Technology of the Deep: Experiments with Buoyant Forces
Pupils conduct a series of experiments to study the effects of temperature and salinity on the buoyancy of an object in water. They devise ways to make floating and sinking objects neutrally buoyant.
Curated OER
How to Read a Thermometer
Learners' temperature is measured using an instrument called a thermometer.
Curated OER
Does the Sun Influence the Temperature of the Earth?
Students explore whether the sun influences the temperature of the earth.
Curated OER
Solar Energy
Students find out where on campus is the most reliable and/or the strongest energy, record outside temperature and temperature inside the solar box during each week, and participate in discussion questions and make generalizations.
Curated OER
The Lake Effect
Fourth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating the effects of water and air temperature on precipitation. They create graphs demonstrating their findings using Claris Works for Kids.
Curated OER
Standard Deviation
Students find city temperatures and analyze their means to find the standard deviation. They calculate the standard deviation of monthly temperature means.
Curated OER
Weather
Pupils describe the weather and temperature in the city, state, and/or country in which they live during the 4 seasons.
Curated OER
Weather
Learners participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...
Curated OER
More on Temperature and Solubility
Students discover how temperature effects the solubility of solutes by experimenting with a range of temperatures. They develop skills for observing, inferring, measuring, comparing and contrasting.
Curated OER
School Temperatures
Students collect and record temperatures throughout the school. Using this information they compare and contrast the temperatures recorded from various spots throughout the school.
Curated OER
Mechanical Properties
High schoolers explore the concept of hardness. In this physical science lesson plan, students will be using clay heated at different temperatures to study hardness based on the indention left. High schoolers will also be identifying the...

Measurement Worksheet Maker 2
In this measurement instructional activity, students complete 12 conversion problems about length, temperature, volume, and more. This is also a link to make more worksheets like this.
Curated OER
Measurement: When Degrees Matter
Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. In this general science lesson, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.
Curated OER
Weather Elements and Instruments
Eighth graders identify the different weather elements. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders explain the difference between relative humidity and dew point. They discuss the different instruments used to predict weather.
Curated OER
Remove Pollutants from Water
Students examine how to remove pollutants from water to create clean water. In this boiling water instructional activity students complete a lab activity that purifies water.
Curated OER
Heat Absorption
Young scholars examine how heat moves from substance to another. In this heat absorption lesson students identify ways that heat is transferred and analyze data.
Curated OER
Thermal Energy Transfer - Conduction
Students examine how heat passes through a pane glass window. In this energy transfer lesson students complete a lab activity.
Curated OER
Examine an Ecosystem
Pupils examine an ecosystem and record what they see. In this ecosystem instructional activity students use a worksheet to help them identify the organisms in their ecosystem.
Curated OER
MTV no PTV
Students study the gas laws in particular the three variables; pressure, temperature and volume. In this gas laws lesson students complete an activity and discuss their findings.
Curated OER
Evaporation and Condensation
Students explore how temperature effects the processes of evaporation and condensation and how the air may be polluted by the evaporation of certain compounds. For this temperature lesson students complete a lab and a worksheet.
Curated OER
Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
Students examine the relationship between temperature and brightness. In this astronomy instructional activity students will correlate the evolution of stars to the HR diagram plotted.
Curated OER
Create your own thermometer
Students participate in an activity where they build a calibrated thermometer. In this thermometer lesson students complete this activity and take notes.
