The Three Basic States (Phases) of Matter
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the three states of matter by examining tactile models that illustrate the characteristics of particles in each sta

Scaling an Atom
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

Cooling Off
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

What's the Matter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.

Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.
