States of Matter Lesson Plans
- Air and Air Pressure-
To observe that air takes up space. To observe that air has weight. To
observe that air exerts pressure.
- Air Exerting Pressure-
To understand that we live on the bottom of an ocean of air.
- As a "Matter" of Fact-
Describe how matter changes from one state to another.
- Change Of State-
List the characteristics of BS in solid and in liquid forms.
- Changing
Matter - Students will be able to distinguish between the physical
and chemical properties of matter.
- Characteristics of
Matter- The objectives of this lesson are for primary and intermediate
graders to examine the relationships among gravity, weight, and mass,
the metric measurement of distance and volume, and density and its application
to physical properties.
- Chemistry Is A Gas-
The student will be able to apply the conventional gas laws in the determination
of volume changes resulting from changes in temperature, pressures, or
number of moles of the gas.
- Crystal Painting-
Students observe a variety of crystalline solids available in the supermarket,
drug store, or hardware store.
- Crystals- A great
crystal lab!
- Density In A Wave
Machine- To demonstrate that different types of liquids have different
densities.
- Gas Laws- To see
effects of temperature and pressure on volume of gases.
- Frozen Solids-
To demonstrate how ice can be melted without heating it.
- Introduction to Gases-
To demonstrate that gases are a state of matter.
- It's a Gas!-
To demonstrate that gases are a state of matter.
- It's the States of
Matter- Students will understand that solids and liquids occupy much
less space than gases.
- Learning About Matter
And Energy- Students will learn and understand physical properties
of matter and energy. Students will discover that some things float, some
things dissolve in water. They will be able to discuss that energy can
be changed from one form to another.
- Let's Get Fizzica-
To demonstrate that water molecules are strongly attracted to one another.
- Life Means Water Environment-
To understand pH levels in bodies of a water environment. This demonstration
involves the reaction of oxide when mixed with water creates an acidic
solution.
- Molecular Forces At
Work: Creating Soap Bubbles- To make chemistry interesting to students
by showing them it is part of the real world, rather than being confined
to reagent bottles and test tubes in the classroom laboratory.
- Matter and Molecular
Motion- Demonstrate that air is matter and even though gases cannot
always be seen, they take up space.
- Osmosis- To learn
how different kinds of solutions move through selectively permeable membranes.
- Pressure and Volume
of Gases- To understand the relationship between pressure and volume
in gases (Boyle's Law).
- Popcorn Is A Gas-
Students will be exposed to questioning how Chemistry/science is integrated
into everyday affairs.
- Phases
of Matter - To understand the three states of matter and the properties
associated with each state.
- Physical Changes of
Water- To acquaint children with the various changes that materials
undergo.
- Recycling- Students
will discuss ways in which recycling is helpful in the environment.
- Relationships: Pressure,
Volume, and Temperature- Students will be able to state the relationships
of pressure to volume and pressure to temperature, and volume to temperature
for a gas.
- Selling The Molecular
Kinetic Theory- To model aspects of the molecular kinetic theory.
- Soap Bubble Chemistry-
Students will investigate with prepared geometric wire models to see the
maximum number of planes, the maximum number of lines and the sizes of
the angles that are produced when the planes and lines intersect.
- Solid, Liquid or Gas?-
Students will be able to distinguish similarities and differences of matter.
- Solubility of Gases
In Liquids- Through this demonstration lesson, students are expected
to construct the relationships of temperature and pressure to the solubility
of gases in liquids. Using their discovery, the students are then presented
with the "ammonia fountain" as a phenomenon to interpret.
- Sound
and Matter - Sound travels through different states of matter (solid,
liquid, gas).
- States of Matter-
Demonstrate an understanding of the difference between a physical and
a chemical change.
- States of Matter-
Demonstrate an understanding of the difference between a physical and
a chemical change.
- States of Matter-
Demonstrate the various uses of the states of matter.
- States of Matter:
Solids, Liquids and Gases- Students will be able to recognize the
properties of each state of matter.
- States of Matter For
Grades Kg-8- The students will be able to observe the properties of
matter and classify different substances as solids, liquids, and gases.
- Sublimation- The
student will be able to describe the process of sublimation.
- Surface Tension Of
Water- To encourage imagination and invention in developing independent
science investigations.
- The Chemistry of Bigger
Bubbles- Learn that all liquids form bubbles but their life span is
short.
- The Three States of
Matter- Compare the properties of different states of matter.
- The Vibrational Nature
of Sound- Students will understand sound frequency, pitch, and conduction
using the string telephone, tuning fork and musical glasses experiments.
This lesson could be focused on any grade level.
- The Water Cycle-
To show how substances dissolved in water can be separated and/or recovered
through the process of evaporation.
- Using A Spreadsheet
To Solve Gas Law Problems- To teach students in the Chemistry classes
to use a computer spreadsheet; to teach the students how to utilize a
spreadsheet to solve problems using the gas laws and the formulas corresponding.
- We All Scream For
Ice Cream- Demonstrate freezing point depression, one of the colligative
properties.
- What A Gas!- Students
will be able to understand and explain that air occupies space, the visual
effects of air, and how air exerts force.
- What Is a Gas?-
Develop a mental and physical model of gas behavior at the molecular level.
