Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson plan.

Investigators collect the carbon dioxide produced when an antacid tablet is activated and identify what alteration produced the most gas. They also collect the gas in a buret in order to practice precision. Then they choose between two...

Students investigate how rocket liftoff demonstrates Newton's Laws of Motion. They participate in a class discussion, and construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an antacid tablet reacting with water.

Students participate in a hands-on activity in which they observe the effect of temperature on the rate of chemical reactions. Using Alka Seltzer tablets in different temperatures of water, they record the amount of time it takes each...

Students study Newton's Third Law of Motion which involves action and reaction. They discover what makes a rocket go and then design and construct a rocket that will launch the furthest using the pressure created by an antacid tablet...

A total of five experiments lead chemistry pros to understand the difference between physical and chemical change. They also experiment with exothermic reaction factors that affect rate of reaction. The procedures are not written in the...

Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...

Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.

Students are introduced to the way writing was invented in Mesopotamia. In groups, they participate in re-creations of events that occured in a traditional Mesopotamian school. They practice writing in cuneiform script on clay using...

Young scholars study effervescence. In this hands-on science lesson, students apply the scientific method as they complete an activity regarding the presence of bubbles in liquids.

Fifth graders conduct an experiment.  In this changing matter lesson plan, 5th graders receive a cup of crystals, record their observations, add water to the crystals and record new observations. Students then discuss the...

Students work together to design and build a paper rocket. They place a propellant in the contraption to make it fly. They discover Newton's third law of motion.

Young scholars explore acids, bases, and indicators. They observe the various colors of an acid-base indicator solution and the neutralization of an acidic solution by an antacid.

Students create a rocket using Alka-seltzer of baking soda and vinegar. In this physics lesson plan, students identify the factors affecting the length of time the rocket is propelled. They relate this activity to actual rocket launched...

Sixth graders how primary research is carried out. They design a simple survey questionnaire to interview people about their week average television watching time. They analyze the results and write a report based on the information.
