RESOURCES
This website has an enlarged microscopic view of solid, liquid, and gas. A table includes summarizations of the properties of the states of matter.
This FreeSchool video goes through three states of matter. It talks about the properties of the states of matter and how they are measured.
The Hyperphysics website has definitions for the heat of vaporization and the heat of fusion. There are many links on this website that will take the user further into the subject. There are math practice and math explanations for the concepts.
This video has a graph that clearly shows where heat of fusion and heat of vaporization are. The video explains each part of the graph. It explains what heat of fusion and heat of vaporization individually are.
This comprehensive National Snow & Ice Data Center website is all about snow ice. The website explains where the information comes from and how it is measured. It covers characteristics of ice, processes, environment, exploration, data, and how ice is studied.
This National Geographic video shows scientists that studied artic ice on a five-month expedition. The ship was tethered to an ice floe. There is not a lot of talking, just snippets of what the scientists have to say about the artic ice and studying it, however, it shows how thick the ice is and what people do to study the ice when they are on it.
The NOAA website defines what an iceberg is. It also states what floating ice that is smaller than an iceberg is called. The website discusses how icebergs are classified.
This short video describes what an iceberg is. It also talks about the smaller pieces that are not considered icebergs and the damages those smaller pieces cause. The video shows some of the life that is dependent upon icebergs.
The comprehensive National Snow & Ice Data Center website is all about glaciers. It covers facts about glaciers, a photo gallery, and science and data resources.
This MonkeySee video tells what size layers of snow and ice must be to be considered a glacier. It talks about how a glacier moves and the landforms that are left behind when a glacier retreats.
