Elementary School Physical Science Lesson (by rating)

Students will investigate the states of matter of water as it changes from frozen to liquid states. The “Science Kids” series is intended to help teachers implement developmentally appropriate, hands-on science activities for children in Preschool, Kindergarten and the early grades. The activities in these packets are based on the scientific method and encourage inquiry-based learning. All activities can be differentiated to meet the needs of your students.

Investigations in this unit include:

✔ "Ice Treasures"

✔ "Light or Dark?"

✔ "Adding Salt and Color"

✔ "Ice Cube Race"

✔ "Which is Heavier?"

✔ "Oil and Ice"

✔ "Painting with Ice"

The final investigation in this unit is a student-designed investigation that will test how certain ingredients affect the time it takes an ice cube to melt.

The packet also includes a fun recipe for Ice Cream in a Bag! (And the scientific explanation for how this recipe works.)

• Are you looking for a resource that will explain the chemical and physical changes of matter in a simple way?
• This resource was made to address the NGSS 2-PS1-3. This deals with reversible and irreversible changes of matter. While this is a second-grade standard, it is appropriate for any grade addressing physical and chemical changes in matter.
• There are posters defining the terms as well as examples. Picture cards showing changes are included. The students must decide what type of change is occurring. There is a suggested YouTube and a recording sheet on which students can show their understanding of the topic.
• Check out the preview to see if this resource is right for you and your students.
