Join a group of middle-school students on a visit to a laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they experiment with "mystery mud" and learn about the relationships between magnetism, particle motion, and changes in...

This lesson plan focuses on the difference between physical and chemical changes of matter.

In this interactive module you will be introduced to a unit on fluid dynamics. Learn how an object's density relates to its mass and volume by completing various activities and interactives.

At this resource discover the difference between solids, liquids, and gases. Practice what you just learned with included review questions.

Provides interesting information about the three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

Students will examine a solid, a liquid, and a gas to gather information and draw conclusions about the three states of matter.

In this Physical Science exploration activity, students explore the meaning of the words solid, liquid, and gas. Student groups complete a chart with examples of each type of matter and its properties and then record their observations...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart is an introduction to investigating matter: solids, liquids, and gases.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Interactive flipchart teaching the states of matter for a 2nd grade classroom containing four topics with several lessons in each one. The topics covered are: matter, solids, liquids, and gases....

[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...

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...

In this lesson plan site, pupils will define matter and compare properties of solids, liquids and gases.

Have you ever seen static electricity cause a spark of light? What is that spark? What about lightning, the Northern Lights, or the tail of a comet? All of those things and many others in fact, 99.9% of the universe -- are made of...

A released question from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) assessment about change of states of matter. Also included is a scoring guide for the released question.

Set sail with Oleif, the Viking. Make his boat move by learning all about matter and particles.

In this activity, students will learn about supersaturated solutions. They will observe the beginning formation of crystals as the solution cools and by the next day, the students will see the formation of a snowflake made by the crystals.

This lesson will introduce a phase change diagram, and show how a substance changes from one phase to another. It is 1 of 3 in the series titled "Phase Changes."

In this site you can learn and experiment with matter properties and change in behavior. Every theoretical explanation is accompanied by an animation. You will be able to aply the theory to real experiments.

A collection of lesson plans for helping students understand atomic composition. Site uses work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos to plan lessons to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules.

This activity will teach students about the three states of water found on our planet: solid, liquid gas. They will learn to distinguish the differences between these states and will be able to give examples of each.

Learn how to interpret a phase diagram, explain Dalton's Law, and describe the state of equilibrium between a liquid and a gas, a liquid and a solid, and a gas and a solid. This resource contains in-depth explanations and multiple...

The following tutorial provides an explanation of classification of matter by composition.

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.

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...
