This resource explains the five states of matter and methods of changing from one state to another.

Find out about the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.

Learn about the changing states of matter.

Learners will be expanding a study of phase changes after experiences with exploration of the three phases of matter. They apply what they have learned through freezing water and create a tasty ice cream treat.

From a chapter on Fluid Statics in a Physics textbook. This introductory section of the chapter covers the three common phases of matter, their physical properties, and how atoms are arranged in solids, liquids, and gases. Includes a...

This activity reviews of states of matter, then relates them to atomic movement as it is affected by attractions between atoms and the addition of energy. Latent heat and evaporative cooling are also topics covered. Multiple-choice and...

Learn how states of matter can change as heat is added to a system.

In this series of chemistry labs, students learn about the three states of matter by observing how molecules contract or expand as they change state.

Learn about the phases of matter in this section of a college textbook. Section defines the phases of matter and discusses how to interpret a phase diagram. Also explored is partial pressures and Dalton's Law. Section also includes...

A very descriptive site that allows students to understand the different states of matter at the atomic level. Also discusses the process of phase changes and displays phase change graphs. Thermochemistry is also touched upon for high...

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...

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?

Four activities for reviewing vocabulary and definitions related to changes in states of matter.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 with one-half to David J. Thouless of University of Washington and the other half to both F. Duncan M. Haldane of Princeton University and J....

By the end of this section, you will be able to state the common phases of matter; explain the physical characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases; and describe the arrangement of atoms in solids, liquids, and gases.

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...

The heat of vaporization along with several other thermal properties are explained. Sample problems are given. Illustrations.

A brief exploration of the states or phases of nuclear matter.

Using their knowledge of the phases of matter, the scientific method, and polymers, student teams work as if they are chemical engineers to optimize the formula for slime. Hired by the fictional company, Slime Productions, students are...

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...

Find out how matter can change from one state to another.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Explore this interactive by dragging the red dots to match each physical state of water with the correct picture of its molecules.

Carl Edwin Wieman is one of three physicists credited with the discovery of a fifth phase of matter, for which he was awarded a share of the prestigious Nobel Prize in 2001. The recognition capped a distinguished career that began deep...

Often we find that different phases of pure substances can exist in equilibrium with one another. Let us consider an important gedankenexperiment (Latin-German for "thought experiment") in which we boil water. Ordinary water boiling is...
