Classroom Resources: States of Matter

1 – 5 of 5 Classroom Resources

• 

  Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Molecular Geometry, Melting Point, Boiling Point | High School

  Activity: Examining the Strength of Intermolecular Forces of Attraction

  In this activity, students will be able to understand the strength of the attractions of the three intermolecular forces (IMFs) and use this information to help identify physical properties of molecules (such as melting point, boiling point or states of matter).

• 

  Heat, Law of Conservation of Energy, Specific Heat, Temperature, Calorimetry, Phase Changes, Boiling Point, Melting Point, Heating Curve, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Motion, Phase Diagram | High School

  Lesson Plan: Phase Changes and Heat Transfer

  The AACT high school classroom resource library and multimedia collection has everything you need to put together a unit plan for your classroom: lessons, activities, labs, projects, videos, simulations, and animations. We constructed a unit plan using AACT resources that is designed to teach the Phase Changes and Heat Transfer to your students.

• 

  Freezing Point Depression, Mixtures, Phase Changes, Freezing Point, Melting Point | High School, Middle School

  Lab: How does Salt "Melt" Ice?

  In this lab, students will consider why salt is used to aide in snow clearing and to help keep icy roads safe. They will investigate how salt ‘melts’ ice and determine the best type of salt to do so. Additionally, students will explore the advantages and disadvantages of the various different types of salt.

• 

  Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding, Melting Point, Molecular Structure | High School

  Lab: Ionic vs. Covalent Compounds

  In this lab, students will compare two seemingly similar substances, salt and sugar. Through melting a sample of each substance and analyze of their chemical composition, students will draw conclusions regarding ionic and covalent compounds.

• 

  Physical Change, Intermolecular Forces, Heating Curve, Phase Changes, Graphing, Heat, Exothermic & Endothermic, Temperature, Freezing Point, Melting Point | High School

  Lab: Heating & Cooling Curve

  In this lab, students will create a phase change graph by adding and removing heat to observe and record data during actual phase changes.
