A 14-chapter set of hands-on labs and worksheets introducing young students to the properties, uses, and importance of water (states of water, dissolving, evaporation, pressure, surface tension, the water cycle, conservation).
Guide students through a hands-on friction experiment comparing the pulling force needed to move a wooden block across different surfaces, then reflect on results.
A 1st-grade science resource of hands-on, low-prep experiments (e.g., magnetism, structural stability) adapted for neurodiverse learners, using scaffolded steps, visual prompts, and AI-assisted guidance.
Reading-comprehension and activity unit on Food and Energy for grades 1-5, part of the Classroom Complete Press 'Hands-On' science series (single-topic chapter excerpt of a larger multi-topic book).
A full science workbook (Book C of the 'Simple and Fun Science' series, ages 7-8) teaching science process skills (observing, inferring, measuring, predicting, problem-solving) through hands-on activities.
Soda Pop Preferences - Scientific Method Lesson Included This engaging activity introduces students to the scientific method through an experiment involving their favorite soda pops. Students will form a hypothesis about which soda flavor they think will be most popular among their classmates.
Guide students through a hands-on science experiment testing the absorbency of different types of paper, recording predictions, method, results, and a conclusion.
A grade 4-5 plant-science teaching unit combining overhead-projector student notes with hands-on discovery worksheets and optional enrichment activities covering seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, plant needs, and the plant life cycle.
Teach foundational air-science concepts (air is transparent, takes up space, has weight/pressure/resistance, is a mixture of gases, the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle, smog/pollution) through hands-on experiments and activities.
First-person narrative eBook chapter ('Chapter 33: Water Bottle Rockets') from 'Middle Schoolin': 50 Stories about the Challenges, Humor, and Rewards of Teaching' by Paul Rallion, recounting a middle-school science class's water-bottle-rocket experiment used to teach Newton's three laws of motion.
The M&M activity connects a color-count investigation with graphing and a results write-up. A companion lesson introduces the scientific-method steps through student slides and a completed teacher version. Provide the sample materials and model recording data before groups compare their findings.
Reading-comprehension and activity unit on Matter and Materials for grades 1-5, part of the Classroom Complete Press 'Hands-On' science series (single-topic chapter excerpt of a larger multi-topic book).
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in the solar system (orbits, the sun, the moon and its phases, inner and outer planets, seasons, day and night) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
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.
Teach students about capillary action and its role in the water cycle through notes, a hands-on experiment, and a slideshow presentation.
A collection of 31 hands-on science 'puzzler' activities and demonstrations covering physics concepts (gravity, magnetism, balance, motion, light) framed as mysteries for students to solve.
Reading-comprehension and activity unit on Ecosystems for grades 1-5, part of the Classroom Complete Press 'Hands-On' science series (single-topic chapter excerpt of a larger multi-topic book).
Teach the concept of induced magnetism and magnetic poles through a hands-on paper clip chain experiment.
This download is a MEGA bundle of 5 different science units! These units are full of journals for students to show what they know, emergent readers to explore life cycles and even more activities!
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in simple chemistry (atomic symbols/structure, periodic table, matter, elements/compounds/mixtures, acids/bases, solvents/solutions, oxidation, gases) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in weather (Earth's uneven heating, water cycle, humidity, weather maps, wind, day/night) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
A gardening-themed activity booklet of hands-on, group-based badge-earning activities (originally for Girl Scouts) teaching garden exploration, design, plant care, and observation skills.
