Middle School Science Resources
Education.com’s middle school science resources support sixth, seventh, and eighth grade learners with over 390 printable worksheets, lesson plans, and hands-on activities. Designed to build knowledge across physical, life, and earth and space science, these materials align with many state standards and are ideal for classroom instruction, homeschooling, or at-home enrichment.
In physical science, sixth grade students explore matter by learning key terms like atom, molecule, element, and compound, then classify substances and observe chemical and physical changes. Seventh graders build on this with lessons on chemical equations and methods of charge transfer such as friction, conduction, and induction. Eighth grade students explore wave behavior, energy transfer, and how energy moves through different systems.
Our middle school life science resources include diagram-based activities to label plant and animal cells, study the functions of cell structures, and build vocabulary with terms like carbohydrates, cytolysis, and lipids. Students investigate human body systems, ecosystems, and genetics, learning about DNA, chromosomes, and how mutations affect organisms. These topics help prepare students for high school biology.
In earth and space science, learners explore the rock and water cycles, Earth’s natural systems, and environmental impacts like pollution and fossil fuel use. Other activities guide students through astronomical concepts including the Earth’s rotation, phases of the moon, and solar eclipses.
Middle school students also deepen their scientific understanding and problem-solving skills through resources that introduce the engineering design process. These activities challenge students to identify problems, design creative solutions, and test their ideas using real-world scenarios—building critical thinking skills that are essential in STEM learning.
All middle school science worksheets and activities are available in both digital and print-friendly formats to support different learning styles. Use filters to quickly find grade-specific resources for introducing new topics, reinforcing classroom instruction, reviewing for assessments, or preventing learning loss during school breaks.
