This module aims to explain to kindergarten through second grade students the difference between phases of matter while touching upon chemical reactions. This interactive example uses gas formed from a dilute vinegar and baking soda reaction to float popcorn in a cup. Supplemented with a storyline about a fish in the ocean, students will practice identifying different phases of matter while learning about keeping our ocean ecosystems clean and healthy.
