Students identify the various states of water and its natural flow downward. As a class, students take digital pictures of different forms of water and create a multimedia presentation describing their photographs. Groups of students...

Students review that air is a form of matter. They investigate how air takes up space. Pupils comprehend that they cannot see air, it takes up space and has mass, therefore it is a form of matter. Students investigate how to show that...

Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.

Students identify special properties of matter (absorbency, hardness, brittleness, malleability, and elasticity). They define the term matter. Pupils investigate some of the special properties of matter to aid in classifying matter.

Students list individual properties of solids, liquids, and gases. They examine that some properties have more than one state of matter. Pupils consider whether shaving cream, is a solid, a liquid, or a gas, or some combination.

Learners investigate the process that occurs when liquids evaporaate. They test water and alcohol to determine which substance evaporates more quickly and relate the rate to energy changes.

Seventh graders explore the the constituents and properties of matter. They use the scientific process while exploring solids, liquids, gases, the mass, volume and density of matter. Students plan and conduct an investigation to measure...

students investigate, develop inferences, and identify general descriptions for each of the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. students investigate water, by observing and stating inferences about, the properties of each...

Students categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Students explore properties of cans (including aluminum and steel) as they rotate through stations. They experiment with magnets, weight differences, resistance to corrosion and temperature conductivity.

Students investigate various properties of ice including melting points and the effect of pressure on ice. They demonstrate how increased pressure lowers the melting point of ice and perform a simple experiment proving that water is more...

First graders discover the properties of matter through hands-on experiences, 1st graders discover how to protect their Freeze Pop from melting.

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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Create a science test that checks for student understanding in science, for common misconceptions, as well as for correct ideas. This is a list of key ideas related to Substances, Chemical Reactions,...

This expansive unit created by McCracken County Schools focuses on the properties of matter. Multiple lessons focus on the concept of scientific modeling of matter particles. Included in this unit are various activities to reach all...

This unit covers introductory concepts of mixtures and solutions. Students think about how mixtures and solutions, and atoms and molecules can influence new technologies developed by engineers. The first lesson explores the fundamentals...

Students can make ooze and learn about different qualifications of matter. An easy procedure is provided to make gooey ooze that you can play with when you are done.

Matter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. Students will participate in hands-on activities to prove that matter is made up of...

Identify the basic structure of atoms, the building blocks for all matter.

This interactive tutorial begins with an understanding of the structure of matter. Understanding charge as a fundamental quantity demands that we have an understanding of the structure of an atom. Learn the atomic structure of an atom an...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses elements, atoms, compounds, molecules, and crystals. Looks at mixture and different types of them.

This learning module discusses the definition of matter and what mass and volume measure. Module includes pictures, videos, and review questions.

View these slides to better understand that matter is made of smaller parts that are too small to be seen. These slides can be used to meet math, science, and literacy standards.
