These three short online lessons discuss asteroids, comets and meteors.

Other objects in the solar system are discussed in this online textbook viz. asteroids, meteorites, comets and dwarf planets.

Outcomes:

• Determine if a liquid is acidic, basic, or neutral
• Place acids or bases in relative order
• Describe on a molecular scale, with illustrations, how the water equilibrium varies with pH
• Determine concentration of hydroxide, hydronium and water at a given pH
• Relate liquid color to pH
• Predict (qualitatively and quantitatively) how dilution and volume will affect the pH and concentration of hydroxide, hydronium and water

In this unit you will: 

• Understand that temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy.
• Learn about the various temperature scales that are commonly used in science.
• Learn to read temperature scales.
• Differentiate between various thermometers (alcohol or mercury-based).
• Understand that physical properties change when there is a change of temperature.
