Temperature Changes Everything  - The primary purpose of this Science NetLinks lesson is to introduce students to the concept that temperature causes molecules and atoms to move faster and farther apart, which in turn causes the change from solid to liquid, and liquid to gas.

Prerequisiste Knowledge - This reproducible teacher sheet, from a Science NetLinks lesson, contains background information about solids, liquids, and gases.
