Curated OER
Laboratory - Density of a Material
Students conduct a lab (with water, guar gum and sodium borate) and carefully record physical and chemical properties and changes throughout the session, and experiment with weighing by difference.
Curated OER
Determining Liquid Densities
Students practice determining liquid densities in a short, hands-on lab activity. Students use a graduated cylinder to measure out 100 milliliters of a liquid, find its mass using a balance, and record measurements in a data table....
Curated OER
Water Hardness- Causes and Testing
Eighth graders examine what materials cause water hardness and the relative measure of water hardness in a two part lab activity. In part one, 8th graders add an assigned soap test solution to eleven different test tube solutions in...
Curated OER
Create Your Own Cloud
Students explore and analyze weather conditions, climates, compositions and characteristics of the atmosphere and weather patterns. They explain in detail the water cycle and its relationship to weather patterns. A lab experiment is...
Curated OER
What Is Electricity
Fourth graders develop an understanding of static electricity and discover how to detect a charge by using electroscopes. For this electricity lesson, 4th graders complete a lab on electricity and discuss the results with the class.
Curated OER
Diving Raisins
Young scholars participate in a mini lab to explore density. For this density lesson students view a demonstration and answer questions.
Curated OER
The Influence of Carbon Dioxide on the Chemistry of Soda
Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry lesson, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.
Curated OER
Magnetic Testing
Students explore magnetism. They make observations of everyday items regarding their magnetic attraction and use their experiences to make a prediction.
Curated OER
Making Soap
Students explore what chemical indicators are and use pH paper to determine if something is alkaline or basic. In this pH lesson students manufacture their own soap.
Curated OER
Exercise and Heartrate
Fourth graders experiment to find the effects of exercise on the heart rate. In this exercise and heart rate lesson, 4th graders create questions about exercise and heart rate. Students use the scientific method to test and analyze...
Curated OER
How Sweet It is! A Colorful Sugar Solution Density Column
Students examine the affect of density. Using a graduated cylinder and equally prepared volumes of sugar-water solutions and food color, students observe a sugar rainbow. They discover that the greater the amount of sugar in the...
Curated OER
pH Scale, acids and bases
Eighth graders define the pH scale, acids and bases. They distinguish between acidic and basic solutions using litmus paper. Students review simple chemical formulas. They define the subscript and coefficient in terms of chemical...
Curated OER
Van de Graaff Generator
Students explore static electricity using the Van de Graaff generator. In this physics instructional activity, students construct their own Van de Graaff using simple materials. They explain how charges accumulate on this device.
Curated OER
