Challenge your sixth graders with this instructional activity about the freezing and boiling points of water. In these activities learners graph temperature data, read and analyze information, and identify the freezing and boiling points...

Using a hands-on approach, learners explore the effect of friction on objects. Learners use toy cars, shoes, wood, metal, and more to experiment with the causes and effects of friction. Afterwards, they conduct experiments in which they...

Students investigate the physics of flight by experimenting in class.  For this history of flight lesson, students define terms such as gravity, lift, and drag in order to better understand how a plane is able to stay in the air....

In this heat worksheet, students complete experiments with heat and answer short answer questions about the transfer of thermal energy. Students complete 4 questions, one chart, and one bar graph.

Students create science presentations. In this science unit lesson, middle school students create a presentation on an elementary science concept. The presentations are turned into podcasts for the access of elementary school...

In this writing conclusions instructional activity, students practice writing and evaluating paragraphs written at the end of an experiment. They are given a hypothesis and a results sentence and they write a conclusion.

Pupils work in groups with a wooden box that is sealed shut. They make predictions about what is inside the box. Before being allowed to open the box, the groups make hypotheses, conduct experiements, record results, draw conclusions,...

Students are shown an experiment making ice cream while discovering the freezing point depression. There are questions for students to answer after the demostration.

Students observe one of the direct effects of acid water on plant growth. Students engage in an experiment which will take about 2 weeks. Students will understand the effect that acid rain has on plant growth.

Students test the strength of the arch in eggs. Then form hypothesis for how to increase their strength.

This non-profit organization brings "cool" science programs to schools in the Pikes Peak, CO area, but the website also provides exciting videos, experiments, and links to online users. Watch real chemistry and physics experiments and...
