Water, one of the basic needs of humans, is found in all three states of matter on Earth; no other planet—that we know of—possesses this quality. Here is a unit that allows learners to explore through experimentation what it...

Take a "conservative" approach to planning your next unit on mass and matter! What better way to answer "But where did the gas go?" than with a lab designed to promote good report writing, research skills, and detailed observation....

Building off young chemists' knowledge of the states of matter, kinetic molecular theory is the focus of the unit. Eight days of lessons including multiple demonstrations, one lab experiment, directed instruction, and worksheets,...

This video explores how scientists use principles such as gravity to describe and study the properties of gases. [3:27] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students examine differences in physical and chemical properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial, students will begin to understand a substance according to its physical properties. Learn to distinguish between extensive and intensive...

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains how to describe matter in the solid state, about the properties of liquid matter and gases, and what the relationship between energy and states of matter is.

In this module, you will learn why gases are not affected by intermolecular attractions! You will also learn about the properties of gases and the math associated with this special group of matter.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The following online tutorial describes how a gas can be compressed and identifies three factors that affect gas pressure. Students will describe the effects...

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will begin to explain the use of chemical and physical properties in the historical development of the Periodic Table. They will be...

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses properties of gases, why they exert pressure, and atmospheric pressure.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Properties of gases, why they exert pressure and atmospheric pressure.

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Group 18 elements and their properties.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of state of matter and the three common states of matter and their differences.

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...

This site from the Chemistry Department at the Washington University provides informaiton on airbags. A lot of gas properties find their way into airbags, and this site goes into a great deal of it. Worth a look for the real world...

From a chapter on Fluid Statics in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter defines pressure and how it relates to force, as well as how to find the amount of force given area and pressure. Includes questions, problems and...

The behavior of gases near room temperature and 1 atm pressure can be described using four main properties: amount, pressure, volume, and temperature. In this simulation the mass, pressure and temperature can be varied.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will sse the Periodic Table to identify and explain the properties of chemical families, including alkali metals, alkaline...

This video segment adapted from NOVA/FRONTLINE demonstrates the physical property of carbon dioxide that causes the greenhouse effect. Includes background reading and discussion questions. [2:26]
