- Exploring properties of matter with submersibles
- This inquiry-based learning activity allows students to explore the relationships between mass, volume, density, and buoyancy as they manipulate various materials to construct a submersible “vehicle” for deep-sea research.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science)
- By Miriam Sutton.
- Float, sink, flink!
- In this lesson, students will learn to make things flink, meaning they neither float to the top nor sink to the bottom of a fluid. They will discover that whether an object floats or sinks depends not only on the properties of the object itself, but also on the properties of the fluid (either gas or liquid) in which it is situated.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2–4 Science)
- By Erin Denniston.
- Magic water and convection
- This lesson will give students a demonstration of how heat affects water particles.

- Weathering the water cycle: Condensation
- This lesson introduces students to condensation as one phase of the water cycle. Through the use of the four lessons in this series students will learn that the water cycle is a continuous cycle. The other lessons in this series include lessons on evaporation and precipitation as well as a conclusion.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Science)
- By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.
- Weathering the water cycle: Evaporation
- Students will learn that evaporation is one of the three stages of the water cycle. The other lessons in this series include lessons on condensation and precipitation as well as a conclusion.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Science)
- By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.
- Weathering the water cycle: Precipitation
- Students will learn that precipitation is one of the three stages of the water cycle and how it relates to the other stages. The other lessons in this series include lessons on evaporation and condensation as well as a conclusion.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2 and 5 Mathematics and Science)
