• 

  Solubility, Solute & Solvent, Physical Change, Molecular Motion, Phase Changes, Reaction Rate | Elementary School

  Lesson Plan: Particles in Motion Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students learn that particles that make up matter are in constant motion.

• 

  Physical Change, Chemical Change, Solute & Solvent, Observations, Inferences, Physical Change, Identifying an Unknown | Elementary School

  Lesson Plan: Alien Invasion? Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lesson, students will explore both physical and chemical changes as they try to help the Department of Homeland Security analyze and identify materials found in a mysterious capsule. Students will examine and observe an unknown object (a frozen water balloon) as it changes (melts). They then mix combinations of everyday substances to observe chemical changes.

• 

  Mixtures, Physical Change, Physical Change, Solute & Solvent, Phase Changes, Distillation, Introduction, Mixture, Separating Mixtures, Interdisciplinary, Mixture | Elementary School

  Lesson Plan: Now I Can Drink the Water! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students review important concepts of the water cycle and then design, test, and evaluate a working model of a desalination plant (a distiller).

• 

  Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Motion, Physical Change, Physical Change

  Simulation: Comparing Attractive Forces Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In the November 2014 issue, students explore the different attractive foreces between pairs of molecules by dragging the "star" image. In the accompanying activity, students investigate different types of intermolecular forces (London dispersion and dipole-dipole). In the analysis that follows the investigation, they relate IMFs (including hydrogen bonding) to physical properties (boiling point and solubility).
