This site helps students construct a model of the arrangement of water molecules when present as solid, liquid or gas. Includes background information, lesson plans, links to standards and assessment ideas.

Join a group of middle-school students on a visit to a laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they experiment with "mystery mud" and learn about the relationships between magnetism, particle motion, and changes in...

Did you know the ancient Greeks first identified the three states of matter? Read about how the molecules differ in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. View photographs and watch how the molecules move in each state. If you're really...

This lesson focuses on the states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. It also discusses the Kinetic Theory of Matter, Thermodynamics, Triple point, Phase Change Graphs and the Heating Curve of Water. It provideds adrawing of a heating...

A very descriptive site that allows students to understand the different states of matter at the atomic level. Also discusses the process of phase changes and displays phase change graphs. Thermochemistry is also touched upon for high...

An eBook containing information regarding states of matter as it applies to celestial bodies and a universe.

As part of a larger site called "Getting started in Chemistry," this site examines various topics related to the densities of substances and materials. Included in the study are properties of solids, liquids and gases, and how density is...

In this activity, students construct models of molecules using marshmallows and gum drops.
