Material Magic - Making Diamonds

Enhance your states of matter lessons with a hands-on science investigation that compares six different balls' color, texture, size, weight, ability to bounce, and buoyancy. 

Young scientists get to the heart of the matter as they complete this worksheet on the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

An educational lesson focuses on the idea of conservation of matter through a demonstration of the water cycle, a discussion of digesting food, and the path of carbon and oxygen atoms as they change form. 

Crystallize the answer to the question that has been investigated since the first of four lessons: What is the unknown crystal? Pupils have examined, crushed, and dissolved four samples plus an unknown as an exploration of the properties...

We are living in a material world. But how do we improve materials that have already been invented? Watch material scientists make current materials better and see how cell phone glass evolved from its once...

Gain insight into how scientists group materials based on their properties, such as conductibility and malleability, with this informative and engaging video. First, molecules, atoms, substances, and elements are reviewed, then...

Put those observation skills to the test with a fun physical science video about the properties of matter. Using an example of stackable blocks, the video prompts learners to find the length, width, height, and volume of an object, as...

Why do bricks make terrible windows? Learn about how the different properties of matter, including transparency, reflectivity, and freezing, boiling, and melting points can help you observe what they are, as well as indicate their...

Delv into the states of Matter. Students engage in the scientific inquiry process to uncover the exciting world of Matter. They watch a series of videos, and conduct experiments in order to collect and analyze data on the various state...

How can something we can't see be so powerful? Gas molecules make an impact! This video explains their properties: 1. Gas particles always move in a straight line. 2. They are too small to occupy any volume individually. 3. When gas...
