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...

This interactive allows you to explore the effect that temperature and pressure have on the changes in the states of matter. You can test these variables on carbon dioxide, hydrogen and water.

Discover the concept that energy transfer and molecular motion cause the change in state from a solid to a liquid. Also compare state changes of water to the state changes of other substances.

The class will go back over the Power Point presentation on chemical and physical properties. The teacher will then conduct numerous liquid nitrogen demos. This instructional activity is used early in the Chemistry course. The students...

Second graders explore the concept of law of conservation of mass.

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...

Resource provides the ten signs that tell when a chemical change has occured. Each sign has a detailed explanation.

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...

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.

Students are given a scenario for this lesson where they must use investigative skills like a detective would to decide whether changes that happen to objects in the story are physical or chemical. They then conduct an experiment with...

After observing a demonstration of a chemical reaction between a burning candle and the oxygen in the air, students use atom model cut-outs to model the reaction and see that all the atoms in the reactants show up in the products.
