Fifth graders discover how to make healthy choices in nutrition. In this nutrition lesson plan, 5th graders research the daily nutrition requirements recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Students keep a food diary for three...

Use circle time to work on counting. Kindergarteners practice the months of the year, say the full date, chart the day's temperature, count to 100, and sing the alphabet song. This kind of daily routine cultivates deep roots for...

Middle schoolers distinguish between physical changes and chemical changes. They comprehend that chemical reactions produce new substances with compositions and properites which are different than those of the starting materials. ...

In this absolute zero worksheet, students experiment with a closed-end syringe and a ice bath and boiling water. They record volumes of gases in the syringe as well as temperatures of the water and they plot their experimental data. They...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders solve problems involving conversions within measurement systems.  The one page worksheet contains a combination of thirteen multiple choice and free response questions.  Solutions are...

Young scholars investigate what a calorie is and how and why we measure them. They conduct an experiment to compare the calories of a peanut and a mini-marshmallow, and explain and discuss how calories are directly related to the amount...

In this solar system worksheet, students complete a database comparing the 9 different planets' mass, surface temperature, rotation period, orbital period, moons, and distinguishing features. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this aerosol learning exercise, students are given data for volcanic eruptions and the average temperatures of the Earth. They determine the change in temperature from the year of the eruption to the present year and use the means to...

Students keep a weather log. In this weather and temperature lesson, students discuss the information that can be obtained from a map and lead into a discussion about temperature. Students watch a video about temperature and...

In this number facts worksheet, students determine the number associated with each of the twenty-five facts provided.  Students then need to determine how the answers are related to each other.  Answers are provided at the end...

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

High schoolers are introduced to the laws of thermodynamics. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that the energy must be conserved when two objects of different temperatures come in contact. If one object gains energy, the other object...

Young scholars calculate the hourly irradiance of the earth at a site given the near-surface air temperature of the site. They compare the calculated values of irradiance with those measured by instruments at the site. Students need to...

For this science worksheet, students examine the physical changes associated with the change of temperature and mixtures. The answers are included.

In this research skills worksheet, students use a variety of reference sources to answer four questions about temperature. Questions refer to such things as cryogenics, boiling hydrogen and absolute zero.

In this using familiar formulas practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

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.

Students examine the influences of water and mulch on soil temperature.  In this investigative activity students complete a soil experiment. 

Pupils investigate the relationship between dissolved oxygen and organic materials and aquatic organisms. This is a 3-activity series in which students explore dissolved oxygen and then design an experiment testing the effects of changes.

Students observ the cooling and warming of room temperature, hot, and ice cold cans of water by measuring the change in temperature over time. They then attempt to develop explanations for the observations made and apply their findings...

Students observe embryogenesis in action through early stages of development of eggs. They observe cultures with dissecting and compound microscopes. They draw their egg, record any details and observe for changes. They compare their...

Second graders investigate the meaning of temperature. They determine what happens to a thermometer when the temperature rises or falls. They place thermometers in different classroom locations in order to compare the temperature in a...

In this science worksheet, learners are using the laws of thermodynamics and a basic knowledge to fill in the sentences with the correct words.

In this water worksheet, students review the properties of water including the density, boiling point, and evaporation. Students define mixture, solute, and solvent. This worksheet has 22 short answer questions.
