Learn more about platonic sold geometry, understand the platonic solid names, view some solved examples, and try your hand at some interactive problems.

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

Background information: This activity is an extension of the children's exposure to states of matter in the Scott Foresman science series for Grade 2. This instructional activity has a Literacy component. Using the book by Dr. Seuss,...

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.

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

Get answers to common questions about solids. Understand types of solids and crystal structure with the aid of this FAQ.

A good place to learn about current issues in the solid wastes world. Two of the most useful sections are "hot topics" and "contact us", both of which can be used to find out more about municipal solid waste management.

This site gives a description of platonic solids along with a visual representation of each of the five platonic solids. At the bottom of the page are links to cut-out-templates for each of the platonic solids. Be sure to follow the...

The 'Platonic solids' are three-dimensional shapes formed by putting together identical regular faces. Every corner and every edge is identical to every other corner and edge. There are five such 'solids': the tetrahedron, cube,...

A short interactive activity to visualize the different platonic solids. You can also change the axis of rotation.

A complete reference guide to solid geometry. The mathematics resource provides definitions and interactive activities that enhance further explanation.

Students discover intermolecular attractions between neighboring molecules. These intermolecular attractions, or IMA, affect the behavior of liquids, solids, and solutions.

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

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