Explore the interactions between various combinations of two atoms. Turn on the force arrows to see either the total force acting on the atoms or the individual attractive and repulsive forces. Try the "Adjustable Attraction" atom to see how changing the parameters affects the interaction.

Experiment with a helium balloon, a hot air balloon, or a rigid sphere filled with different gases. Discover what makes some balloons float and others sink.

The project is called "Chemistry and Cooking" and it will last about 6 weeks. Students will learn about what matter is, the phases of matter, the difference between physical and chemical properties, as well as physical and chemical changes. The project’s Driving Question, which focuses our work, is “How does an understanding of chemistry impact your cooking?” Students will be involved in hands-on activities and labs that will help them learn the concepts that they will then apply to their final project. The child will work independently on a recipe of their choice to show their understanding of how chemistry impacts cooking.

This is a comprehensive science textbook for Grade 10. You can download or read it on-line on your mobile phone, computer or iPad. Every chapter comes with video lessons and explanations which help bring the ideas and concepts to life. Summary presentations at the end of every chapter offer an overview of the content covered, with key points highlighted for easy revision. Topics covered are: skills for science, classification of matter, states of matter, kinetic molecular theory, the atom, the periodic table, chemical bonding, transverse pulses, transverse waves, longitudinal waves, sound, electromagnetic radiation, particles, compounds, physical and chemical change, representing chemical change, magnetism, electrostatics, electric circuits, reactions in aqueous solution, quantitive aspects of chemical change, vectors and scalars, motion in one direction, mechanical energy, the hydrosphere. This book is based upon the original Free High School Science Text series.

Students develop an understanding of the maple syrup process from tapping trees to evaporating sap through hands-on experiences.

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other.

In this lesson from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, students observe what happens to a closed container containing heated water is cooled.  Students use their observations to construct an explanation of what happened.  The lesson includes suggested questions for a teacher to use to probe student understanding as they make their observations.  The lesson would be a valuable activity to include in a unit on states of matter to help students build understanding of the particle-level nature of matter.  Connections to common misconceptions are included in the resource that can be used to guide teacher questioning durign the lesson.

 
Great way to incorperate Science and literature n honor of Dr. Seuss Day. Messy and fun science! Your students will love exploring states of matter with OOBLECK! A fun and powerful way to teach matter! Teacher tested-students' approved! My students had a blast with this.  Every year when I use this, and my class loves it. This activity is great to use with the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck, a story by Dr. Seuss Once you mix it, it has a very strange consistency - like a solid in the bowl until you pick it up, then it is very liquid.

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 temperature. Students measure the temperature of water in its solid state (ice) as it is melted and then evaporated.
