Students examine and discuss how water changes from a liquid to a solid to a gas. They explore this concept by having an ice cube race, competing to see which group can change the solid water back into liquid water first.

In this matter activity, students review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.

Students explore permafrost.  In this 3 states of matter lesson, students identify characteristics of solids and liquids.  Students observe water and soil melting and freezing at various temperatures.  Students make...

Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...

Students make ice cream as a result of viewing changes of states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students learn how heating and cooling can effect a state of matter to change.

Students identify special properties of matter (absorbency, hardness, brittleness, malleability, and elasticity). They define the term matter. Pupils investigate some of the special properties of matter to aid in classifying matter.

Young scholars identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers,...

Pupils explore the concept of titration. In this titration lesson, students observe acid and alkaline reacting. Pupils discuss pH factor, measuring acidity, neutrality, and alkalinity of liquids. Students put the pH of liquids on a...

Middle schoolers investigate various properties of ice including melting points and the effect of pressure on ice. They demonstrate how increased pressure lowers the melting point of ice and perform a simple experiment proving that water...

Students explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.

Students identify he phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and why they take place. They comprehend what a physical change is and what a chemical change is. Students know the difference between a Mixture and a Solution.

Students comprehend that a chemcial change produce substances with a different composition and physical and chemcial properties. They state the differences between physical and chemical changes. Pupils observe changes that occur during...

Students examine molecules and the changes in energy of a system.  In this energy systems lesson students complete a lab activity and describe changes of state.

In this matter instructional activity, learners review the states of matter, including plasma. Students read about where plasma is found and then complete 3 short answer questions.

Students investigate the states of matter. In this physics instructional activity, students use water and ice to demonstrate the characteristics of a solid and liquid. Students record their observations as the state of the water changes.

Students examine the rule of "like dissolves like." They define and describe solutions and solubility models on molecular liquids, ionic solids, and molecular solids.

Students explore water as it changes states of matter. In this physical property lesson, students use observation, measurement, and communication skills to describe changes in water as it goes from a solid to a liquid and back again.

Students explore water and ice. In this 3 states of matter lesson, students work with a partner to observe, illustrate, and describe the characteristics of an ice cube in a cup. The ice cube is observed again in 15 minutes and changes...

In this chemistry worksheet, students investigate through experimentation the solidifying behavior of some edible fat mixtures by determining their cooling curves. Then they data-log equipment to obtain a large number of temperature...

Students observe the state changes in water. In this matter instructional activity, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. Students explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid then back again. They...

This activity explores the sense of sight, nutritional needs, and the importance of milk and dairy in our diet. Students discuss color mixing, surface tension and rainbow milk. Students actively mix three colors of food coloring with...

Students create a definition of matter. In this physical science activity, students work in pairs to sort items printed on cards into several categories (matter, non-matter, and unsure) and agree on a definition of matter.

Students analyze and evaluate evidence that matter is made of tiny particles. They observe a series of phenomena involving solids, liquids, and gases to make inferences about the spacing, interactions and relative kinetic energies of the...
