Curated OER
WS 1.2 Metric Units I/ Physical vs. Chemical
In this metric units and properties learning exercise, students determine the proper metric unit given a variety of measurements for specific items. They also identify chemical and physical properties and chemical and physical changes.
Curated OER
The Elements
Fifth graders explore the differences between elements. In this elements and atoms lesson plan students complete an activity that shows how chemicals react to a flame test.
Curated OER
Properties
In this properties activity, students classify each of the properties given as either extensive or intensive and as either physical or chemical. This activity has 1 graphic organizer and 8 fill in the blank questions.
