This Water Cycle Experiment Worksheet is a great resource for students to use to conduct their own experiment on the water cycle. By doing this experiment, students will have a better understanding of how the water cycle works. This worksheet is a great tool for teachers to use in their classrooms.
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in nutrition and health (food groups, recommended daily amounts, protein/carbohydrates/fats/vitamins/minerals, calories, water, food labels) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
Teach the concept of induced magnetism and magnetic poles through a hands-on paper clip chain experiment.
Teach students about capillary action and its role in the water cycle through notes, a hands-on experiment, and a slideshow presentation.
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in work and machines (simple machines, levers, inclined planes, pulleys, wheel and axle, wedge, screw, force, friction, gravity, inertia) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
A multi-file distance-learning/homeschool chemistry pack teaching mixtures, solutions, dissolving, suspensions, and saturated solutions via an animated PowerPoint, worksheets, and a photocopiable lesson.
A published earth-science unit book teaching the causes, characteristics, and effects of hurricanes and tornadoes through informational readings, diagrams, hands-on experiments, and vocabulary/research activities.
A published 10-chapter teacher resource book introducing young students to weather types and meteorology through scientific explanations, hands-on experiments, and cross-curricular activities.
Teaches how light reflects off plane mirrors (transparent/translucent/opaque materials, luminous/non-luminous objects, angle of incidence equals angle of reflection, periscopes) as a self-directed distance-learning physics pack.
A comprehensive hands-on science unit (Teaching & Learning Company/Lorenz, 2008, by Patricia O'Brien) teaching plate tectonics, earthquake causes and measurement, and tsunamis through readings, diagrams, and hands-on activities/experiments.
A 24-page photocopiable hands-on science activity book (Ready-Ed Publications, RED4034) covering the 'Earth and Beyond' topic for 10-12 year olds, with 8 lessons each pairing teacher notes with a student activity sheet.
A physical science unit teaching matter, atoms, molecules, states of matter, and physical vs. chemical changes through overhead teacher notes, worksheets, puzzles, and hands-on activities.
A grades 5-7 scientific-method mini-unit that teaches variable types and experimental design through building and testing paper helicopters.
Provide a comprehensive hands-on unit teaching the science of volcanoes - their types, eruption mechanics, and hazards - for grades 4-8, going beyond a basic baking-soda-and-vinegar model.
A two-part electricity unit: Part I is direct-instruction notes and 7-9 worksheets/assignments on electricity fundamentals; Part II is a role-play class project where students debate which type of power plant a fictional town should build.
Teach scientific-method thinking through 10 hands-on science experiments using common household materials.
Provide hands-on science experiments and activities across physical, earth, and life science topics for grades 3-4, supplementing the (U.S.) National Science Education Standards.
The lesson begins with two tomato plants treated differently in more than one way, prompting students to discuss why the conclusion is unreliable. Fill-in notes introduce independent, dependent, and controlled variables before students apply the terms to basketball, studying, and a derby-car scenario. A short review and model answers support the follow-up discussion.
A large collection (101 numbered activities) of hands-on science activities exploring everyday phenomena (breathing, weather, gravity, the human body, recycling) for early-to-upper-elementary students.
One-page graphic organizer worksheet for students to record the steps of the scientific method for an investigation.
A set of 23 hands-on science labs that teach the scientific method (observation, hypothesis, communication, decision-making) through varied classroom activities and mini-experiments.
A generic, reusable graphic-organizer template guiding students through the steps of writing up any science experiment (question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, data, conclusion).
Teach physical science concepts (matter, properties of matter, elasticity, motion, and Newton's First Law) through hands-on experiments, framed around Newton's laws.
Provide 28 independent hands-on STEM/science experiment activities with supply lists and instructions for classroom, camp, or independent/group use.
