Solids

Not many lessons on states of matter can hold a candle to this one! Junior chemists gauge the density of paraffin in both liquid and solid phases. They fill 60 mL syringes with different materials to experiment with compressibility and...

Students investigate community issues with solid waste. In this mock trial instructional activity, students examine the issues of solid waste from an ecological and economical perspective. They will develop a mock trial which encourages...

For this dissolving solids and gases worksheet, students learn that the process of dissolving gas is opposite of the process of dissolving solids. Students answer 3 critical thinking questions about dissolving gases and solids in solutions.

Crystal comes from a Greek word meaning ice. Activity eight in a series of 36 has class members analyzing amorphous and crystalline solids and further classifying them based on their forces. They then explore solids, learning about unit...

Pupils use a eureka can or measuring cylinder to determine the density of an irregular solid in the eighth instructional activity in a series of 11. They measure the mass and volume in order to properly calculate the density through...

Solid, liquid, and gas: they all matter. Scholars create an animation of the various states of matter, experiment with the temperature of water as it changes states, and observe carbon dioxide as it changes states. The lesson also...

Give your physics class a solid understanding of solids with this splendid set of slides! They will learn the difference between crystalline and amorphous structure, understand the properties of density and elasticity, and be able to...

Delve into the differences among solids, liquids, and gases with this PowerPoint. It is both applicable and attractive. Large, colorful diagrams display the molecular arrangement of each state of matter and their properties are arranged...

Why is it so difficult to make two solid compounds react? Investigate the concepts of particle collisions and rate of reaction using a quick demonstration. The colorful experiment features two plain, white solids combining to form a...

Young chemists discover that all solids are not created equal with the help of this short instructional video. Taking a microscopic look at matter, students learn how to classify solids based on the type of bonds that are responsible for...
