Water and Ice
Students explore water and how it changes forms. For this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows them how water changes form and what it looks and feels like.
Curated OER
When Land Ice Melts
Students investigate what happens when land ice melts. They discuss how the melting of land ice is different than the melting of icebergs. Students observe what happens as the ice melts.
Curated OER
What Changes Occur When Ice Melts?
Students explore the physical process of melting. They observe melting ice and answer questions related to energy transfer during phase changes.
Curated OER
Will The Ice Melt and Overflow?
Students observe what happens when ice in a glass of water starts to melt. In this ice lesson plan, students see that the ice does not make the water overflow, it simply occupies the space it did in frozen form.
Curated OER
Solids And Liquids
Students discuss the properties of solids and liquids. They complete a worksheet to show the boiling and melting points of several substances and consider if these factors affect how humans use materials.

Heating and Cooling Materials
When an object is heated or cooled, a change occurs. Learners will work through this presentation and decide whether or not the changes are reversible. They learn about heating and cooling, then assess changes that have taken place. This...
Curated OER
Transition Elements
In this transition elements instructional activity, students complete 10 fill in the blank statements about the properties of transition elements. Then students will match 10 elements with the use of that particular element.

Kindergarten Tries to Save the Snowman!
Students look at the properties of snow. In this snow lesson, students discuss what they know about snow and what makes snow melt. They come up with ideas to slow the melting process of snow.
Curated OER
Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
For this elements, compounds, and mixtures worksheet, students answer questions about the properties of elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students identify the physical changes that is made to a substance to determine if it is an element.
Curated OER
Snowman
Students read books, learn about the letter s, and eat snow all to learn about snowmen. For this snowman lesson plan, students also view ice melting and sing songs.
Curated OER
Compounds and Molecules
In this compounds worksheet, students compare separating elements of a compound and substances in a mixture. Students review melting and boiling point. This worksheet has 1 fill in the blank and 5 short answer questions.
