Matter Matters, Suggested Grades: 4-7
Students study solids, liquids, and gases in this inquiry-based e-Lab that lays the groundwork for more in-depth learning experiences on these topics. Students review chemical and physical changes, see phase changes, make predictions, and interpret results. We use liquid nitrogen and dry ice to discuss in-depth what is happening at the various phase changes and why teams interact with us you share what they know about matter all the way to the molecular level.
