Let's have a gas. Individuals mix baking soda and vinegar in a bottle. Learners view the interaction between the solid and the liquid and notice that a gas is formed. Scholars notice the gas inflates a balloon stretched across the mouth...

There are three basic states of matter: Solid, liquid, and gas. Help your learners with visual impairments to understand the chemical nature of each state of matter with tactile elements. Marbles are used to model the particles in each...

Create a cushion of carbon dioxide gas to float some soap bubbles on. Many concepts can be demonstrated through this activity: Carbon dioxide gas is more dense than air Bubbles are semipermeable, allowing only carbon dioxide to diffuse...

Explore the properties of gases through one activity and two investigations in which super scientists observe the changes gas makes when encountering different conditions.

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

Seventh grade scientists weigh in on the concept of density. In a nutshell, they participate in the following activities: Measurement of the mass and volume of fruit in order to compare densities Measurement of the mass of oil and water...

Geology rocks — literally! A geology chapter offers eleven activities at four different levels. Scholars enjoy completing hands-on experiments before applying critical thinking skills following a share, process, generalize, apply,...

Students research elements on interactive Internet periodic tables, take notes using Inspiration software, and write descriptive paragraphs with graphics. They create presentations.

What causes frost to form on the outside of a cold container? In this activity, students will see that the liquid water can change state again and freeze to become ice.

See how gas, liquid, and solid molecules react to external pressure in this simulation. Also see a model of intermolecular motion through elliptical particles.

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.

Science experiment that demonstrates the four states or phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of how you change water from a liquid state to a gaseous...

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text about how cooking causes changes in matter. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

Help the Phantom choose a material and observe the changes at different temperatures in the molecule chamber. What happens to the elements or molecules as the temperature changes?

Explore the different states of matter while creating glue.

In this activity, students construct models of molecules using marshmallows and gum drops.
