Students act as chemical engineers and use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics to record temperatures and learn about the three states of matter. Properties of matter can be measured in various ways, including volume, mass, density and...

Teachers can find an interactive lesson plan for introducing the three states of matter to the early elementary student using items that they are familiar with. This also includes gathering data and filling in a table, an important part...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will sort objects according to their observable properties, such as size, shape, color, temperature (hot or cold), weight (heavy or light) and texture. Included are printable resources, a...

This interactive tutorial begins with an understanding of the structure of matter. Understanding charge as a fundamental quantity demands that we have an understanding of the structure of an atom. Learn the atomic structure of an atom an...

Matter changes both physically and chemically on a fairly regular basis. Through these activities students will challenge their understanding of the changes that may take place with different types of matter.

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...

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...

Students carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom, then extend their experience to properties of dust in space.
