Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Sweatin' to the Coldies
Students participate in a demonstration to show the change of water vapor to a liquid. They discuss the three states of matter. They examine flash flood safety to end the lesson plan.
Curated OER
Hunting for Hidden Fat
Learners investigate the importance of fat in the diet. They determine the difference between solid and liquid fat. They examine food labels to identify the ones that contain fat.
Curated OER
Melting and Freezing
Fifth graders observe experiments with ice and water. They complete a Venn diagram listing the properties of each. They experiment with ice and water, comparing their weights. They note the weights are equal.
Curated OER
Water Magicians
First graders observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas. They predict what they think happen to ice cubes as they sit out. They paint water with paintbrushes outside the classroom in the sun and watch the water...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students investigate what happens to solids and liquids when they change from one form to another. The amount od space taken by frozen water begins the discussion and students are led to formulate their own hypothesis to research.
Curated OER
Journey Through the Water Cycle
Students canvass the water cycle in the seven lessons of this unit. The processes of the water cycle and the cyclical nature of water is emphasized inthis unit.
Curated OER
Science: Water States
First graders investigate the various forms of water. They discuss the properties of water. They discover examples of water's various states and locate other solids, liquids, and gases in their homes.
Curated OER
Diffusion Of Molecules
Students investigate molecular movement while studying how to perform a chemistry investigation.
Curated OER
Facts of Matter
Students make group decisions about matter as they explore and interpret many types.
Curated OER
Matter Matters
Second graders listen to a teacher read aloud introducing a unit about how water changes state. They investigate the state of water as it changes from a solid, to a liquid to a gas.
Curated OER
Gases Around Us
Students participate in an online lesson showing that gases are formed when liquids evaporate and that when a gas is cooled, it condenses to form a liquid, and gases move and flow more easily than liquids, and how gases differ from solids.
Curated OER
Water 3: Melting and Freezing
Students explore what happens to the amount of different substances as they change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to solid.
Curated OER
Robots
Learners explore the two kinds of fluids: liquids and gases. They explain that liquids (water), unlike gases (air), cannot be compressed. This property makes them ideal for hydraulic work applications.
Curated OER
Frozen Solids
Middle schoolers investigate various properties of ice including melting points and the effect of pressure on ice. They demonstrate how increased pressure lowers the melting point of ice and perform a simple experiment proving that water...
Curated OER
Condensation
Students explain how water changes from vapor to liquid with a change in temperature by engaging in this experiment. They use a worksheet imbedded in this lesson to guide their inquiry.

American Chemical Society
Inquiry in Action: Condensation
In this activity, students explore the process of condensation. After seeing water vapor condense, students will help design a test to see if cooling water vapor has an effect on the rate of condensation.
American Chemical Society
Inquiry in Action: Exploring Moisture on the Outside of Cold Cup
In this activity, students investigate how condensation causes moisture to form on the outside of a cold cup. To see if the condensed water vapor comes from the air, students use 2 cold cups, but limit the air around one of them by...
American Chemical Society
Inquiry in Action: Explore Moisture on Outside of a Cold Cup (Dry Environment)
Regardless of the time of year or region of the country students live in, they have likely experienced moisture on the outside of a cold drink or another cold surface. In this activity, students will prepare a sample of humid air since...

Serc: Oil and Water Art Project
Students will create art by mixing watercolors with vegetable oil. By mixing the liquids, students can experiment the different properties of liquids. Lesson is developed to be a culminating project for a unit on liquids.
The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry
Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry: Solids, Liquids, and Gasses
A collection of cartoon animations that teach students what they need to understand about solids, liquids, and gases.
Vision Learning
Visionlearning: Physical States and Properties: Properties of Liquids
Read about the many properties of liquids. Take an assessment when finished.
