Solids

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

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...

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...

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

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...

Do me a solid and explain how solids are made of chemicals. Go in depth with solids, including amorphous, crystalline, and crystalline atomic solids, with a video that breaks them down into bond types, and discusses many misconceptions...

Sal continues his explanation of the states of matter by focusing on hydrogen bonds. This time, he uses plasma as the substance being studied, and explains how the hydrogen bonds change as the substance goes from solid, to liquid, to gas.

Allotropes of carbon are a girl's best friend. Here's a video that covers the various networks of solids and carbon, including the process for changing graphite network structures to diamond and then back to graphite. The video concludes...

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...
