Reviewer Comments:
This collection contains a number of simple animations demonstrating various ideas of physical science: gases, states of matter, the structure of an atom, conductivity, electricity, and light. Some are slightly interactive. Alone, each animation has little content, however they could be a nice supplement to an existing curriculum. These animations could be appropriate for a variety of students, though its content is probably best targeted for late elementary through middle school level.

This animation illustrates the processes by which substances change states. For example, from a solid to a gas via the process of sublimation. The role of temperature changes in these processes is also demonstrated.

This resource shows an incomplete electric circuit. Students can try inserting soap, a steel nail, and a twig into the circuit to see what effect this has. When a conductive material is inserted into the circuit a light is illuminated.

This resource shows how electricity flows through a conductive material, such as a piece of wire. Students can see atoms of a conductive material and electrons moving through them.

This animation illustrates the movement of water molecules in ice, liquid and gas states. This movement is shown via analogy with the way that people move in a crowd at a sporting event.
