Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

In this dramatic activity/demonstration about phase change and condensation, learners place an aluminum can filled with about two tablespoons of water on a stove burner.

In this demonstration, learners observe how liquid nitrogen both boils and freezes ingredients to make ice cream in two minutes.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this activity about phase change and condensation, learners boil water in an empty pop bottle in the microwave.

In this activity, learners use heat to separate zinc and copper in a penny. This experiment demonstrates physical properties and how physical change (phase change) can be used to separate matter.

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
