Users can read and view pictures that explain the three phases (solid, liquid, and gas) in which water exists. An activity that illustrates water vapor in one's breath and a brief explanation of what phase changes are and what triggers them is also included.

This
teacher-directed
demonstration
provides
a
conceptual
understanding
of
latent
heat.
Using
the
example
of
a
chemical
hand
warmer,
students
learn
about
phase
changes
from
liquid
to
solid
and
from
solid
to
liquid
and
observe
that
one
of
these
phase
changes
releases
heat
while
the
other
requires
heat
to
be
added.
These
concepts
are
then
reinforced
in
a
demonstration
which
involves
heating
water
and

Water
quality
is
more
than
meets
the
eye.
Some
of
its
properties
are
invisible.
Teachers
using
this
module
will
focus
on
measurable
properties
of
water:
mass,
volume,
and
concentration;
temperature;
dissolved
oxygen;
pH;
and
nitrates;
and
their
effects
on
water
quality.
Each
of
these
properties
is
the
subject
of
a
lesson
plan.
The
lesson
plans
include
an
introduction,
lesson
objectives,
a
pre-test,

In
this
lesson,
students
download
cloud
and
surface
data
from
the
NASA
CERES
S-COOL
website
student
observation
database,
then
develop
and
compare
graphs
to
explore
the
relationships
between
surface
temperature,
pressure,
and
humidity.
Students
then
investigate
possible
patterns
in
cloud-types
and
the
surface
conditions
for
several
locations
on
a
particular
date
of
their
choice
from
the
