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
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
Exploring chemical reactions is highly engaging for the students if taught in a student-centered lesson. This lesson was inspired by the activity of 6th-Grade Amplify Science, Exploring Chemical
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
This lesson delves into Matter and why it matters. What makes it what and how we can change these substances.
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
Students will listen to a read aloud of Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Suess. Students will be able to create Oobleck slime and explore non-Newtonian fluid called a dilatant. Students will learn
In this lesson, students will construct a solar updraft tower. They will use heat lamps to warm the air inside the tower, resulting in the propeller spinning. This lesson helps students gain a better
This STEAM project will have us exploring some of the issues or problems associated with food and creating solutions to educate and persuade our community about how our food is produced and making the
In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation to see how temperature can affect the state of matter.
In this lesson students will learn about the 3 types of matter and go on a matter scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt students will make graphs to show the different types of matter that they
Engage students in an interactive lesson exploring Brownian motion. Through hands-on experiments and discussions, they'll discover the random movement of particles and its applications in science and
Teaching with phenomena is a great way to connect real world events with inquiry based learning in the classroom. In this lesson students will observe and investigate a phenomenon that involves the
The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density
Students will explore the role that decomposers play in the nitrogen cycle. First students will gather information through research and activities to construct a model of the nitrogen cycle. Then
In this lesson, students will incorporate science and math concepts as they investigate properties of matter. They will apply mathematical concepts and formulas in a hands on activity where they
