Learners will like making a liquid layer cake to investigate the relative densities of various liquids: water, oil, and corn syrup. They will also introduce a few solid materials to find out how their densities compare. Standing alone,...

During a unit on density, pupils ponder whether or not temperature affects this property. By carefully inserting blue cold water and yellow hot water into a room-temperature sample, they will see the answer. Make sure to have done the...

In this phases of matter worksheet, students complete 13 fill in the blank spaces with science words from the given word bank. The blanks are placed within an informational paragraph about solids, liquids, and gases. 

I can get more water to stay on a penny than you can! Collaborative pairs determine the volume of liquids that can be contained on the surface of copper pennies and plastic coins. The pairs analyze their results using graphs and go on to...

This capacity PowerPoint allows students to experiment with capacity measurements. The slides contain several directions on how to measure cups of water and pour them into different sized containers. This PowerPoint enables students to...

Fourth in a set of several little lessons on density, this one compares the density of fresh and salt water. First by demonstration, and then by a hands-on activity, learners find that adding salt increases the density, as is evidenced...

Heat-sensitive liquid crystal sheets are available in a variety of sizes and temperature ranges. Purchase a class set of hand-held sheets and color half of each with a silver permanent marking pen. Learners of light can hold them under a...

Second graders discover that everything is made of matter. they determine the properties of liquids and that like solids, liquids can be grouped or classified according to properties or qualities. they assess that solids have a definite...

Students investigate matter:solid, liquid, gas by conducting different experiments. In this states of matter lesson plan, students conduct hands on activities that allow students to see first hand results. Students mix...

Learners predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising.  In this global warming lesson students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their data collected.

Students explore visosity of matter. They run tests of various liquid substances to observe and compare rates of flow of different substances. In addition, they relate viscosity to distance travelled by sample substances.

Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

Students describe the properties of solids and liquids, and explain how a semiconductor works.  In this atom lesson students demonstrate the bonding properties of carbon and silicon.

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...

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...

In this solids and liquids worksheet, students analyze the table of melting points of common materials in order to answer the questions given.

Students complete the required topics for the OSHA 10-hour course. They are presented with Flammable and Combustible Liquids. Students define the following tems: flash point, flammable liquid, and combustible liquid. They are explained...

In this matter worksheet, students complete four riddle questions regarding liquids and solids. Students read riddles about matter types and write their answer inside an ice cream cone.

Fourth graders define the term matter. They compare properties of solids, liquids, and gases. They describe how matter changes from one state to another. They classify objects as either solid, liquid, or gas.

Second graders identify three forms of matter- solids, liquids, and gases with 100% accuracy. They observe what happens when they try to put two kinds of matter into the same space and conclude that solids, liquids, and gases occupy space.

For this states of matter worksheet, students are given a summary of the particle arrangement, the motion of particles, the properties of particles and models of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. Melting, evaporating and boiling,...

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...

Second graders identify and describe properties of matter. They identify three forms of matter- solids, liquids, and gases with 100% accuracy. The student describes the properties of solid objects.

In this gasses, liquids and solids learning exercise, students look at pictures, then write in boxes labeled with parts of the picture whether it is a solid, liquid or gas.
