Given descriptions, scenarios, or illustrations, students will distinguish between the compressibility, structure, shape, and volume of solids, liquids, and gases.

Students learn about solids, liquids, and gases in this interactive slide show. Animated cartoon characters explain concepts having to do with properties of matter. A self-checking quiz follows the lesson.

A collection of cartoon animations that teach students what they need to understand about solids, liquids, and gases.

Engaging hands on science lessons for grades 2-6 on the three states of matter.

An interactive guide to the basics of solids, liquids, and gases. Wonderful pictures show the makeup of each and how the particles move in these states of matter.

The differences between solids, liquids, and gases and the properties of each are presented in this lesson.

Five exemplary chemistry lessons about the three states of matter complete with handouts and animations.

During this lesson, students will practice observing, question writing, and answer generating based on taking part in experiments. Students will work with different substances to observe changes in liquids, solids, and gases.

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...

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...

In this activity about matter, students investigate the three states of matter by participating in a small group lab. Students will observe, question, and investigate the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

Printable classroom-ready worksheets for a series of simple-to-implement experiments about the states of matter.

Concept animation compares molecular movement of solids, liquids, and gases.

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

In the States of Matter module, students further explore the concept that anything on earth that has mass and takes up space is matter. This exercise introduces students to solids, liquids and gases, the three most common states of...

This site has a brief description of the differences in particles in a gas, liquid, and solid. Animated microscopic pictures demonstrate the molecular movement in each state. Information is then summarized in an easy-to-read chart.

This site contains an interactive activity in which students can learn about the three states of matter. There is also a factsheet that lists numerous properties of liquids, solids, and gases. The factsheet also uses water as an example...

[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...

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

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

Discusses the changes of state that can occur for the three different types of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) and different types of heat energy that have been defined by scientists.

Students investigate the structure and parts of the atom, and learn about atomic mass and atomic number. They also explore the differences among solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.
