Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Students examine the phases of the water cycle and water's different forms it can have. They work in groups to create pantomimes to illustrate the water cycle to their classmates.

Fourth graders watch teacher conduct the following experiment. Wearing safety goggles and old clothing is advised. The experiment could ruin clothing and hurt unprotected eyes. Follow the steps below having students write down what they...

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Learners explore the physical process of melting. They observe melting ice and answer questions related to energy transfer during phase changes.

First graders understand that gases take up space even though you can't see or smell it. This is done through many experiments like trapping air in different sized bags, using balloons and plastic bottles, and blowing bubbles. They...

Students categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Students will observe the amount of water in an open container over time and also examine the amount of water in a closed container over time. They then will compare and contrast the sets.

Students demonstrate basic procedures for archeological excavations. They explore an archeological site, students using various archeological methods and techniques to determine some of the aspects of past life and culture.

Fifth graders experiment using a Meniscus. In this volume lesson, 5th graders identify the volume of irregular objects using the process of water displacement. Students record data and draw conclusions.

Students investigate how the human body needs water by recording their water consumption for a day. They sing a song about drinking water, make and drink Kool-Aid and eat apple slices, and conduct an experiment to determine how much...

Students use scientific methods to investigate the concept of DNA. They observe the DNA of human cheek cells. This is done with the use of a lab experience. Students record their observations and reflect upon on how each organism is...

Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.

Fifth graders discover the process of boiling water and how it is part of the changing of states of matter. They observe a kernel of popcorn pop in a test tube with water and take notes of how the water changes to the form of a gas....

Students define volcanoes and why they erupt. Using baking soda, vinegar, and soap detergent, students create and observe their own volcanoes erupting. A brain-pop video can be used to follow-up the activity (found on website).

Students follow a pattern. For this sorting lesson, students are given various objects and they must sort them from smallest to largest.

In this measurement worksheet, students complete a 12 question multiple choice online interactive assessment about standard modern and ancient measurement.

Second graders gain an understanding of how plants produce oxygen and that the oxygen we breathe comes from trees and plants. After a lecture/demo, 2nd graders discuss the ways plants produce oxygen and the detrimental effects of cutting...

Young scholars follow the path of pollution from the Chernobyl accident. Students name and locate countries where radiation traveled to, describe how air pollution travels from one area to another, and seqence the travel of radiation in...

Students explain the process of evaporation using an activity that allows students to see the gradual disappearance of water.

Students examine current events and create an artistic image that portrays the feelings brought forth by these readings.

Learners use observation skills in assessing the water quality of water samples in this activity and learn that the tastes and preferences of others can be different.

Third graders convert customary units of capacity to make a gallon man out of construction paper. They use the computer to make a tree map of gallons, quarts, pints, and cups to show these conversions.
