Fourth graders, in groups, examine how particles in warm water move faster than particles in cold water.

Students discuss skyscrapers and listen as the teacher introduces the project. They use the Internet to perform research on one skyscraper. Students use information they gather to create a brochure of their building . They create an...

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Twelfth graders cite real life applications of Kirchhoff's rules. For this physics lesson, 12th graders calculate current, power and voltage using Kirchhoff and Ohm's laws. They explain the different components and uses of...

Students explore the concept of sea ice. In this sea ice lesson plan, students interview arctic hunters to regarding the sea ice safety and attributes.

Students explore human growth and development as they participate in class activities, reading and discussion. Worksheet and handouts are included in the lesson.

Students describe the properties of solids and liquids, and explain how a semiconductor works.  In this atom lesson students demonstrate the bonding properties of carbon and silicon.

Fourth graders observe Moon and its features, and record results both in written form and in a drawing on the given template.

Learn about the phases of matter in this section of a college textbook. Section defines the phases of matter and discusses how to interpret a phase diagram. Also explored is partial pressures and Dalton's Law. Section also includes...

This activity reviews of states of matter, then relates them to atomic movement as it is affected by attractions between atoms and the addition of energy. Latent heat and evaporative cooling are also topics covered. Multiple-choice and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Explore how heat and temperature relate to phase changes.

Investigate the concept of water changing states.

Students will be expanding a study of phase changes after experiences with exploration of the three phases of matter. They apply what they have learned through freezing water and create a tasty ice cream treat.

This tutorial helps students understand the Kinetic Theory, which explains the effects of temperature and pressure on matter as it goes through phase changes.

Five chemistry lessons about phase changes between the states of mattter complete with handouts and animations.

Through an instructional video, games, and activities, students explore three types of change matter makes: physical change, in which only the shape of the matter changes; physical phase change in which matter changes to a different form...

Watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas. Add or remove heat and watch the phase change. Change the temperature or volume of a container and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Relate the...

Using simulations observe what solids, liquids, and gases look like at the atomic scale. After observing the different states of matter at their atomic level, students will be able to conclude about the forces and attractions that exist...

Explore the phase change that occurs when ice is melting.

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?

An interactive simulation will heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules. Watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Recognize that different substances have different properties which will affect the temperatures for...

After watching this simulation, students will be able to describe characteristics of the three states of matter. They will watch as atoms and molecules change between solid, liquid and gas phases.

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...

Learn about the changing states of matter.
