In this activity, students will work in small groups to take vocabulary words and concepts about solutions and phase changes and break them down to the level of lower elementary age children. This will be done by writing and illustrating a children's book. Students will learn by teaching the subject and working with peers. Students are expected to come away with a solid understanding of solutions and phase changes that they were largely responsible in building themselves.

In this lesson, students use number lines to represent products of a negative integer and a positive integer, and they use patterns to understand products of two negative integers. Students write rules for products of integers.

In this activity, students use recylced two-liter bottles to create bowling pins to practice math skills and develop a method of verifying answers while bowling and keeping score.

In this lab activity, students are given a set of instructions for producing chemical reactions. Students work in pairs or small groups to investigate the reaction they are given. They determine what has occurred, what is produced, what type of reaction that has occurred, and write a chemical equation for it. The students will then demonstrate their reaction to the class with the explanation.

In this activity, students will calculate the amount of heat gained by water and lost by a metal during a simple lab experiment. This activity can be easily modified so students are tasked with identification of an unknown metal instead.

In this lesson, students will observe a tree throughout the year and recognize changes in weather and phenology using their 5 senses.

In this lab activity, students will be asked to observe and then test the properties of several different elements. In their observations they will be looking for the physical state, whether it is shiny or dull, and whether it appears malleable or brittle. For some of the elements they will also test the conductivity, malleability, and reactivity with dilute acid. From their data, they classify each element as a metal, a non-metal or a metalloid. Results will be color coded on a periodic table (e.g. Blue for metals, yellow for non-metals, and green for metalloids). They will use this to determine trends for metallic properties of the elements.

In this activity, students will understand the concept of half-life and how it relates to radioactive material. Students will determine, with a simulation activity, the half-life of a radioactive element, "Coinheadsium". Students will create and be able to recognize a graph representing the half-life of a radioactive element.

In this activity, students will test the physical properties of several samples of compounds, such as melting point and conductivity to help them classify the chemicals as ionic or covalent compounds. The students will write their own set of procedures for the tests, and construct data tables to display their results. They will then write up the evidence and discuss its meaning in a formal conclusion.

In this activity, students will investigate velocity and acceleration vectors. They will understand that vectors have both magnitude and direction components. Students will interpret the motion of a car using its related velocity and acceleration vectors and model the motion vectors using toothpicks.

In this activity, students will be provided a blank periodic table and will fill in the electron-dot model for the first twenty elements. This will help students see the relationship between numbers of valence electrons and properties of elements.

In this activity, students calculate the displacement from one corner of the school to the other, using a meter stick and recording the distances and directions needed to get there. Once all of the distances and directions are recorded, the students draw a to-scale map using vectors. Once the entire map is completed they are then instructed to calculate the displacement and direction of corner to corner of the school.

This activity is designed for students to gain understanding of how much water is located in our oceans, compared to polar ice, saltwater lakes, underwater sources, and fresh water.
