Young scholars explore the states of matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students observe what happens to water when it freezes and record observations. Young scholars then observe ice when it melts and record observations.

Students examine the processes of melting and freezing.  For this matter lesson students complete a lab in groups, discuss what they learned and view a teacher demonstration. 

Students observe and discuss what happens when water turns to ice and when ice turns into water. In this freezing and melting lesson plan, students observe ice and water and complete hands on activities that change their properties.

Learners use a pipette to mix small amounts of food coloring into water. They visualize the small quantities of parts per million and parts per billion. Contrary to the title, the lesson is about liquid amounts rather than gas amounts....

Students explore water and ice. In this physical science lesson plan, students participate in a science inquiry and observe the characteristics of ice and water. Students compare the differences between a solid and liquid and record...

Here are some instructions for leading learners through a hands-on activity for investigating ultraviolet radiation. First, introduce them to light and refraction. Then introduce them to the electromagnetic spectrum. Finally, give...

Students explore the states of water. In this water states lesson, students observe ice over time and the changes that take place. Students read a related text and draw their observations in a journal entry. Students discuss the...

Students investigate the pH of a liquid.  In this middle school mathematics/science instructional activity, students collect and analyze data regarding the pH of various liquids.  Students display their data in various types of...

Students conduct an experiment. In this plants instructional activity, students conduct an experiment in order to understand how liquid passes through a plant. They use balloons suspended from the classroom ceiling.

Learners identify and explain these vocabulary words: vibration, volume, pitch, particles, tuning forks, waves and matter. They explain that sound travels through gas, liquid and solid. They be

Some of kids' favorite toys are the products of science experiments. Scholars follow precise measurements to mix and create their own slime and Play-Doh. They observe the changing textures and the chemical reactions throughout the...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Second graders discover what changes occur in various types of matter under different conditions. They make predictions about the changes in an apple left out in the air, water placed in a freezer, and a nail left in a cup of water. They...

Pupils observe a basic chemical reaction as vinegar is mixed with skim milk and microwaved. First, they listen to the teacher read, "Little Miss Muffet," and discover the meaning of curds and whey. While the experiment have an offensive...

Identify and prepare yeast breads. National Standard 14.3.3 Identify the classes of breads: rolls, loaves, deep-fat fried Identify ingredients in yeast breads and their functions: flour, yeast, liquid, salt, sugar, fat and eggs Identify...

Students explore the world of nanotechnology by synthesizing ferrofluids in a series of chemical reactions. In small groups, they follow the procedure to create the ferrofluids using precise measuring techniques. They test the resulting...

Sixth graders complete a lesson on the properties, types and amounts of water on Earth. In groups, they travel between stations to identify water resources in Illinois and pollution sources. They complete the lesson with a field trip...

Students investigate various properties of ice including melting points and the effect of pressure on ice. They demonstrate how increased pressure lowers the melting point of ice and perform a simple experiment proving that water is more...

Students name the ways in which they use water every day and create a counting book using the ways in which they use water to illustrate it. The measure and graph the amount of water they use when they wash their hands.

Students comprehend that hot water rises up through cold water but cold water does not rixe in hot water. They comprehend that water at temperatures above 4oC decreases in density with increases in temperature. Students answer lab...

Students consider density and how it affects sinking and floating. Students make predictions, test liquids, and observe why some liquids sink and others float. They perform experiments to determine relational causality and how liquids...

Students explore the concept of density. They use the the formula Density = Mass/Volume, one can determine where certain liquids and objects will settle in a graduated cylinder. In addiiton, they design a process to separate the liquids.

Students observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

Students determine that some liquids are able to evaporate more readily than others. They create a balance using cups and a ruler to determine which end of a strip dipped in alcohol or water evaporates the fastest, hence loses the most...
