Chemistry Lesson Bundle - 6th grade Science

The Physical and Chemical Changes Stations Lab is a 6th grade Science CLIL lesson plan filling 3 periods with interactive content engagement & intentional language skill building.What will learners do?In this Science CLIL lesson plan learners walk through 5 stations of a physical and chemical changes stations lab and complete little experiments. Learners then fill out the worksheet that accompanies the physical and chemical changes stations lab. As part of the CLIL lesson plan learners use a vocabulary list and sentence builder exercises to describe and explain their observations. What does this material contain? A list of materials for the teacher to set up the physical and chemical changes stations lab A vocabulary list 6 slides listing the materials needed and steps to be completed for each station 1 slide with describing sentences building blocks 1 slide with explaining sentences building blocks What related resources are there?Stationsarbeit mit Arbeitsblatt: Physikalische und Chemische Veränderungen (GER)Formulierungshilfen Naturwissenschaften Poster / sentence starters science posters (GER)What can this material be used for?

This law of conservation of mass lab is your best friend if you are looking for quick and simple 6th grade science project ideas that are easy to prep and safe to execute. Use this law of conservation mass lab in your middle school science classroom once your students already know the composition of molecules and atoms, the states of matter and how temperatures affects molecular movement. I was wondering for a long time how to do law of conservation of mass in my Science classroom, because the concept seemed so abstract. Who would have thought that it was during the 2020 pandemic and distance learning, that I got the idea for this ice cube melting Science experiment. The worksheet with the graphics of the zip loc bag and the molecules as red dots alone helped my 6th grade Science class comprehend the law of conservation of mass, such that my learners were able to explain why the open zip loc bag weighed less without even reading the text or completing the cloze.Talk about the power of visual learning!However, be sure to cover states of matter and the structure of molecules before this ice cube melting experiment, so your class has the knowledge AND THE VOCABULARY to describe and explain what they are observing. Oh, and if you need help with the actual lesson planning for this law of conservation of mass lab, check out your FREE guide:The 4Ds of Lesson Planning ScienceIn which file format will I receive the resource?Not-editable secured PDF fileWhat does this resource include?teacher prep noteslist of materialsstep by step guide for labvocabulary tableworksheet for labWhat can this material be used for?6th grade science projects6th grade science experimentsProperties of matter unitLanguage inclusive classroomCLIL - content and language integrated learningOther ideas that might be helpful for you:Science Vocabulary gamesTeam Roles for Group ProjectsRules for ScienceScience Sentence StartersDid you know that all my resources are also available in German?: Click here to check them out → German ResourcesDo you have questions, ideas or just want to say “Hi!”?→ Reach out :)! Curious what the 4 Ds for lesson planning Science stand for?Click here to find out!

This Science Density STEM activity is a simple and effective observation lab to demonstrate how density is different between various substances and how it is calculated. This Science Density STEM activity has 3 parts:The Science density lab, where you freeze an empty water bottle, observe what happens when you take it out of the freezer and then go over density lab questions with your learners.A density drawing activity using the density drawing worksheets.A density calculating activity using the science density calculations worksheet.Use this Science Density STEM Activity in your middle school Science classroom once your students already know:the composition of molecules and atomsthe states of matterhow temperature affects molecular movementthe law of conservation of massRules for ScienceDensity is one of my favorite topics and there are so many ways to demonstrate and explain the phenomenon. If you also have a Science room with limited lab capabilities, but you do have a freezer this Science Density STEM Activity might be just right for you. My learners were so amazed to see how their water bottles crunched overnight. Living in Minnesota, a lot of learners also had stories to tell about how water bottles left in cars overnight would break, when made out of glass and filled with water. (I definitely have stories like that) Density needs to be explained on a molecular level, which needs lots of models. Using the drawing model is a simple way for learners to “create” their own different density levels by first changing the mass and then changing the volume. Drawing and the resulting visuals is also a great way for language learners to grasp the concept. Also, remember to use the Science Sentence Starters with your class. If you need help with the actual lesson planning for this law of conservation of mass lab, check out your FREE guide:The 4Ds of Lesson Planning ScienceIn which file format will I receive the resource?Not-editable secured PDF fileWhat does this resource include?Observation Density Lab prep notesTeacher Tips2 Density Drawing Worksheets1 Science Density Calculations WorksheetWhat can this material be used for?6th grade science projects6th grade science experimentsProperties of matter unitLanguage inclusive classroomCLIL - content and language integrated learningOther ideas that might be helpful for you:NEW FREE GUIDE: The 4 Ds of lesson planning scienceScience Sentence StartersRules for ScienceTeam Roles for Group ProjectsLaw of Conservation of Mass LabDid you know that all my resources are also available in German?

This Solubility Salt In Water Lab is simply done and has a great learning effect. Your learners explore the solubility salt in water themselves by stirring one gram of salt at a time in 100ml of water until no more salt dissolves. Here is an idea: Use the same instructions for a solubility sugar in water lab, but know that sugar turns into syrup and as you know, can get veeeeeery sticky.After your learners complete the lab, they create a model of solubility of sugar and water by simply drawing the water molecules and salt molecules in a circle. (Watch the video so you know what I mean.)The 3rd way learners explore the solubility salt in water vs. solubility sugar in water is by reading a few paragraphshighlighting the most important information and thenAnswering a couple questions in a full sentence. Use this Solubility Salt in Water Lab in your middle school Science classroom once your students already know:the composition of molecules and atomsthe states of matterhow temperature affects molecular movementRules for ScienceNote how this activity requires limited language skills, at least in the first 2 parts. Your English language learners will already have done the lab and drawn the models, before reading the text.Remember, to use the Science Sentence Starters with your class when discussing the solubility of salt and water verbally. If you need help with the actual lesson planning for this law of conservation of mass lab, check out your FREE guide:FREE resource #1: The 4Ds of Lesson PlanningIn which file format will I receive the resource?Not-editable secured PDF fileWhat does this resource include?teacher prep & lab prep noteslab notes printable2 solubility worksheetsanswer keysWhat can this material be used for?6th grade science projects6th grade science experimentsProperties of matter unitLanguage inclusive classroomCLIL - content and language integrated learningOther ideas that might be helpful for you:Science Sentence StartersRules for ScienceTeam Roles for Group ProjectsLaw of Conservation of Mass LabDensity STEM activity with worksheetDo you have questions, ideas or just want to say “Hi!”?→ Reach out :)! Also, if you want a list of free tips about how to use plain language to make your own classroom materials more English language learner accessible, I have another FREE resource for you!FREE resource #2: 10 tips to get started using plain language
