Lesson Plan: Pothole Science Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)
In this lesson, students investigate how the density and therefore the volume, of water changes when it freezes.
-
Polymers, Scientific Method, Physical Properties, Mixture | Elementary School, Middle School
Lab: Polymer Investigation Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)
In this lab, students will follow the procedure for creating a polymer, flubber, which will be similar in consistency to Silly Putty. Students will then design an experiment to test a physical property of the flubber that they have created using the scientific method.

Mixtures, Mixture, Physical Properties, Molecular Structure | Elementary School, High School, Middle School
Demonstration: Analyzing Mixtures Mark as Favorite (11 Favorites)
In this demonstration, the teacher will create a sequence of mixtures in a single test tube. Water, oil, food coloring and soap will be used in this demonstration to introduce the concepts of heterogeneous and homogeneous solutions as well as the idea of miscibility. Students will also have the opportunity to analyze the properties, such as surface tension of each component used.
