How to Teach Changes!

As any curious person of this day and age will do, I Googled resources for Phase Changes units for kids. The first link is super cool and gives great definitions and ideas for teaching. Chem4Kids is a great way to get working and simple definitions for all the phase changes that can be used for the entire class as well as diverse learners.

I also have loved working with BrainPop in class and would definitely use a video or two to explain phase changes to the class! Matter Changing States is a great video explaining solids, liquids and water vapor using real life scenarios of melting ice and then boiling water and what temperatures each change takes place at. Brainpop also provides a great activity sheet to help the kids remember the lesson! Changes Activity Page!
