Students explain the physical properties of matter. They, in groups, perform a variety of experiments, each demonstrating a different property of matter. A very nice, hands-on lesson!

Students discuss transition metals, their properties, and where they are located on the periodic table as well as why transition metals are ideal for coins. After discussion, they conduct an experiment using copper in the form of old...

Students study matter. In this science lesson plan, students examine the relationships among gravity, weight, and mass, the metric measurement of distance and volume, and density and its application to physical properties.

Students explore various states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students recognize the properties of each state of matter and recognize the similarities and differences between the three states of matter.

Students gain an understanding of air pressure. In this science lesson plan, students define weather, understand pressure, specifically air pressure, demonstrate the pushing power and other properties of air, and learn how a barometer is...

Learners discover states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students define matter, identify states of matter, explain properties of matter, and demonstrate the various uses of the states of matter.

Students use Oobleck to investigate the properties of colloids. In this Oobleck and colloid lesson, students listen to the beginning of  Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss. They experiment with Oobleck (corn starch, water, and...

Fourth graders participate in a simple experiment that shows the ratio of elements that make up water.

Students investigate the structure and development of the periodic table. In this periodic table lesson plan, students are given colored strips of paper that represent different atoms. They classify the atoms based on the paper's...

Young scholars investigate soap, how it is made and its structure. In this soap lesson, students observe a demonstration of soap being made. Young scholars observe the properties of soap and how soap performs in "real-life" situations...

Students study the characteristics of a stream habitat. In this life science lesson, students use sieves, nets, and jars to collect aquatic organisms. Students also measure the temperature of the stream and calculate the speed of the...

Young scholars perform two experiments to show the properties of enzymes. They use pectinase to produce apple juice from applesauce to show enzyme action and then taste the difference between raw and boiled papaya seeds as evidence of...

Students investigate the properties of solids, liquids and gases. In this states of matter lesson plan, students observe dry ice and its characteristics. They calculate the density of dry ice and observe the sublimation of the dry ice...

Third graders observe properties of three worms. In this living and non-living lesson, 3rd graders study characteristics of living and non-living worms. Students experiment to find how light, heat and moisture effects each of the worms....

In this minerals worksheet, learners answer fifteen multiple choice questions about mineral formation, volcano and mountain formation, mineral tests and properties of minerals.

Students discover the properties of chlorophyll in plants. In this plant biology instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to find where the chlorophyll in the plant is located. Students are split into small groups and study...

Students conduct experiments to identify the different properties of oxygen. In this chemistry lesson plan, students examine its importance to life on Earth. They explore the historic dispute about oxygen's discovery.

Seventh graders are able to demonstrate the harmful effects of an acidic solution. They become aware of the harmful effects of acid rain. Students make predictions before they began the experiment. If vingegar contains acid, then how...

Students read A Tree is Nice and It Could Still Be a Tree. In this tree planting instructional activity, students compare and contrast private property and common resources. Students identify the needs of a tree and follow the directions...
