Customary Capacity
Third graders convert customary units of capacity to make a gallon man out of construction paper. They use the computer to make a tree map of gallons, quarts, pints, and cups to show these conversions.
Curated OER
What is pH and Why is it Important?
Students investigate acids, bases, and pH, and related this knowledge to the problem of acid deposition.
Curated OER
Surface Tension and 3D Soap Films
Students are introduced to the concept of surface tension, its dependence on material composition, and how it can produce uniquely shaped surfaces.
Curated OER

Curated OER
What is the Best Solution to Dye Easter Eggs?
Students use red and blue litmus paper to determine the category of common substances. They then set up an experiment using vinegar, water, and ammonia (or milk of magnesia) to determine that acids make the best solution for dyeing...
Curated OER
WATER CHEMISTRY
Students list reasons why water is important and investigate and graph the freezing points of different solutions.
Curated OER
Models and Algorithms to Solve Multiplication Problems
Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. For this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...
Curated OER
Figuring Elapsed Time
Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.
Curated OER
Changes in Matter
Eighth graders, in groups, explain the difference between physical and chemical changes.
Curated OER
Changes In Matter, "The Big Chill"
Third graders investigate why ice cream does not go through any chemical changes when it is exposed to physical changes. They describe the three states of matter in either written or verbal form. Then students experiment with ice cream...
Curated OER
Permafrost
Students use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. In this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the active...
Curated OER
What's The Matter?
Fourth graders accurately describe various states of matter, Through experimentation, they change a variable to create a new state of matter. Students record their observations about the way matter is changed and the changes that occur...
Curated OER
Ice Cream Blizzards
Fourth graders explore whether the making of homemade ice cream is a physical change or a chemical change in a lab experiment. Students identify states of matter, describe the physical properties of states, and collect temperature data...
Curated OER
Icebergs Ahead!
Young scholars examine icebergs and how they are suspended in water, why ice floats, the melting process of an iceberg, and the floating behavior of ice compared to that of a cork through a lab activity.
Pennsylvania Department of Education
Determine Volume of Solids Using Water Displacement
Students explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality lesson, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Students utilize a real life situation...
Curated OER
Earth Science: The Structure of the Earth
Young scholars identify and complete activities about the structure of the Earth. In this Earth structure lesson, students view a Powerpoint about the Earth's layers and complete a diagram. young scholars compare temperatures in the...
Curated OER
Place Value: Metric System
In this metric system worksheet, students read about metric and place value relationships, examine some sample problems, and then complete 5 conversion charts.
