States+of+Matter

=States of Matter & Phase Changes=

Using Concord Consortium interactive: @http://www.concord.org/activities/phase-change

Using the PhET applets to learn about phase changes and the states of matter.

Click here for applet to heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules and watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases.

Click here for applet to watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas. Add or remove heat and watch the phase change. Change the temperature or volume of a container and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Relate the interaction potential to the forces between molecules.
 * 1) Middle School lesson plan & pre-lab
 * 2) High School lesson plan & worksheet

Click here for applet of gas molecules in a box. 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.
