This simple but effective lab allows students to observer and draw inferences about diffusion. Students will need three cups set up that are each of the following temperatures (warm, cold, and room temperature). They will need to put one drop of food coloring in each at the same time as well as start a timer once they do so. In one minute increments, the students will record what they see for three minutes total. Students will then reflect on the diffusion of the food coloring being compared in each of the three temperatures. The temperature component can be connect to dissolving easily and the recording change over time is also important. Materials needed: clear cups (3 per group), some way to both lower and raise temperature of the water prior to experimentation, food coloring, and a timer.

Check out this awesome 4th Grade Science Assessment which contains 40 multiple choice questions. Infused in the questions are topics that cover environmental science, physical science, nature of science, earth science, and natural science. The questions are infused with graphs, pictures, as well as scenarios. This can be a powerful tool in assessing student needs at the beginning of the year, and then progress monitoring them with consistent benchmarks. Additionally, this would be a great assessment to use that mimics what state testing looks like as a spiral review or a formative assessment. It can also be used as a study guide or review before any other assessments you may prepare for! Included in this package is the assessment with a bubble in sheet, as well as an answer key with an answer key bubble in sheet too! Hashtag Teached Resources by is licensed under a .

Facilitate your science labs and expand your students' understanding of the scientific process and method by using this simple and student-friendly template. The template includes Purpose, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observation, Analysis, and Conclusion. It is presented in three different formats for differentiation - one has lines, one has bullet points, and the last has open spaces. Check out my two other versions of the Scientific Method by CLICKING HERE for Version 1 or by CLICKING HERE for Version 3. Each version simply presents the content in a different format to meet the needs of your specific students.
