Never trust an atom; they make up everything! Young chemists make modeling dough and add another ingredient to change the properties. Scholars then compare the properties of emulsion to composite materials. A reading passage and analysis...

Explore the properties of gases through one activity and two investigations in which super scientists observe the changes gas makes when encountering different conditions.

Why do you weigh more in space? Each individual in your class explores this question and others as they determine the mass and weight of different objects using two types of scales. They perform conversions and discuss their...

Adjust the melting time of ice without varying the temperature! Learners experiment with different materials to decide how the materials affect the rate an ice cube melts. They then connect their findings to the conductivity of each...

Students investigate bio-fuel. In this investigative lesson, students create bio-fuel from vegetable oil waste. Students will analyze, predict, collect and synthesize data from their experiments with bio-fuel.

An online flashcard deck that reviews properties of matter. Test your knowledge of matter, chemical changes, and physical changes. Site allows you to put flashcards into two sections, those you know and those you don't. After separating...

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text about how cooking causes changes in matter. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

In this lesson, students learn how properties of matter for common materials may change when examined at the nanoscale level. Includes student handouts, video resources, and a glossary.

The chemical change of matter is illustrated in this lab experiment when spaghetti is placed in a solution of baking soda and vinegar. Watch the spaghetti rise to the surface and sink again once the gas is released.

Help the Phantom choose a material and observe the changes at different temperatures in the molecule chamber. What happens to the elements or molecules as the temperature changes?

In this site you can learn and experiment with matter properties and change in behavior. Every theoretical explanation is accompanied by an animation. You will be able to aply the theory to real experiments.
