Grade 8, Science Std 7.0: Describe states of matter based on kinetic energy of particles in matter. • Relating boiling point, freezing point, and melting point to phase changes.

Lesson Plans: As a "Matter" of Fact Students describe how matter changes from one state to another. How does adding a solute affect the freezing point of a solvent? Students will learn how covalent and ionic substances affect the freezing points of water and why. Change Of State A series of exercises to teach the states of matter. Characteristics of Matter The objectives of this lesson are for primary and intermediate graders to examine the relationships among gravity, weight, and mass, the metric measurement of distance and volume, and density and its application to physical properties.
