A Matter of Fact
Third graders define matter as anything that takes up space and has mass, recognize, through experimentation and observation, that matter exists in three forms, including solid, liquid, and gas, and discuss characteristics of each form...
Curated OER
Solids, Liquids, Gasses
In this elementary physics activity, 2nd graders discover five substances that can be found as a solid, 5 as a liquid, and 5 as a gas. Students then notate the names of substances on a chart.
Curated OER
Metals and Non-Metals
A table of the physical properties of metals and non-metals opens this high-school chemistry handout. Also covered are the chemical properties of metals and non-metals, reactivity, and fossil fuels. There are no specific questions to...
