School is starting up once again, and as a parent, you might be wondering how to get your kids back into a more structured learning routine. While kids are learning new routines at school, take this opportunity to explore exciting science projects at home to set the right tone for the academic year. With children always on the search for something fun to do after school, jumping into some science fun is the perfect way activate growing minds. One endlessly fascinating topic to explore is the three states of matter.

Younger kids should learn about the basic three types of matter, while older students should study how matter can change, and the conditions under which those changes occur. Using common household supplies and materials, experiments can be set up in no time, with cleanup oftentimes meaning eating or drinking the end result!

Below, we'll discuss what children need to learn about this intriguing topic before getting started; keep reading to find four fantastic ideas for at-home experiments that can easily be adapted for the classroom!

Examples of States of Matter for Kids

How can one even describe the term matter? Simply put, matter is any substance that takes up space and has mass. Look around you and think about how everything you see (and even things you can't- like air) is made up of some form of matter! Not everything is made up of matter, like types of energy. This includes sound and light. But it can be used to generate energy, which is important for fueling our modern world.

Kids learn a variety of early physical science facts starting from preschool, but most kids start studying the states of matter by kindergarten or 1st grade. Chances are, if you have a child around ages 6-7, he or she has already learned about it, but might not have done much experimenting in school. The first thing little learners should master is the three basic types: solids, liquids, and gasses.

It's easy to review the three types of matter with young kids because there are so many examples that are easily accessible in your very own home! The following are household examples of matter to point out to your early learners:

Help your child notice that some of substances on the list could change from one type of matter to another. For example, when ice cubes are frozen, they are solids, but can easily melt into liquids if left outside of the freezer. Likewise, if that ice cube is in a cup that stands on the counter for a number of days or weeks, your child will notice that the water evaporates because it turned into a gas that entered the air!

Chemistry for Older Elementary Students

Older children are better able to understand more about concepts that involve a change of state of matter. It's easy to see ice cubes melt into water, but it takes much more patience to wait for it to evaporate to observe the change. It's also simple enough to heat a pan of boiling water to see the steam rise from the pot, but older kids should know that matter can change under a variety of conditions depending on the substance involved.

Some concepts to explore with your older child include the following:

Condensation

Plasma- another type of matter

Sublimation

Vaporization

Boiling Points

Deposition or Desublimation

States of Matter Activities

Regardless if you have a beginner or older child at home, the activities below won't disappoint! Easily adaptable to the classroom, the following experiments are great for exploring the different states of matter and how they change for a summer filled with science fun!

Chocolate Chip Experiment

This simple experiment is great for a hot sunny day and easily demonstrates how a solid can be converted to a liquid, and then back to a solid using a bit of energy.

1 quart-sized Ziploc bag per child or group of kids

½ cup of chocolate chips for each bag

A heat source

Help kids take the chocolate chips and add them to the bag. Be sure to zip the bag securely and ask your child to brainstorm of ways to make the chocolate melt. Explain that heat will make the chips melt into its liquid form, but a source of heat is needed to make this happen.

One popular solution is to pop that bag into the microwave, and while this can be done, it could easily make the chips burn. Using a stovetop would require the child to remove the chips from the bag, and if this is done in a classroom, a kitchen is most likely inaccessible. Instead, guide children to think of natural heat sources and it won't be long before kids realize that the sun generates a lot of warmth!

Head outside on a sunny day and place the bag of chocolate chips in the sun, laying it on pavement for the best exposure to heat. Go back inside and set a time, and check it again in about 5 minutes, noting any observations. Keep checking every 5 minutes until the bag of chips are melted into liquid and record further notes and talk about what happened as the chips melted and why.

Bring the bag of liquid chocolate back inside. Put the bag in the fridge, or in a cool location nearby. What does your child think will happen over time to the chocolate? Write down any predictions and wait for the chocolate to reform into a solid mass! After the experiment is over, record final observations, discuss, and eat!

Make a Self-Inflated Balloon

Blowing up a balloon can be hard work! Let a chemical reaction do it for you using this cool project that produces a gas to blow up your balloon!

Supplies Needed:

To start, pour 2 tablespoons of baking soda into the balloon carefully using the funnel. Next, pour 1 cup of vinegar into the empty plastic bottle. Attach the lip of the balloon to the top of the bottle, leaving the bulk of the balloon along with the baking soda hanging down.

When ready, pick up the balloon so that the baking soda falls into the bottle of vinegar and watch as the balloon fills up with the gas created from the reaction! Talk to your children about what caused the balloon to fill, and feel free to do it again! In short, when the vinegar mixes with baking soda, it creates a carbon dioxide gas, which fills the balloon because it has nowhere else to go. Discuss this reaction before trying it again. When repeating the experiment, be sure to have fresh supplies on hand, as the balloon will need fresh vinegar to produce the same reaction.

Make Art Sculptures or Pictures from Slime

If your kids are like most, they love to make and play with slime! Transform old slime into a work of art with this experiment that changes a liquid to a solid!

Slime- use one or more colors of slime

Non-porous surface space, like a glass table or granite countertop

For this easy experiment, take the slime and spread it onto the surface space in a thin layer. If you use multiple colors, press them together as they will blend later on in the process. Next, be patient! Depending on the humidity level in your home, it might take as long as 2-4 days to dry out. Use a fan to speed up the process and to make slight waves in the artwork. The objective is to dry out the slime so that the water contents evaporate and make the liquid slime into a solid piece.

When slime starts to dry around the edges, carefully pull the sides up to increase airflow to the rest of the slime. When fully dry, the dried-out product can look like plastic or glass structures! Experiment with making pictures using the slime to create unique decorations!

Make a Refreshing Root Beer Float

Experiment with creating a gaseous foam from root beer and ice cream in this simple, yet tasty experiment!

Root beer

Vanilla Ice Cream

Spoon

Clear plastic cup

Observation sheet or log

First, pour about a cup of root beer into the clear plastic cup. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop a dollop of vanilla ice cream into the soda. Next, watch the reaction! Help your little learner write down any observations onto a printable observation worksheet or a log that you are using as notes. What are the bubbles that form near the top of the cup? Your child will notice that the bubbles are filled with gas.

Explain to kids that the root beer is a liquid, while the ice cream is a solid. When adding the ice cream to the soda, it makes the carbonation inside the liquid fizz to create a gas. After talking about the science behind the reaction, start eating this refreshing summer treat!

If you're out of ideas for making the last days of summer worthwhile for your children, look no further than the above experiments! Exploring the changing states of matter is not only educational, but it's a fun-filled way to enjoy a tasty treat on before a new school year starts!

These classroom activities are designed to complement the Changing States of Matter topic on BrainPOP Jr.

Particle Dance Party
Have your whole class model the particles that make up solids, liquids, and gases. To model solids, have students make a shape and link arms together. They can dance in place but keep the whole shape. To model liquids, students can place their hands on each other shoulders and walk slowly around the room. They can dance and observe that they have more space to move. To model gases, have students dance about the room without touching each other. They should observe that they have much more room than before and are able to spread out freely.

Ice Cube Meltdown

Bring in a bag of ice for your students. Divide the students into small groups or pairs and have them find the fastest way to melt an ice cube. Remind your students that heat can change matter and adding more heat might make matter change faster. They may want to put the ice cubes in a sunny spot, warm them up in their hands, or just put them in a cup on their desks. Have students time how long each method takes. Which method was best? Have groups discuss and share their observations and findings with the class.

Evaporating into Thin Air

Divide students into small groups and have them pour a cup of water. Make sure they label the cup with their group name. Then have them record the height of the water level with a ruler. Have students place the cups in a sunny spot outside. Throughout the day have students measure the water level. What happened to the water level? This experiment can be done over the course of a week.

Many of us have experienced that existential "wow, science!" moment in adulthood.

It may have occurred while watching an ice cube melt in the sun. Suddenly, it dawns on us that the ice is actually made of crystalline water molecules, that they are absorbing light from a star 93 million miles away, and that it's causing them to wiggle excitedly until they slide off the ice cube. The colossus of scientific knowledge behind even this simple process can be overwhelming, provided it catches us in the right mood.

But here's the tougher question - how do you translate this wonder to children in a way that inspires and engages them?

Science is fascinating, fun and extremely useful in children's futures. Most importantly, understanding its principles allows them to engage with the world around them by thinking critically about everything they see - literally, everything they see. Why are puddles of water frozen in the morning? Why does boiling water create steam? Why is there steam-like mist hovering over riverbeds in the morning?

Let's take a look at the best ways to teach children about states of matter, one of the most applicable and ever-present scientific concepts in their lives.

Start With the Building Blocks of Matter

One of the greatest parts about this subject is that nature has put it on display for us everywhere we look. States of matter start with atoms and molecules.

An atom is the basic building block of nature. This is a particle 1 million times smaller than a speck of dust, meaning it is impossible to see it. You can drive the small size of an atom home by asking children how many atoms they think are in a single grain of salt. The answer is 1,200,000,000,000,000,000 - that's 1.2 quintillion.

A molecule, on the other hand, is what results when two or more atoms bond together. This small cluster of atoms forms a new substance altogether. For instance, while gold is made up of individual atoms packed together, water is made of molecules. Specifically, water is made of two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom.

Atoms and molecules often bond to one another, meaning they have attractive forces between them that cause them to stick together. This is why water forms beads instead of spreading apart.

There are loads of fun facts about atoms. If you're looking for ways to instill a sense of wonder into children about atoms and molecules, sprinkle these facts into your conversations:

Atoms are made up of 2 parts: the nucleus, made of protons and neutrons, and electrons that orbit it. Though it's actually quite a bit more complicated, you can illustrate by comparing it to planets orbiting the sun.

Most of an atom is empty space. If one atom were the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be right in the center of the field and would be the size of a pea. That means the solid thickness of everything around you is an illusion - it's mostly empty space.

If an atom were bigger - say, if it were the size of a period at the end of a sentence - then a human lying on their back would stretch from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, California.

"Atom" is derived from the ancient Greek term for "uncuttable." The Greeks supposed that one could take a piece of matter and keep cutting the pieces in half until it was impossible to make them any smaller. This smallest piece was what they called the "atom."

There are about 7 billion billion billion atoms in your body. Through eating, drinking and breathing, you replace 98% of these atoms every year.

If a child is having trouble understanding what a billion is, show them a visual representation of 7 billion people. This is the approximate population of earth and gives an idea of how large these numbers are.

The States of Matter

Technically there are 5 states of matter, but most people only need to know 3. Here they are:

A material in solid state holds its form and shape. That means it doesn't flow. Solids can be many different colors, can have different hardness and come in a variety of shapes. Just because an object is solid doesn't mean it can't be squished or molded - it means that, if left untouched, the material won't flow.
1. Solids
Examples of solid objects include:

There are many solids that can be compressed and molded, such as clay, Play-Doh, cushions, fabric and clothing. Even though this latter group changes shape when we poke and squeeze it, this doesn't mean it isn't a solid. If you left it sitting on a table in a moderately cool room, it would have the same shape when you came back to it later as when you left it.

Let's think about how this relates to atoms and molecules. In a solid, atoms and molecules huddle closely together, which makes them rigid and stiff. This effectively means they are frozen in place and do not flow around one another. This stiffness occurs because the bonds between the atoms or molecules are strong and hold them together.

A liquid takes the shape of its container. That means if you pour it into a bowl, it will fill the bowl from the lowest points upward and come to rest. Imagine the difference between placing a large chunk of ice into a bowl versus pouring the same amount of water into it. The ice is solid and will keep its shape, while the water will fill the bowl.
2. Liquids
Liquids can have different thicknesses, known as "viscosity." For example, pancake batter is thicker - it is more viscous - than water and flows more slowly. Examples of liquids are:

Mercury is an example of a metal that is also a liquid.

To better understand viscosity, picture yourself waking up on a cold morning. You don't exactly throw the covers off and jump out of bed. Rather, you pull the covers farther up and are slow to get moving. Many liquids react to cold the same way - the colder they are, the slower they move. This is the case for substances like syrup, oil and liquid bath soap. Note that water does not react the same way, but as we shall see, water is one weird substance.

The atoms and molecules in liquids are farther apart than in solids, which gives them the freedom to move around and lessen the bond between the individual atoms. In the liquid state, atoms and molecules are far enough apart to flow around one another but not so far as to be in the final state of matter - a gas.

A gas is a substance that behaves like the air around us. Gases also take the shape of their container, but they are much lighter than liquids. That means they will expand to fill any container they are placed in. If you poured water into a glass fish bowl, the water would fill the container from the bottom up. If you did the same with gas, it would expand to fill every part of the glass fish bowl, not just the bottom.
3. Gases
It is not hard to move through gases, and if they escape their container, they will quickly spread through the surrounding air. You can't measure how much gas there is using a scale or a measuring cup. To figure this out, you have to use math. Examples of gases include:

Air

Steam from boiling water

Smoke from smokestacks

Exhaust from cars

Within a gas, atoms and molecules are far apart from one another and bounce around independently. They do not flow around one another as in a liquid, but rather ping off each other freely in all directions.

Changing States and Temperature

Now that we have covered the 3 states of matter, it's time to discuss a phenomenon that we can see in everyday life. This is the changing of states, or the tendency of matter to shift between solid, liquid and gas.

We see this all the time - butter melting on hot toast, ice melting to form water, water boiling to form steam, beads of water condensing on cold surfaces or sweat evaporating. In our everyday experience, the most common reason formatter to change states is temperature. A material in solid form is colder than the same material in liquid form, which is colder than its gaseous form.

Let's look at some of the changes that occur between the states of matter.

To understand the shift between solid and liquid states, it's helpful to try a very delicious example for yourself: butter melting on a piece of hot toast. Butter is quite hard when it comes out of the refrigerator. When you place a chunk of it on a piece of toast fresh out of the toaster, however, it begins to soften up and turn to liquid, making it easier to spread.
1. Changes Between Solid and Liquid States
Let's zoom in now on the atoms and molecules making up butter. When they come out of the refrigerator, they are huddled close together and are cold and rigid. Then, a giant knife slides in and whisks a whole section of them away, only to plop them onto a hot piece of bread. The heat from this bread spreads into the butter. It disperses among the molecules, warming them up and causing them to move apart from their neighbors.

Eventually, they are far enough away from each other that they can begin to flow around one another. Zooming out, this is the liquid stage of butter. Because the cold butter absorbed more energy in the form of heat, its molecules began wiggling around and were freer to move.

Before we move on, let's look at the reverse process with a liquid-to-solid experiment. Picture a bowl of melted butter placed in the fridge. We know that the butter molecules are freely flowing around one another in liquid form because they have enough heat to do so. But as the butter's heat gets sucked away by the freezer, the molecules within it begin to huddle together and slow down. Eventually, they will congeal and form a solid.

Teaching kids about the state of matter is easier when you have something for them to look at. Try using a liquid-to-gas experiment to illustrate this change.
2. Changes Between Liquid and Gaseous States
Boil a pot of water on the stove. You turn up the dial and begin to heat it up. This heat passes into the water through the bottom of the pot, and, in response, the water molecules start to move around. More and more heat is added. They move around more and more in response. But how long can this go on? Will they just keep moving faster and faster?

At a certain point, the water molecules absorb enough heat energy that they turn into a gas. This means they move so rapidly, they rise to the top of the water and escape into the surrounding air. From our vantage point outside, this is steam rising from the pot of water. This process eventually leads to evaporation.

The reverse of evaporation is condensation. There is water in the air around you at all times. It has evaporated off of rivers, lakes and oceans and out of the soil and is a large part of our atmosphere. These water molecules are in gas form, and even though they are not at boiling temperature, they are light enough and far enough apart that there is no reason for them to turn liquid again.

However, imagine now that you've got a cold glass of iced lemonade. The moist air around the glass, which contains water, comes in contact with the cold glass. The cold causes the gaseous water in the air to "condense" - that is, it collects on the glass because the heat has been sucked out of it, until there is enough of it to form liquid water. This liquid water collects and forms the drips and drops we all recognize as condensation.

Water: One Weird Substance

It is worth noting that water, the most important liquid in our lives, is also probably the strangest substance we know of. Scientists regularly scratch their heads at its bizarre tendency to break all the rules. Here are some of the strange facts about water you may want to mention when explaining states of matter to kids:

It expands when cold. It is a basic universal rule that substances contract, or shrink, as they get colder. That's why we've been doing all this talk of atoms and molecules "huddling" together when they lose their heat. But water expands when it freezes. For example, ice frozen in a glass will produce a seemingly smaller amount of water in the glass when it melts.

It takes a lot of energy to heat it up. Water can absorb a lot of heat before turning to a gas - kind of like a boxer who can take a lot of blows before losing the match.

It can dissolve almost anything. For being such a nourishing part of life, water sure does tend to tear things apart. It can dissolve sugar, salt and many other solids - more than any other liquid known to man.
