Students identify physical characteristics and group objects for a picnic using the states of matter for each object and using literature to introduce the states of matter.

Young scholars demonstrate the three states of matter. In this matter activity, students read Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Young scholars create "ooblek" and discuss what state of matter it is.

Young scholars experience problem-based learning as they use prior knowledge of the states of matter to keep a frozen juice bar from melting.

Students investigate the Ideal Gas Law. In this three states of matter lesson, students create Alka-Seltzer rockets using film canisters. Students record observations and data according to the scientific method and explain the gas...

Third graders conduct experiments in matter to create chemical changes resulting in gases. By mixing solids and liquids, they create a chemical reaction and capture the gas in balloons. After observing the balloons fill with carbon...

Learners participate in a science experiment to understand that matter takes up space.  In this matter lesson, students experiment with solids, liquids and gases to recognize that matter is everywhere. Learners make observations and...

Young scholars describe four states of matter and their characteristics, explain thermal expansion of matter, interpret state changes in terms of kinetic theory of matter, explain relationship between temperature and volume of a gas,...

Students identify the properties of the three states of matter and observe the movement of Oobleck and be able to compare its movement to that of solids and liquids. They record in their Science Journal what they discovered about Oobleck.

Students investigate the properties of air through inflated objects. In this physical science instructional activity, students examine gas as a state of matter. Student push on inflated objects and note the space the gas has taken up...

Second graders identify the three states of matter by examining fishbowls with various contents. They discuss their observations and the characteristics of matter in each state. Pupils read the story The Rainbow Fish and look for...

Did you know that jumping spiders sometimes wear water droplets as hats? A seventh grade science lesson introduces the concept of what makes up water: tiny molecules that are attracted to each other. Starting with a...

Students examine the three states of matter. They identify the segments of heating and cooling curves. Students analyze data and create a graph to determine the freezing and melting temperature of water.

First graders explore the properties of matter. In this states of matter activity, 1st graders conduct scientific investigations that require them to mix, cool, and heat objects in order to observe changes in the properties of matter.

Students explore solids, liquids, and gasses and categorize and describe the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students categorize items as solid, liquid, or gas based on the definitions given by the teacher. Students...

Students investigate the kinetic-molecular theory. In this state of matter lesson, students consider the differences of melting glaciers, melting icebergs and investigate on what happens when submerged water melts.

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.

Students make ice cream as a result of viewing changes of states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students learn how heating and cooling can effect a state of matter to change.

Students experiment with balloons, soda water and raisins to find out about the states of matter.  In this solids, liquids and gases lesson, students complete a group activity with balloons to recognize the state of matter in it....

Second graders conduct investigations to explore matter. In this states of matter activity, 2nd graders complete four activities to analyze the three states of matter. Students analyze the properties of solids, liquids, and gases....

Learners examine and discuss how atoms change from solid to liquid to gas. They inflate a balloon by melting ice that converts to steam, and discuss the results.

Students discover characteristics of each of the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.

Students examine the states of matter; solids, liquids and gases. They explain how the states of matter change from one to another.

Young scholars investigate gases and liquids. In this states of matter online lesson plan, students examine how evaporation plays a part in the transition of liquids into gases as they watch a kettle of water boil and then work in small...

Fourth graders explore objects that do not fit into the categories given by three states of matter. They explore why an object doesn't fit perfectly into one of the three categories. Students observe the properties of Oobleck. They...
