Students list reasons why water is important and investigate and graph the freezing points of different solutions.

Students explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.

Middle schoolers discover how paint is made, then create their own paint which they will use to create a picture. After witnessing the processes of emulsion and suspension, students work in groups to create their own paint, and then...

Fourth graders discover how to cook rice. In this cooking lesson, 4th graders discover how to cook rice correctly. Students read and follow cooking directions and discuss how their rice turned out.

Learners examine the acid-base indicator, bromthymol blue (BTB), and what happens to it when you blow air into it or add plants and snails. Through an experiment, they test three different setups of BTB and record the color changes that...

In this density laboratory learning exercise, students complete 2 prior knowledge questions, then use the "Density Laboratory Gizmo" to complete several activities, answering short answer questions when finished.

Students view a video of the water cycle, and make a water cycle baggie. In this water cycle lesson plan, students watch a video, discuss vocabulary, and make a water cycle baggie out of water, salt, ice, and a hot plate.

Young scholars discuss and compare what type of fluids will fill up a beaker first. For this chemistry lesson, students differentiate between pouring glue and water and which will fill the beaker first. They discuss the viscosity of each...

Students define the hydrologic cycle, define transpiration, name the three parts of the hydrologic cycle, and record the amount of moisture given off by several green plants.

Students conduct a number of experiments involving evaporation and condensation. They view and discuss a video about the water cycle and then design posters about the rain based on the book "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs".

High schoolers explore the field of nanotechnology by examining magnetic field strength in ferrofluids. They use probes attached to a computer program to determine the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic field lines.

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.

In this water vocabulary worksheet, students read and learn 12 words that pertain to water and the water cycle. Each word and definition is printed on a separate page in a snowflake shape.

Students observe a scientific experiment and pose a hypothesis. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions about the combination of alcohol in water and how it will affect a floating ice cube.

Learners discuss the use of noses by animals and by people.

Third graders distinguish between living and nonliving things.

Students make predictions about how sound is formed. They view and discuss a video that explores sound formation and attempt to identify the origin of different sounds.

Students have cups of different colored water. They add a new color by using a medicine dropper and see how new colors are formed.

Learners recreate great works of art on old shoes in this exciting art lesson for grades K-8. Emphasis is placed upon the work of Canadian artist Theodore Dragonieri and examples of paintings created by "the Masters" (including VanGogh,...

Learners explore the causes of differences in density. Students choose objects, measure the mass and volume, and calculate the density of each. They perform additional density experiments to model atoms and their correspondence to...

First graders study community helpers, paying special attention to dentists, in this multi-day lesson. They determine what these helpers do and listen to a book before completing observations and experiments.

Students will investigate the differences in conductivity of materials, design a variety of complete circuits, and observe the differences between the manner in which light is produced in an incandescent light bulb and an LED.

Sixth graders observe the physical and chemical change that can occur in an acid and a base. In this acids and bases lesson plan, 6th graders use cabbage juice to identify, compare, and contrast acids and bases.

Students are able to prepare and use pH indicators in paper form. They find out the color of the indicator paper plus test solution may change with time. Students use red cabbage to use for the indicator.
