Curated OER
Substances And Chemical Reactions
Young scholars observe chemical reactions that produce obvious effects. They begin by exploring a different substance every day for one week. They compare the substances and examine how substances can be solids, liquids, or gases.

What's the Matter? (Living and Non-Living Things)
Understand how chemical reactions recombine atoms to create the "chemicals of life". An experiment, showing the basic chemical reactions of an iron nail or a match, helps young children start their understanding of permanent changes.

Heating Can Make a Change That Cannot Go Back Again
Heat is a gateway to change. While exploring the properties of baking powder, pupils learn that some heat-related changes are permanent. Using an animation, the lesson uses chocolate chip cookies as an example.
Curated OER
Ice Cream in a Bag
Here is a good version of this classic chemistry activity. Learners are given a simple recipe for how to make home-made ice cream by putting all of the ingredients into a ziploc bag. Before doing the activity, I would recommend having a...
Curated OER
Acid Rain Environment Pollution
Students combine different materials to create chemical reactions. For this chemical reaction lesson plan, students will combine different materials to create chemical reactions and define these results as acids or bases. They will also...
Curated OER
Applied Science - Physics Post-Lab
Young scholars investigate energy. In this Physics lesson, students explore different sources of energy: heat, nuclear, and chemical. Young scholars sing an electricity song.
Curated OER
Weathering
Second graders explore weathering and how the water cycle plays a part in weathering. In this weathering instructional activity, 2nd graders put gravel and sugar cubes in a jar and shake, simulating weathering. Students use the...
Curated OER
Ice Cream Science
Students review properties of matter and discuss how materials change when things are done to them. They observe how materials change as a reaction to temperature by following the procedure to make ice cream and recording the temperature...
Curated OER
Ice Energy
Learners explore how chemicals change water. In this chemical change lesson, students participate in an experiment to observe how salt effects ice and how ice cream freezes.
Curated OER
Acid Rain: The Disappearing Statue
Second graders examine the effects of acid rain on statues and buildings. They participate in an experiment in which they use different chemicals on building materials. They observe and record their observations.
Curated OER
What can I do?
Pupils identify feelings and explore positive ways to handle conflict. In this mental health lesson students discuss feelings and how to constructively handle them.
Curated OER
Enzymes
Students explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them. In this enzymes lesson students complete experiments on enzyme properties.
Curated OER
Plant Structure, Function and Growth
Students study three structures of a plant as well as their locations and functions. In this botany lesson students complete several activities on plant organs and their functions.
Curated OER
Characteristics of Living Things
Students examine the characteristics of living things. They list the differences between living and non-living things, explore areas around the school, and create a Venn diagram for items found in the school areas.
Curated OER
Baking Soda Rockets
Learners make a baking soda rocket out of vinegar, baking soda, and a soda bottle. In this rockets lesson plan, students discuss the liquid, solid, and gas combination.
Curated OER
