In this stoichiometry worksheet, students practice calculating mass or volume for specific chemical reactions. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

In this palindromes activity, students read 8 clues and write the word that can be spelled the same forwards and backwards. Students make up palindrome sentences of their own.

In this half-life learning exercise, students determine how much of the radioactive isotopes will remain after a certain amount of time. This learning exercise has 11 problems to solve.

In this elements worksheet, high schoolers complete a graphic organizer by comparing the elements' melting point, boiling point, density, and electronic configuration. Students determine the characteristics of Group 7 elements. This...

In this planets worksheet, learners review the characteristics of the inner planets: Mars, Venus, Earth, and Mercury. This worksheet has 15 multiple choice questions.

Young scholars investigate ways to reduce use of hazardous materials. In this safe substitutes activity, students review hazardous wastes used in many homes and possible safe substitutes for these harmful chemicals. Young scholars...

Students create a definition of matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students work in pairs to sort items printed on cards into several categories (matter, non-matter, and unsure) and agree on a definition of matter.

Students discover density.  In this density lesson plan, students discover the properties of objects that allow them to float or sink in water.

Students study sound and ear function. In this sound functions lesson, students investigate soundwaves by completing various experiments. Students participate in a number of sound stations and complete the comparison chart with their...

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

Students explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass lesson, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Students utilize electronic scales and...

Topping this worksheet is a comprehensive collection of notes about phase changes. The phase change graph is displayed, along with formulas for the gas laws, and information relating energy to change of phase. After reviewing these...

Students discuss the three states of matter and how they are affected by temperature. They make ice cream in a bag while observing how temperature change affects the mixture. They discuss why some specimens froze more quickly than others...

There are three separate lessons within this resource that can be used together, or that can each stand alone. In the first, five simple activities allow junior scientists to examine the amazing properties of water. In the second, they...

Students experiment with different salinities of water using straws and different colors of water. They collect and interpret data from the experiment.

Young scholars pretend they are water droplets traveling through the water cycle. Using their text, they discover the steps in the cycle and the different paths water can take. They write a report about their journey through the water...

Mixing substances together causes their properties to change. This resource illustrates that concept for fifth graders by having them consider four questions that have to do with buoyancy and boiling point. Learners begin to understand...

First of three lessons, this is a great start to a unit on energy. As you demonstrate, learners discover different types of energy and how it is converted from one form to another. They then focus in on the generation of electricity by...

In this second of three lessons on power plants, future engineers find out how we generate electricity and how coal-powered plants operate. They work in small groups to make electromagnet generators to light LED bulbs. A set of...
