Most of these principles are addressed in detail in physics text books.  Perhaps you might try at a local college or high school  library.

Did you put your entire homework assignment on here? I noticed you posted a bunch of science questions just now.\nIf you don't have your textbook handy [you really should be looking up these answers so that you can remember and understand them when you have your test/exam], go to the links below and look them up. The 1st is a down loadable physics textbook. The 2nd has animations of physics.

Matter is anything that has Mass and takes up space.  The general properties of matter are mass, weight, volume and density.   They are considered physical properties.\n\nLook around you and you will see matter.  Air is matter because it takes up space.  Heat and light does not have mass or takes up space, so it is not matter.  \n\nScientists have separated matter into states or phases.  Prior to 1985 there were 4 states or phases, today we have 5 states or phases.  Each of these phases certain properties associated with each phases.  Matter can be changed from one state or phase to another phase by energy.  There are five types of phase changes.

The density, the atomic structure, and the state of matter it is in.

i'M IN SIXTH GRADE, AND A GOOD SCIENCE FAIR TOPIC WOULD BE "WHICH SUBSTANCE CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY BEST". iT IS REALLY EASY TO DO AND YOU CAN HAVE LOTS OF GRAPHS. FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE 21 GRAPHS. AND MY WHOLE ENTIRE BOOK IS 93 PAGES LONG. \n\nHOPE i HELP YA!!

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask.  It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.  \nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice.  Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions.  Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

This site is terrific for kids - Einstein section:\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/\nThis is a bit long-winded, but a little more than halfway down are some good, basic explanations/examples of the T.O.R suitable for kids:\nhttp://www.wesleyan.edu/synthesis/culture-cubed/haas/maintemp.htm

My kids use this website to get their science fair ideas http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/ It has project ideas, tip sheets, step-by-step instructions on basic science fair setup, etc.\n\nGood luck!

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/\n\nThey have open material from courses taught at MIT. I have been able to glean a lot from them.

I was recently looking at one that contains many applets that help to visualize the structure of many compounds and atomic latices. (See 1st link, below)\n\nBut that may not be what you're looking for. If you could narrow your question down to a certain part of chemistry or a certain reaction, etc... that would help.\n\nIf not, then the second link is a cool site that has many interesting easy-to-understand concepts accompanied by some fun applets. (See 2nd link, below)
