  Molecular Motion, Phase Changes | Middle School

  Activity: Atoms in Motion Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will explore how particles that make up matter are in constant motion. The students will use an online PhET simulation to compare the ways that atoms and molecules move in samples of solids, liquids, and gases. This activity will help students improve their understanding of the particle level.

  Phase Changes, Molecular Motion | Middle School, High School

  Simulation: States of Matter and Phase Changes Mark as Favorite (26 Favorites)

  In this simulation, students will participate in a 10 question quiz. Some questions will challenge students to analyze data to identify the correct state of matter for a specific sample, and then connect the chosen state with an animated particle diagram. In addition, students will examine the behavior of particles in an animated sample as they undergo a phase change, and must correctly identify the change that occurs.

• 

  Molecular Motion, Physical Properties | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Categorizing States of Matter Mark as Favorite (28 Favorites)

  In this activity students will analyze both written statements and images that describe the properties of a solid, liquid or gas. Students will determine which state of matter the description best describes and categorize it accordingly.

  Lab: Observing Density of Gases and Liquids Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  Students will learn about and discuss the behavior of a gas using examples of convection and an optional teacher-led demonstration. Students will then participation in a lab where they will investigate water currents by observing the results of mixing colored warm water with room temperature water.
