It's Just a Phase: Water as Solid, Liquid and Gas
Students construct models of the way water molecules arrange themselves in three physical states - solid, liquid, and gas. They explain the molecular behavior of ice, water, and water vapor.
Curated OER
Transport in Plants
Quite a detailed and advanced look at the transport mechanisms of a plant. The absorption and control of sugar and water concentration are explained and will help an understanding of homeostasis concepts and organ specialization.

How Much Do I Know About Water?
Sixth graders explore ways to analyze the properties of water and examine the chemistry of water. In this water lesson students work in groups and complete several activities.
Curated OER
States of Matter and Gas Laws
In this matter activity, students review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.
Curated OER
Forces in Liquids
In this forces in liquids worksheet, students read their notes and answer short answer questions about forces in liquids. Students complete 6 questions total.
Curated OER
Forces In Liquids
In this science worksheet, students apply themselves to the acquisition of new vocabulary while solving the crossword puzzle.
