Why do experiments require a control? Guide scholars through designing an experiment to see what they can do to evaporate water faster with a lesson that stresses the importance of controlling all variables. The second activity...

Help young scientists get to the bottom of the water cycle with this comprehensive earth science lesson. After first viewing and discussing presentations about the states of water and the water cycle, the class performs a...

Young scholars explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Young...

For this solutions, suspensions and colloids worksheet, students use diagrams to show how particles are different in each of these mixtures. They also distinguish between characteristics of each of these types of mixtures and categorize...

A teacher with talent has created a fun set of review questions on the changing states of matter. Cycle through 15 questions, multiple choice answers, and a monetary reward for guessing correctly. Use this game show PowerPoint to help...

In preparation for an introduction to chemistry exam, play Chemistry Jeopardy with your class. The categories include molar relationships, phases of matter, atomic structure, chemical nomenclature, and scientific investigation. If the...

Students explore the states of matter. They discuss the different phrases of matter and categorize everyday substances as solids, liquids, or gases. Students explore the relationship between the phases on an atomic level and the role of...

Students explore "matter." In this literacy and three states of matter lesson, students listen to Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss, then work in groups to explore "oobleck" (cornstarch and water mixture) with their five senses....

Students observe and explain how a change in temperature causes a physical change in a substance.  In this physical science lesson, students use a soap making kit to observe the effects of adding heat to the bar soap as they...

Students demonstrate the three states of matter. In this matter instructional activity, students read Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Students create "ooblek" and discuss what state of matter it is.

Students examine the changes as water goes from solid to liquid. In this states of matter lesson, students observe and record the changes to water as it changes from solid to liquid and back to solid.

Students perform experiments in pairs to visualize the changes in water during freezing and melting. In this properties of water lesson, students use their senses and inquiry tools to understand the changes in state of water. Suggested...

In this thermochemistry worksheet, students indicate whether the given processes are endothermic or exothermic reactions. Kids complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Students calculate mass...

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...

Physical science learners define matter, explain the law of conservation of matter, and identify compounds according to their state on this twenty-question test. Most appropriate for the introductory physical science class, this resource...

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

Young scholars explore the states of matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students observe what happens to water when it freezes and record observations. Young scholars then observe ice when it melts and record observations.

Students investigate the states of matter. In this physics lesson, students use water and ice to demonstrate the characteristics of a solid and liquid. Students record their observations as the state of the water changes.

Students investigate water in its solid and liquid form. In this states of matter lesson, students experiment to see what happens as water goes from a solid, ice, to a liquid, water, and back again. They write about and illustrate the...

For this matter worksheet, students answer five questions about the law of conservation of mass. They identify substances as solids, liquids, gases or mixtures and they identify given items as matter or energy.

Pupils investigate what happens to solids and liquids when they change from one form to another. In this states of matter lesson, students work in groups on a virtual experiment that requires them to collect data regarding the melting...

High schoolers comprehend the different phases of matter. They give examples of each phase and describe the processes of changing between these phases. Students are asked what is plasma? They are asked what is the four phases of...

Young scholars view a video which introduces them to density and the states of matter. They experiment, collect data, and graph the boiling/freezing points of several edible items...and then make brownies!

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.
