The Phantom's Portrait Parlor Phases of Matter

This page provides links to activities related to the principles of atoms and matter

In the following activity students choose an element and then click on different parts of a thermometer. They observe how the element changes phases at different temperatures in the element chamber.

Chemistry for Kids

This site offers excellent explanations and links for chemistry that are geared to middle and upper elementary. The following links are all from this site

Phases/States of Matter

http://www.chem4kids.com/matter/index.html

This link describes the basic properties of matter.

There are four STATES of matter. SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, GASES, and PLASMAS. Each of these states is also known as a PHASE.

The following links describe the properties of each state/phase of matter.
