Students will then review how matter changes. Thermal energy will be introduced in this product. Students will then discuss the meaning of thermal energy, how heat flows from warmer to colder objects and examples will be provided. Students will then be provided with visual examples to help them understand this process. Students will be provided with thermal energy examples and how heat moves. Students will learn there there are different forms of energy such as light, electrical, mechanical, sound, and chemical, and will learn how all of those forms change to thermal energy. Examples along with pictures are provided. Students will also learn the many ways thermal energy is used throughout out day to day life that we don't think about.

Back to School Common Science Misconceptions
By Science and STEAM Team
This common science misconceptions activity is a great way to start your science year!
The idea is that science always searches for the truth. Just because most people believe something, or for our whole lives we thought something was true doesn’t necessarily mean it is.
Students will learn to question everything.
There is a poster that explains what a misconception is, six common misconceptions and the fact, and a tips and suggestions sheet for teachers. There is also a follow-up worksheet for students to write a misconception and the fact surrounding that misconception.

Scientific Method AND Water Properties LAB - Students LOVE!
By EduCraft Marketplace
Need an activity that is engaging, hands on, requires critical thinking and peer collaboration? THIS IS IT! This is a great lab that utilizes all of these and would be great for an observation! This lab will walk through the scientific method steps, research and analyze the properties of water and other liquids. Students can see how the molecules of each liquid will react with substances. Once the experiment is completed and the students have their results, they collaborate with two other groups and record their results to compare. This eliminates having to do the experiment more than once, although I do emphasize that in an experiment, results need to be able to be repeated for it to be considered proven.
This can be used as an introductory lab for water properties for older students.
Scientific Method Work Packet and Vocabulary
By May
This scientific method can be used for any grade! It helps students work through a note taking process and practice putting the scientific method in order for the steps and through examples. Students can also create their own experiment to practice putting the steps in order!
This is great for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners! After this, students can create and practice these steps through an experiment!
What's included:
- Guided Notes
- Vocabulary Words with visuals, definitions, and vocabulary
- Scientific Method Practice
