[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Freshly baked bread and cherry pie are two delicious parts of any meal. What happens to the ingredients that go into the bread and the pie as they are heated in the...

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...

In this series of chemistry labs, students learn about the three states of matter by observing how molecules contract or expand as they change state.

States of Matter is an educational activity for kids to learn about the different properties of matter. The lesson will introduce solids, liquids, and gases. Students will then be assessed through a sorting activity where they will...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial, students will begin to understand a substance according to its physical properties. Learn to distinguish between extensive and intensive...

In this activity about matter, students investigate the three states of matter by participating in a small group lab. Students will observe, question, and investigate the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

Learners characterize materials by their state of matter and then combined materials to create a piece of colorful, tie dye-esque paper.

Find out about the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains how to describe matter in the solid state, about the properties of liquid matter and gases, and what the relationship between energy and states of matter is.

Concept animation compares molecular movement of solids, liquids, and gases.

Discusses gas as a state of matter, the history and use of the terms vapor and gas, and types of elemental gases.

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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart goes through the basics of identifying the different states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. It also has an exciting (and easy) experiment for students to combine substances, get a...

In the States of Matter module, students further explore the concept that anything on earth that has mass and takes up space is matter. This exercise introduces students to solids, liquids and gases, the three most common states of...

Learn about the three phases of matter, and how the addition and removal of thermal energy (also known as heat) affects them.

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...

Engaging hands on science lessons for grades 2-6 on the three states of matter.

Five exemplary chemistry lessons about the three states of matter complete with handouts and animations.

A collection of grid puzzles that cover topics in basic chemistry, including acids, salts, alkalis, chemistry lab equipment, the periodic table, states of matter, and more. These are excellent for topic review and reinforcement. The...

Students observe a molecular dance of bursting colors through exploring states of matter and learning that materials can be characterize by how they respond to water.

From a chapter on Fluid Statics in a Physics textbook. This introductory section of the chapter covers the three common phases of matter, their physical properties, and how atoms are arranged in solids, liquids, and gases. Includes a...
