Classroom Resources: States of Matter

26 – 29 of 29 Classroom Resources

• 

  Phase Changes, Physical Change, Observations, Temperature | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Condensation

  In this lab, students will explore the process of condensation. Students will investigate how water vapor condenses, and then they will conduct a comparison test to see if cooling water vapor has an effect on the rate of condensation.

• 

  Observations, Combustion, Phase Changes, Experimental Design, Scientific Method | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Observing a Candle

  In this lab, students accumulate observations of a candle including a look at the combustion reaction's reactants and products.

• 

  Molecular Motion, Heat, Phase Changes, Melting Point, Heating Curve, Freezing Point, Temperature, Graphing | High School, Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Modeling the Melting of Ice

  In this lesson, students will create a particulate model of matter that explains energy changes and transfer during a phase change.

• 

  Heating Curve, Phase Changes, Intermolecular Forces, Freezing Point, Melting Point, Boiling Point, Heat of Vaporization , Molecular Motion, Temperature, Specific Heat, Heat, Heat of Fusion | Middle School, High School

  Simulation: Heating Curve of Water

  In the May 2015 issue, students explore the heating curve for water from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Students compare illustrations of each physical state depicted on the curve and calculate the energy required to transition from one state to another.
