Alkanes: Physical Properties
For this alkanes worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the number of carbon atoms for the given alkanes. Students plot a graph showing how physical properties change with the number of carbon atoms. Then,...
Curated OER
Creative Expressions: Phase Changes
Learners place themselves in the position of a water molecule, ice molecule, or steam molecule and then describe the process of changing phase.
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students explore water as it changes states of matter. In this physical property activity, students use observation, measurement, and communication skills to describe changes in water as it goes from a solid to a liquid and back again.
