[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will use the physical and chemical properties of matter to categorize the various forms of matter.

Students act as chemical engineers and use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics to record temperatures and learn about the three states of matter. Properties of matter can be measured in various ways, including volume, mass, density and...

For this activity about matter, learners investigate the three states of matter by participating in a small group lab. Students will observe, question, and investigate the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

A resource provided to Grade 8 teachers to address the School District of Philadelphia's Core Curriculum on the topic of Matter. It covers properties and states of matter, elements, compounds, mixtures, atoms, and the periodic table....

In this lesson, 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 results. Students...

Matter changes both physically and chemically on a fairly regular basis. Through these activities students will challenge their understanding of the changes that may take place with different types of matter.

An interactive simulation will heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules. Watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Recognize that different substances have different properties which will affect the temperatures for...

States of Matter is an educational activity for kids to learn about the different properties of matter. The lesson will introduce solids, liquids, and gases. Students will then be assessed through a sorting activity where they will...

Take an interactive quiz over the properties of matter. After completing the quiz, check your score, and then revisit any incorrect question for further review

[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 site provides an illustrated and animated story that seeks to answer several questions. What are atoms made of? What is keeping a nucleus intact? What happens if you try to separate two quarks? Are quarks fundamental?

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...

Explore the concept of matter in this Spanish-language encyclopedia entry. This site features the properties of matter, the Law of Conservation of Matter, and other important features of matter.

Find out all about units, measurements, and error when it comes to measuring matter.

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

Find out the basic characteristics and main properties of all matter.

Student groups explore propulsion technology necessary for the Dawn project to complete its mission. Learning module components include story mapping, online interactive activity, RAFT writing exercise, and other standards-aligned...
