There is one core practical activity in the 'States of matter and mixtures' section: Investigate the composition of inks using simple distillation and paper chromatography. A student investigates ...

In this lab, you will fill out a foldable on the three primary states of matter. Then you will watch a video showing ice melting from a solid to a liquid and boiling from a liquid to a gas. After ...

The state of matter is a deceptively simple concept. It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of ...

Laboratory experiments have coaxed simple molecules into states that naturally become more complex, hinting at the origins of ...

How do scientists use the states of matter to create new inventions? Scientists care about the state of matter so they can explain why things happen or how to develop new uses. Meet a material ...

Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of ...

It will also provide insights into identifying new states of matter with appealing properties. "Solving those problems could lead to great advances in technologies like quantum computing and ...
