Phase Changes and Heat
For this phase changes learning exercise, students use the specific heats for different substances to determine how much heat is needed for those substance to change phases. This learning exercise has 9 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Cloud In a Bottle
In this cloud worksheet, students use a clear plastic bottle to simulate the process of cloud formation. They drop a lit match into the bottle that contains water and shake it to form condensed water or clouds. They answer questions...
