Use our Google Forms, filled with videos of experiments, animations, and questions to create remote learning assignments students can do at home! A walkthrough video is included to let teachers see how they can use these assignments with their students.

Grade 2 Chapter 1 - Properties of Materials. Students sort common objects according to characteristics such as shape, flexibility, and the material they are made from to investigate the question: Can you group objects based on their characteristics?

Grade 5 Chapter 1 - Matter is Made of Tiny Particles. Students squeeze a flexible plastic bottle filled with air and another filled with water to investigate the questions: Is an “empty” bottle really empty? and Can you force the molecules of a gas or a liquid to be closer together?

Students use tiny drops of water on a laminated drawing of a cloud to investigate the question: What makes it rain?

Grade 5 Chapter 1 - Matter is Made of Tiny Particles. Students place M&Ms in water and in a sugar solution to investigate the question: Will an M&M dissolve as well in a sugar solution as it does in plain water?

Grade 2 Chapter 1 - Properties of Materials. Students conduct a series of tests on different materials to learn about their properties to investigate the question: What are some of the characteristic properties of paper, plastic, and aluminum foil?

Students make a one-drop puddle on their hand and observe the water evaporate to investigate the question: Why do puddles dry up?

Grade 2 Chapter 1 - Properties of Materials. Students plan and conduct an absorbency test on paper, plastic, aluminum foil, and felt to investigate the question: Which material absorbs water and why?

Grade 5 Chapter 1 - Matter is Made of Tiny Particles. Students dissolve salt in water and allow the water to evaporate to investigate the question: What process causes salt to dissolve in water and then the water to evaporate?

Students watch a video of a snowflake forming and use cotton swabs to make a model of a snowflake to investigate the question: What makes it snow?

Grade 5 Chapter 1 - Matter is Made of Tiny Particles. Students use water, ice, and plastic wrap to model the ocean and cold upper atmosphere to investigate the question: What are the main processes in the water cycle that make it rain?

Grade 2 Chapter 1 - Properties of Materials. Students use what they’ve learned about the properties of paper, plastic, and aluminum foil to investigate the question: Which materials are best for making a boat that can hold the most pennies before sinking?

Students use their breath to make strips of paper move a little and then a lot to investigate the question: What is wind?

Students make an insulating “coat” for a cup of warm water to investigate the question: How does a coat keep you warm in the winter?

Students design, build, and test a structure to block the sun to investigate the question: How can you design and build a shade structure to make an area cooler?

Grade 2 Chapter 2 - Liquids have Properties. Students do simple tests to observe the properties of water, mineral oil, and corn syrup on the surface of a zip-closing plastic bag to investigate the question: Can liquids that look similar have different properties?

Grade 5 Chapter 2 - Substances have Characteristic Properties. Students compare the dissolving of salt and sugar and then conduct a dissolving test on unknown substances marked A, B, and C to investigate the question: Can substances be identified by how well they dissolve in water?

Grade 5 Chapter 2 - Substances have Characteristic Properties. Students test four known liquids and an unknown liquid on two different paper surfaces to investigate the question: Can you identify liquids based on how they interact with different surfaces?

Grade 5 Chapter 2 - Substances have Characteristic Properties. Students test four known and one unknown liquid with water to investigate the question: Can you identify an unknown liquid based on how different liquids interact with water?

Grade 5 Chapter 2 - Substances have Characteristic Properties. Students repeatedly reduce the size of a clay ball while placing it in water to investigate the question: Does changing the amount of material in an object change the object’s density?
