What’s the matter? Everything! Students learn that everything around them is made of atoms and that atoms combine to create molecules. Molecules are continually expanding and contracting, changing states of matter and reacting with other molecules to form new substances. The properties of solids, liquids, gases and plasma are compared and contrasted as students participate in experiments in which solids become liquids, liquids become gases, gases become solids and solids become gases. In addition, they learn to identify physical changes in the states of matter and chemical reactions between different substances. During the presentation, students will:
1) identify parts of an atom
2) compare the properties of different states of matter
3) identify the changes in states of matter
4) understand the effect of temperature change on states of matter
5) explore the difference between physical and chemical changes
6) hypothesize the outcome of experiments.
