Students investigate the properties of water. In this states of water activity, students explore how water goes from liquid to solid and back to liquid again. Students use measurement, observation, and communication to describe the change.

Fifth graders discover the process of boiling water and how it is part of the changing of states of matter. They observe a kernel of popcorn pop in a test tube with water and take notes of how the water changes to the form of a gas....

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 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.

Background information: This activity is an extension of the children's exposure to states of matter in the Scott Foresman science series for Grade 2. This activity has a Literacy component. Using the book by Dr. Seuss, "Bartholomew and...

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...

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...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of deposition and examples of deposition in nature.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition and an example of sublimation, and conditions under which sublimation of snow and ice occur.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains how to describe matter in the solid state, about the properties of liquid matter and gases, and what the relationship between energy and states of matter is.

Learn about kitchen chemistry alongside Ruff Ruffman. Students can use the videos, games, and activities from The Ruff Ruffman Show to discover how by investigating solids and liquids and exploring heating and cooling, science can help...

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.

What is heat? Illustrated discussion of how heat is transferred and its effect on the states of matter.
