Students mix two different solutions to become more familiar with molecules and polymers. In this chemistry lesson, students decide whether or not the reaction between two solutions is chemical or physical. Students then observe the...

This is an advanced rates of reactions worksheet. Students will be determining reaction times, molarities, and reactions rates for different reactions.

Sixth graders create pottery out of black clay using traditional methods. They demonstrate appropriate Native American cultural traditions related to the making of black pottery, including prayers to Mother Earth and Clay Woman.

Students investigate molecular movement while studying how to perform a chemistry investigation.

Students determine what characteristics are useful in classifying items.  In this sorting organisms lesson students create and explain a classification scheme using familiar organisms. 

Students analyze and classify substances.  In this classifying matter instructional activity, students look at various substances and identify them as heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures, pure substances, or solutions. ...

In this word search worksheet, students locate 20 words related to science. The word list includes volume, mixture, and solute.

Students identify he phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and why they take place. They comprehend what a physical change is and what a chemical change is. Students know the difference between a Mixture and a Solution.

Students predict, observe and draw conclusions while working on an experiment with "slime." Students accurately record observations and draw conclusions about the experiment.

Eighth graders explore and demonstrate the seven steps of the scientific method. They predict how much sugar is in chewing gum and test, analyze, and calculate the sugar content of gum.

Learners make a polymer but they won't be getting instructions. They'll get materials and they must figure it out on their own and report the actual steps needed back to the teacher.

In this systems of equations worksheet, learners solve 6 systems using the substitution method. Students then set up and solve 2 systems of equations word problems, one being a mixture problem.

Students explore how chemicals change water. In this chemical change lesson, students participate in an experiment to observe how salt effects ice and how ice cream freezes.

Students use one of four absorbent products to separate as much of the oil and water mixture they are able to do. The purpose of this task is for students to collect and analyze data for the purpose of determining which absorbent is...
