Metrics 1 Word Search
In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to the metric system. The word list includes deci, relative, meters, thousandth, and liquid.
Curated OER
Water 1: Water and Ice
Students explore forms that water can take and examine the water cycle. In this hands-on science lesson plan, students participate in activities that require them to change water to a solid and back to a liquid again.

Sixth Grade Fractions
In this fractions worksheet, 6th graders complete multiple choice questions about fractions of amounts of liquid and solid items. Students complete 15 problems.
Curated OER
Baking Soda Rockets
Students make a baking soda rocket out of vinegar, baking soda, and a soda bottle. For this rockets lesson plan, students discuss the liquid, solid, and gas combination.
Curated OER
Activity #8 U Are So Dense!
Students watch as the teacher demonstrates: if a single liquid is placed in a U-shaped tube, the level of liquid on both sides are the same. When the mass is greater on one side than the other, liquid is pushed from one side to the...
Curated OER
Evaporation of Alcohol and Water
Learners investigate the process that occurs when liquids evaporaate. They test water and alcohol to determine which substance evaporates more quickly and relate the rate to energy changes.
Curated OER
Computer Science: Temperature
Students conduct an experiment on heat transfer and how it works. They record the temperature in whatever environment is surrounding the container and run experiments that use at least two different ambient temperatures. Students...
Curated OER
The States of Water
Students observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas.
Curated OER
Activity # 13 Float or Sink?
Students have seen that solids, which are more dense than a liquid, that sinks in that liquid and solids, which are less dense than a liquid, that floats on that liquid. They use a metal boat to float in water. Pupils comprehend that...
Curated OER
What Changes Occur When Water Freezes?
Learners investigate the changes that occur at the molecular level when a liquid becomes a solid. They freeze water in baby jars and observe the changes that occur in the process.
Curated OER
From Caterpillar to Butterfly
Students read and discuss the book about the butterfly and create their own butterflies using liquid watercolors and pipe cleaners. They then create a butterfly development book, included in the lesson, and color the pictures using...
Curated OER
Molecules
Young scholars combine movement with science in this fun integrated lesson plan. When students are "liquid" they can "melt" or "ooze" at the end and when they are are "solids" they can "freeze" in a shape.
Curated OER
Atmospheric Pressure
Ninth graders explore the abstract idea of the atom and explain the differences and similarities between solids, liquids, and gases. They understand the molecular differences between solids, liquids, and gases.
Curated OER
Yellow Pod
Students use appropriate skills to design and conduct scientific investigation. They sort and classify various ingredients and analyze their investigation. Finally, students describe the observable states of matter, bot solids and liquids.
Curated OER
Up, Up, and Away
Pupils create a model to explore the water cycle. Students also perform different experiments to witness water changing from a liquid to a gas. Pupils are asked to if they can find ways for water to go away without pouring the water out.
Curated OER
Virus Tracker
Sixth graders will simulate the spread of a virus such as HIV through a population by "sharing" (but not drinking) the water in a plastic cup with several classmates. Although invisible, the water in a few of the cups will already be...
Curated OER
Halloween Scene
In this math worksheet, students solve 4 story problems which pertain to Halloween. Students estimate, calculate prices, and convert liquid measures to solve these problems.
Curated OER
Water & Ice
Students investigate the properties of water. In this states of water activity, students explore how water goes from liquid to solid and back to liquid again. Students use measurement, observation, and communication to describe the change.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.
