Activity
Use video to show the difference in
motion of solids, liquids, and gases.
Go to this link and then click on the
right arrow to scroll over until you
reach the comparing solids, liquids,
and gases video. While showing
this video I could explain how solids
are tightly packed and vibrating
while liquids are close together and
slip-sliding past each other and
gases are far apart and bouncing
off each other.

chemical changes.
Activity
Have the students use marbles to
show what a liquid, solid, and gas
state looks like. The solid molecules
would be tightly packed and
vibrating, the liquid molecules
would be close together and slipsliding, then the gas molecules
would be far apart and bouncing off
of each other. The students could
model their understanding between
the three different states of a
physical change. Each marble
represents one molecule.
