A slideshow illustrating the science of matter from its properties, states, and classification to mixtures and the Periodic Table of Elements.

Students will use water and cornstarch to make a mystery matter, and then discuss what happens when different energy is applied.

In this instructional activity, students will investigate why the Cartesian diver dives and rises in a 2 liter bottle. They will also, through their own discovery, come up with a question and then change one variable and record their...

A series of interactive applets use scientific models to teach some basic concepts of matter, including states of matter and physical and chemical changes.

In this Physical Science exploration activity, students explore the meaning of the words solid, liquid, and gas. Student groups complete a chart with examples of each type of matter and its properties and then record their observations...

Chemistry is the study of the composition, behavior and properties of matter, and of the elements of the Earth and its atmosphere. This site provides links to chemistry exams over courses in BBC: AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, OCR 21st Century,...

Percy Julian and Josef Pikl used the fact that melting point-the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid-is a characteristic property of a substance to prove that the British chemist Robert Robinson could not...

A video and a short quiz on the periodic table of elements and how it is organized.

Antimatter, the charge reversed equivalent of matter, has captured the imaginations of science fiction fans for years as a perfectly efficient form of energy. While normal matter consists of atoms with negatively charged electrons...
