There's a container for every matter—liquid, solid, and gas. Pupils design three different containers, each with the capability to hold one of the states of matter, and share their design with the class.     

Explore the concept of density within states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—through a group experiment in which young scientists test objects' texture, color, weight, size, and ability to sink or float.    

Young scholars discover states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students define matter, identify states of matter, explain properties of matter, and demonstrate the various uses of the states of matter.

In this states of matter worksheet, students learn about the 3 different states of matter and how matter shifts states. They then answer the 20 questions in the packet. The answers are on the last page.

Student explore states of matter. In this science lesson plan, learners define matter, identify the states of matter, tell about the properties of each state of matter, and demonstrate an understanding of the difference between a...

Learners conduct studies of states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students observe the properties of matter and classify different substances as solids, liquids, and gases.

Students examine the properties of solids, liquids, and gasses. In this states of matter lesson plan, the teacher guides students through a series of experiments to illustrate each state of matter and how matter changes from one state...

Third graders observe the properties of water and in its different states. In this states of matter lesson, 3rd graders view a video, read The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks and experiment with freezing, melting and boiling...

To study the phases of matter, learners complete an experiment including water and corn starch and answer six short answer questions about the states of matter the observed. 

Here is an excellent lesson plan on the water cycle and the states in which water exists. Learners identify the features of the water cycle, describe how water changes form, and look at ways that people affect the natural movement of...

Learners explore the three states of matter. In this matter lesson, students are shown a variety of examples and decide whether it is a liquid, solid or gas. Learners brainstorm what characteristics the objects in each group share.

Learners examine how heating causes substances to expand, and cooling cause it to contract. They investigate the states of matter.

The states of water are the focus of this PowerPoint. The presentation includes definitions of liquids, solids, and vapors. It also includes examples and illustrations of each of the states of water and information about how water can...

Here is part one of a two-part lesson in which scholars investigate the changing states of water—liquid, solid, and gas. With grand conversation and up to three demonstrations, learners make predictions about what they think will happen...

Third graders identify properties of solids, liquids, and gasses. In this states of matter lesson plan, the teacher demonstrates the properties of each state of matter, then students go on a scavenger hunt for items to represent each...

Pour on the knowledge with an engaging states of matter interactive! Young physical scientists view the atoms within a liquid to explain what gives a liquid its unique properties. The resource allows users to highlight and observe two...

Students discuss the three states of matter and how they are affected by temperature. They make ice cream in a bag while observing how temperature change affects the mixture. They discuss why some specimens froze more quickly than others...

Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The lesson begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the heat needed to...

Pupils identify the three states of matter and their properties.  In this physical science lesson, students explore a website on the states of matter and complete a worksheet.

Sixth in a series of 36, this lesson focuses on gases and their behavior in given situations. Learners review the states of matter and then focus on gases, specifically learning Boyle's, Charles's, Avogadro's Laws, Dalton's, and Graham's...

Solids, liquid, and gas, the three states of matter, are the subject of a cross-curricular reading comprehension exercise that asks kids to first read an article about these forms, and then to respond to a series of questions based on...

Students investigate the 3 states of matter. For this physical science "matter" lesson, students observe and participate in a number of demonstrations involving melting and freezing water. Students observe the effect heat has on changing...

Students conduct science experiments to understand that particle movement changes as a substance changes from one phase to another phase. Students record observations of experiments that involve the three states of matter: solid,...

Sometimes a simple explanation is best when introducing new concepts. Identify the three states of matter with this presentation. Each slide provides a simple description and examples for each of the three states. Tip: Show students the...
