University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: States of Matter: Basics
After watching this simulation, students will be able to describe characteristics of the three states of matter. They will watch as atoms and molecules change between solid, liquid and gas phases.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: States of Matter
Using simulations observe what solids, liquids, and gases look like at the atomic scale. After observing the different states of matter at their atomic level, students will be able to conclude about the forces and attractions that exist...
