Students explore the concept of environmental stewardship. In this science lesson, students examine the effects of oil spills and investigate clean-up methods as they participate in a hands-on activity.

Students examine the materials that can be used to clean up an oil spill. They experiment with vegetable oil and a variety of substances to see which clean the oil the best.

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...

Students make a volcano out of a soda bottle, flower, salt, oil, and more. In this volcanoes lesson plan, students also read about volcanoes.

Students conduct a simple test to determine how many drops of each of three liquids can be placed on a penny before spilling over. They come up with an explanation for their observations about different amounts of liquids a penny can hold.

In this soap worksheet, students produce soap in the laboratory and test their product by washing away engine oil with their soap. Students answer four questions about tests they perform on their soap.

Students experiment with the cohesion of water molecules. In this surface tension lesson, students estimate how many drops of water a full glass can take before overflowing. They watch a video that explains water molecules.

Students investigate the properties of water. In this chemistry of water lesson plan, students observe a demonstration of the properties of water using sand, sugar, oil, vinegar and salad dressing. Students experiment with water, pepper,...

Learners practice 12 different water color techniques and then use at least 5 of the techniques to create a painting of a landscape.

Students observe experiments in density and describe the results. In the experiment, milk, corn syrup, and oil are added in different orders to three glasses, while one other glass contains only water. As objects are dropped into each...

Students conduct an experiment to show how water gets contaminated through neighborhood runoffs.

Students rotate through various hands-on experiment stations to explore the concept and properties of different types of matter. They compare some properties of solids, liquids and gases and describe how matter changes from one state to...

Students experiment with silly putty.  In this chemical changes lesson students work in groups, perform tests and collect data.

Students develop an awareness of what happens to water contaminated through neighborhood runoffs. Students perform an experiment that shows what happens to runoff when it's diverted to different places.

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

Third graders investigate rubbing two objects together to produce heat.

Robert Andrews Millikan was a prominent American physicist who made lasting contributions to both pure science and science education. He is particularly well known for his highly accurate determination of the charge of an electron via...
