Students will be reading an article and answering questions on Solar Panels to help them complete their model of how the solar panel converts the sun's energy into electricity,.

In this lesson students will be able to make their own slime using chemistry and chemical reactions then use their slime as a model for fractions while reading a short story called, "Slimey is Half."

This Lesson Plan demonstrates how sound waves work. It also helps kids work with their peers and expand their understanding of how sound waves can cause vibrations which can cause matter to move

Mixtures and Solutions: Students investigate how various mixtures can be separated. While making a mixture of salt and water, connections are made to global water supplies and the amount of fresh and

2nd grade students will work collaboratively to describe, illustrate, and communicate their understanding of the states of matter involving liquids, solids, and gases. The lesson includes extension

Day 2 - The students are then challenged to design controlled experiments to identify the substances responsible for the observed chemical and physical changes.

Day 1 - The purpose of this inquiry-based demonstration is to have students make observations about the changes that occur when several substances are mixed.

Assign your students elements from the periodic table and have them create tiles for their element(s). Once all the tiles are complete, you will have a unique periodic table for your classroom! While
