Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

The three states of matter can be represented by the particle model. This model explains the properties of substances in their different states, as well as changes of state. Interactive activity ...

When an object is heated, the change in temperature is related to energy, mass and the specific heat capacity of the material it is made of. Specific latent heat Different materials have different ...

The field of condensed matter physics explores the macroscopic and microscopic properties of matter. Condensed Matter physicists study how matter arises from a large number of interacting atoms and ...

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 stuff that have certain observable properties.
