In this air worksheet, students will choose the correct definition for atmosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, and pollutant. Then students will complete a concept map showing what components make up air. This worksheet has 4 multiple...

Students discover how engineers use sound energy. They participate in hands-on activities in which they discover how we know sound exists. They identify different pitches and frequencies as well.

In this science learning exercise, students read about chemical changes. Students also answer 3 comprehension questions about the reading.

First graders break into groups of five students and are given 15 different objects and 3 posters. They group the objects into 3 different families with all the objects in each category placed on one of the posters. They choose whatever...

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.

Third graders rotate between three property stations, the solid station, the gas station, and the liquid station. They experiment with each activity until the teacher gives the signal to change.

Fourth graders experiment with the viscosity of different liquids. They use a stopwatch to time the a steel ball as it drops through different liquids.

Students examine how soil holds together and what the effect of particle size and water content is on soil.  In this engineering instructional activity students complete a lab, record their observations and discuss what they...

Learners predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

First graders investigate the different stages of the water cycle. They conduct Internet research and complete a water cycle WebQuest. Students identify what happens at each stage of the water cycle, and write about each stage in their...

In this scientific method instructional activity, students read about the steps of the scientific method, ways to measure mass and volume and how to read a meniscus. Students use the scientific method to determine if an object is a...

Students explore physical science by participating in a science activity. In this liquids instructional activity, students discuss how fluids can be affected by motion unlike solids. Students define other scientific vocabulary terms and...

For this ideal gas worksheet, students read about the conditions necessary for an ideal gas to exist. They also read about the deviations from the ideal gas situation and answer four questions about ideal gases.

For this solvent worksheet, students explore why water is considered a universal solvent. Students explore what can change dissolving rates. This worksheet has 8 matching, 3 short answer, 11 fill in the blank, and 4 problems to solve.

Eighth graders examine different solutions.  For this solution material lesson students complete a lab activity and several worksheets.
