Young scholars examine the techniques that may be used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  In this pollution instructional activity students simulate oceanic sequestration using chemistry.

Students examine the different techniques that may be used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  In this ocean pollution lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab to see how the ocean holds carbon dioxide.

Students study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.

In this osmosis activity, students put a strip of potato in three different solutions and document the changes in the potato to determine is the solutions were hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic. This activity has 6 short answer questions.

Students explore acids and bases and the process of neutralization.T hey practice volume measurements and observe the neutralization of an acid directly through bubble formation and indirectly through indicator color changes.

Students investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density instructional activity, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Students analyze which items float...

Students are shown an experiment making ice cream while discovering the freezing point depression. There are questions for students to answer after the demostration.

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...

Students examine the history of black-eyed peas. In this black-eyed peas instructional activity, students read about the history of the peas/beans and about how they are Oklahoma's number one vegetable crop. They also read that they are...

In this variables in experiments worksheet, students read about control variables and experimental variables before they respond to 15 graphic organizer and short answer questions.

In this nutrition worksheet, 3rd graders study food labels and label fruits and vegetables.  Students respond to 2 short answer questions and complete 26 fill in the blank questions writing the name of a fruit or vegetable that...

Students conduct a pH probe of various household products including both bases and acids. In groups, they use litmus paper to test such liquids as amonia, vinegar, and detergent to discover which are acids and which are bases. Finally,...

Pupils observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.

In this classification of changes worksheet, students identify each example as either chemical or physical changes. Students also classify other examples as either element, compound, solution, colloid, or suspensions. In the other...

Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

Students participate in an exercise which demonstrates how sediments are deposited.

Sixth graders experiment with mixtures. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders determine which mixtures are considered heterogeneous, a suspension, a solution or a colloid. Students create a data sheet of what they discover.

Learners explore and model the characteristics of the ocean floor and near shore environments through in-class demonstrations, laboratory activities, and internet research. They use classroom materials to research the characteristics of...

In this turtles worksheet, students read two pages of facts about turtles. Students match four kinds of turtle pictures to their habitats.

Pupils watch videos about unusual fish behavior and write to marine scientists about the proper care of fish. In this fish lesson plan, students watch the videos on how to properly transfer fish to saltwater, and they do so in an aquarium.

Students identify the various adaptations of reptiles and amphibians. After distinguishing between reptiles and amphibians, students discuss the ways in which their adaptations aid in their survival. They participate in a hands on...

Students measure the heat of physical and chemical changes in reactions.  In this chemistry lesson students determine at what extent changes emit or absorb heat. 

Pupils learn the historical context of mask-making explore the elements of the art form.

Pupils research and describe how currents are formed. In groups, they relate specific terms to the formation of currents and locate different currents on a world map. They also examine tides, how they are formed and how they are...
