They conduct research using a variety of resources in preparation for taking a quiz. Then students take the quiz in correlation to having...

In this water cycle worksheet, students learn about evaporation, condensation and precipitation by reading a text. Students then answer 12 multiple choice questions. This is an online interactive worksheet.

Students view a video of the water cycle, and make a water cycle baggie. In this water cycle lesson plan, students watch a video, discuss vocabulary, and make a water cycle baggie out of water, salt, ice, and a hot plate.

Pupils make predictions about how sound is formed. They view and discuss a video that explores sound formation and attempt to identify the origin of different sounds.

Students follow a recipe to make ice cream. In this ice cream lesson plan, students make their own ice cream by measuring out ingredients and following directions.

Young scholars use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. In this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the...

Fourth graders examine matter and the periodic table of elements. In this matter lesson, 4th graders discuss atoms and their composition. Students explore the periodic table of elements and use it to spell words out of the elements.

Young scholars examine how the processes of condensation and evaporation occur. They describe the relationship between heat energy, evaporation and condensation of water on Earth. They give examples of the processes of evaporation and...

In this solutions worksheet, students review types of solutions, concentration and saturation of solutions, and suspensions and colloids. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 7 multiple choice, and 6 short answer questions.

In this phases worksheet, students rank the chemical compounds by decreasing vapor pressure. Students use a phase diagram to determine if water undergoes any phase transitions during the four steps described. This worksheet has 8...

Students study water as a non-renewable resource. In this water lesson, students examine sources of water, uses of water, and explain why it is important to take care of water sources for the common good. They research the water cycle...

Students take an imaginary journey through the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students identify the various parts of the water cycle, listen while their teacher leads them on an imaginary journey through the water cycle, and...

Students investigate, develop inferences, and differentiate between different elements of the water cycle. They investigate the observable characteristics of evaporation and condensation over specific time periods

Young scholars study the evaporation stage of the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students participate in an experiment to study the process of evaporation that uses jars and water. Young scholars complete an observation...
