Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.

Students explore primary and secondary colors. In this art lesson plan, students use jars of colored water to create the secondary colors.

Students learn how cold and warm water behave in the marine environment due to convection currents. Students also conduct an experiment to demonstrate the formation of a convection current.

Young scholars perform an experiment which will illustrate how to measure the approximate pH of chemicals in water using a pH indicator. They understand that a pH indicator is a chemical that changes color when it comes in contact with...

Students observe a scientific experiment and pose a hypothesis. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions about the combination of alcohol in water and how it will affect a floating ice cube.

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

Students compare colors. In this color lesson, students determine which colors are primary and which are secondary. Students investigate rainbows and create a piece of art organizing colors as they appear in a rainbow.

Students discover the purpose of plant roots and how they move water through a vascular system. They conduct an experiment using colored water to observe the movement of water through the roots and stem of a plant in a controlled...

Students explore the concept of floating objects (ice).  In this floating lesson, students conduct an investigation in which they hypothesize about the time that an ice boat will last floating in water.  Students record their...

Students examine the influences of water and mulch on soil temperature.  In this investigative activity students complete a soil experiment. 

Fifth graders conduct an experiment.  In this changing matter lesson, 5th graders receive a cup of crystals, record their observations, add water to the crystals and record new observations. Students then discuss the differences...

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 make their own pH indicator from red cabbage. Red cabbage contains a chemical that turns from its natural deep purple color to red in acids and blue in bases. Students boil the cabbage to get the pH indicator.

In this biomes worksheet, learners color the map of North America according to the biome clues. Students then answer questions about the North American biomes.

Students observe the effects of limestone on the acidity of water. Some areas of the nation have a lot of limestone in lake bottoms and in soil, which helps neutralize the effects of acid rain. Students see this effect first hand.

Students participate in a hands-on activity to see how plants take up water and dissolved pollutants.

Students construct a thermograph for maximum and minimum temperatures for the 2-week period. They illustrate how the earth's atmosphere is heated by convection and conduction currents and evaporation of water.

In this paramecium worksheet, students sharpen their science skills as they color the parts of a paramecium according to the instructions and then respond to 15 analysis questions.

In this Roman Empire worksheet, students complete a map activity in which they label and color civilizations, countries and physical features as instructed. There are no maps included.

Students create a watercolor painting of a color or an object that make the student feel a certain way. They describe how this color makes them feel through writing a short poem.

Stduents create and color plaster landforms, and describe how weathering and erosion change the Earth's surface.

In this counting worksheet, pupils trace the numbers from 1 to 10. Students count and color the animals and tell how many are animals that live in the water.

Students discover how salt water makes a pencil float better than freshwater by measuring and comparing the lengths of the portion of the pencil that floats above the water surface. They then determine if an unknown water sample is...

Learners discuss Fifty State Quarters Program, compare and contrast location of land and water on map of United States, while also becoming aware of physical shape of nation and home state, and explore coastal areas in United States.
