Smile: The Properties of Air

First graders draw conclusions about the properties of air. For this properties of air lesson, the teacher demonstrates several properties of air and guides students through discovering that air is colorless, tasteless, odorless, exerts...

Students examine air pressure. In this air pressure lesson, students perform a series of experiments to evaluate the effects of air pressure.

Understand how chemical reactions recombine atoms to create the "chemicals of life". An experiment, showing the basic chemical reactions of an iron nail or a match, helps young children start their understanding of permanent changes.

First graders identify solids, liquids, and gases. In this matter instructional activity, the teacher guides students through numerous demonstrations as they determine the properties of solids, liquids, and gases and classify things as...

Students explore the three states of matter. In this physics instructional activity, students are shown examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Students make cookies and identify the three states of matter during the baking process.

Students examine various polymers. In this polymers lesson, students perform three experiments with polymers to identify them and observe their interesting properties.

Students conduct studies of states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students observe the properties of matter and classify different substances as solids, liquids, and gases.

Students study matter. In this science lesson plan, students examine the relationships among gravity, weight, and mass, the metric measurement of distance and volume, and density and its application to physical properties.

Students rotate through various hands-on experiment stations to explore the concept and properties of different types of matter. They compare some properties of solids, liquids and gases and describe how matter changes from one state to...
