Students 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.

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 create a mini-version of a landfill. They examine the materials they use everyday and determine if they decompose or not. They identify the materials as renewable or nonrenewable as well.

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Students (teachers) complete the activity, they should not come in contact with Alka-Seltzer. They comprehend that the density of a gas can be calculated from its mass and volume. Pupils calculate the volume of gas generated by...

In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.

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.

Students accurately construct a model of a sanitary landfill and identify the parts of the landfill and explain their function. They work in grous using a clear plastic box, modeling clay, soil and a variety of garbage to create their...

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.

Young scholars 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.

Students understand that an aquifer can become a non-renewable resource if it is not used wisely. Students do an experiment that recreates an aquifer in the classroom.

Students examine the materials that comprise the products they use. Students describe whether these materials are renewable or nonrenewable resource. Students observe what happens to materials when placed in a landfill.

Students are led through three activities to explore the effect of temperature fluctuations on the growth and survival of aquatic plants, clams, and shrimp eggs.

Learners investigate the negative effects that litter has on the environment and their community. They photograph areas of litter in their community and write a reaction to the pictures.

Students study the water quality of a stream in their area, by measuring the temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity. They integrate biology with earth science when using the microscope to study the living organisms in the water.

Young scholars collaborate in an experiment where they decompose water into simpler substances through the process of electrolysis. They collect, measure, and observe data and then place the data into a table. Accomodations for...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of a tetrahedron and how it is formed with its congruent faces. They practice making the shape by practicing the folding paper to create the shape. Students continue the lesson with the estimation...

Eighth graders examine what materials cause water hardness and the relative measure of water hardness in a two part lab activity. In part one, 8th graders add an assigned soap test solution to eleven different test tube solutions in...

Middle schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of water chemistry. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students also consider an experiment to observe how water has the abiility to exist as three...

In this balancing equations worksheet, students determine the type of reaction and write the balanced equation. Students read the word description and write the symbol of each element using the periodic table.

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete a six question multiple choice quiz about chemistry. This is an on-line interactive worksheet.

Students identify items commonly sent to landfills and summarize percentages/fractions of different items in landfills Students create a pizza pie graph of landfill components

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...
