Matter

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Matter ppt also includes:
  • Graphic & Image
  • Join to access all included materials

In a neat and straightforward manner, this PowerPoint delivers basic introductory information on the properties of matter, physical and chemical changes, and pure substances vs. mixtures. It also defines the states of matter. For some reason, a disproportionate number of slides are dedicated to explaining plasma, but since they are at the end of the presentation, you can decide whether or not to use them.
