First grade scientists learn about changes in the state of matter, but here is a presentation that explains it at a high school level. Illuminating graphics and photos enhance understanding, and the information is disclosed in an order...

A micro-unit on the phase changes of water includes three laboratory activities. Junior scientists compare the densities of ice and water, and then they do the same for cold and warm water. They examine freezing and boiling temperatures....

Characteristics of each state of matter are listed, the formulas for heating water are detailed, and values for boiling and heat of vaporization are presented. This simple slide show provides direct instruction as well as practice...

Earth science explorers design an experiment to demonstrate that the albedo of a surface affects its temperature. They test to find out if moisture on the surface affects temperature. They discover whether or not concrete or asphalt heat...

A teacher with talent has created a fun set of review questions on the changing states of matter. Cycle through 15 questions, multiple choice answers, and a monetary reward for guessing correctly. Use this game show PowerPoint to help...

Topping this worksheet is a comprehensive collection of notes about phase changes. The phase change graph is displayed, along with formulas for the gas laws, and information relating energy to change of phase. After reviewing these...

Though it states that it is a learning exercise, this technically is a set of directions for a series of six activities exploring physical and chemical changes. Chemistry or introductory physical science aces examine carbon dioxide...

Young scholars explore the physical and chemical properties of matter including phase changes and physical and chemical transitions. Information gathered is imported into video and edited to produce a movie.

By viewing this PowerPoint your students' understanding of molecular energy should increase. The properties and inter-particular forces are summarized. The logical progression of information is useful, but more data to demonstrate...

For this thermochemistry worksheet, students indicate whether the given processes are endothermic or exothermic reactions. Students complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Students calculate...

Science learners simulate what happens when ice breaks up and floats on water and how increased pressure on ice causes it to melt faster. They view a clip from the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, and relate their lab activities to what...

Students read books, learn about the letter s, and eat snow all to learn about snowmen. In this snowman lesson plan, students also view ice melting and sing songs.

Fifth graders examine both physical and chemical changes, and how to identify the difference between the two. They observe the changes that occur in butter when it is exposed to heat and cold, heat energy. In their notebooks, they write...

When an object is heated or cooled, a change occurs. Learners will work through this presentation and decide whether or not the changes are reversible. They learn about heating and cooling, then assess changes that have taken place. This...

Third and fourth graders engage with a worksheet designed to help them differentiate between melting and dissolving. After reading an informative paragraph about the two actions, they consider four scenarios, and choose whether they...

This lab worksheet gives some summary information and then a complete procedure to investigate changes in states of matter.  Advice is given for instructions on plotting temperature change over time. The guide for writing a conclusion...

Students explore the physical process of melting. They observe melting ice and answer questions related to energy transfer during phase changes.

Students observe physical change of melting by observing substance in original state, melting substance, allowing substance to return to original temperature, determining if substance retained its original properties, and recording results.

In this states of matter worksheet, students are given a summary of the particle arrangement, the motion of particles, the properties of particles and models of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. Melting, evaporating and boiling,...

Students identify masked concepts based upon their relations to other concepts, knows how to evaluate and polish a semantic network, identifies the features of a well-developed concept, and constructs some well-developed concepts.

Third graders listen to a talk on phase transitions and view three demonstrations. In this phases of matter lesson, 3rd graders complete a worksheet as they listen about phase transitions. They move through three demonstrations of phase...

Students investigate the energy needed to melt the ice. In this chemistry lesson plan, students analyze the data collected from the experiment. They calculate percent error and compare it with other groups.

Students explain the phase changes of water. In this chemistry instructional activity, students perform a virtual experiment to determine the boiling and melting points of different substances. They analyze the slope of heating and...

Students examine the processes of melting and freezing.  For this matter lesson students complete a lab in groups, discuss what they learned and view a teacher demonstration.
