Mr. E. Science
An Introduction to Matter
What's the matter? Gas, solid, liquid, or plasma. The presentation covers how to describe and identify matter, changes in matter, types of matter, measuring matter, particles of matter, Democritus, and John Dalton's Atomic Theory.
Mr. E. Science
Changes in Matter
Do solids, liquids, and gases even matter? The presentation focuses on changes in matter, including phases, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and physical changes.

Particle Model of Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Display the arrangement of molecules in solids, liquids, and gases. Demonstrate how the addition of heat energy results in greater molecular motion and therefore a change of phase. Give examples of heat conductors and insulators, and...

A Changeable Day
Twenty changes have occurred today, and Dr. Sparks needs help sorting them out! First-time physical science fans simply decide whether each represents a physical or a chemical change. The handout would make a useful quiz or review...

Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter
Students identify the physical and chemical properties of matter. They review the types of matter. Students list the four states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma). They recognize and describe the different types of matter.

Physical Changes and the Water Cycle - Three
Third graders observe and reproduce the water cycle in their very own classroom. A simple, yet very effective, demonstration on how water evaporates is observed by the young scientists. They make observations and sketches in their...

Matter and Change
Bright blue slides with yellow and white font make this presentation easy for learnerrs to read. The content is a brief overview of the commonly observed physical properties of matter, focusing on the differences among solids, liquids,...
Curated OER
Physical Changes and States of Matter
Fourth graders identify a physical change as one that results in a change in size, shape, or state of matter. After an initial teacher-led discussion and demonstration, groups of students get together to perform an experiment which...

Physical And Chemical Changes
In this physical and chemical change worksheet, students solve 13 clues in a crossword puzzle focusing on rates of chemical reactions and changes in the state of matter.

Properties of Matter
A collection of ten slides reveals bright graphics and photos. Though the title is "Properties of Matter," the content is incoherent. You will find a couple of slides on chemical reactions, a few on the example of the S.S. Hindenburg...

Science: The States of Matter
Third graders conduct experiments in matter to create chemical changes resulting in gases. By mixing solids and liquids, they create a chemical reaction and capture the gas in balloons. After observing the balloons fill with carbon...

Energy and Matter
A review of a full unit on energy and matter, this slide show starts with basic definitions of states of matter and their mass. It then develops the ideas of the forces that that matter can exert. Details about bonding within matter and...

Light, Matter and Energy
Let Einstein's work shine the way. Pupils read about Einstein's iconic equation, E=mc^2, using a remote learning resource and see how ideas from other scientists such as Kepner, Curie, Galilei, and Newton led to its discovery. They...

Physics Intro, Kinematics, Graphing
Some consider physics the branch of science concerned with using long and complicated formulas to describe how a ball rolls. This presentation, while long, is not complicated, yet it covers rolling, falling, and more. It compares vectors...

Sweet Twinkies, Density and Sugar Chomping Yeast: A Look at Physical and Chemical Reactions in the Kitchen
Students investigate matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students will learn about matter, physical states, and reactions. There are a series of four lab activities that will be conducted.

Physical Changes to Matter
Pupils explore matter by conducting an in-class experiment. They experiment with water's various forms by melting and freezing water, identifying its new shape. These observations are recorded to supplement later discussion. They also...

Matter, Matter, Everywhere!
Eighth graders make inquiry about the existence of matter. A definition of the word is needed before students can engage in various activities. The application of knowing about matter is done in the working of experiments.
Curated OER
States of Matter
Learners study the states of matter. In this matter lesson, students use dry ice to study the states of matter. Learners observe and answer questions based on the material.

What on Earth is Matter?
A somewhat strangely formatted slide show that contains multiple examples of matter types. The classification and state explanations given would be useful as practice of substance identification and the heating curve may prove to be...

Modern Physics, New Phenomena
In this physics worksheet, students examine some of the historical theories of physics through the completion of 11 questions.

Matter Test
Physical science learners define matter, explain the law of conservation of matter, and identify compounds according to their state on this twenty-question test. Most appropriate for the introductory physical science class, this resource...

Mixtures of Matter
Young scholars experiment with solids and liquids. In this mixtures of matter lesson, students combine matter to form solutions. Young scholars hypothesize, test, and analyze the data to draw conclusions. The lesson can be extended by...

Matter: Solids Liquids and Gases
Students participate in a science experiment to understand that matter takes up space. In this matter lesson, students experiment with solids, liquids and gases to recognize that matter is everywhere. Students make observations and...
