Curated OER
Matter
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.
Curated OER
Properties of Matter
Third graders explore forms of matter through reading, hands-on science activities, and research using the Internet. Students create a booklet, directions given, that they title and decorate, to later serve as a review visualization...
Curated OER
Phases of Matter
Eighth graders practice using correct vocabulary and apply content knowledge related to phases of matter when answering questions about situations or observations from everyday life.
Curated OER
Solids/Liquids - Inquiry Lesson
First graders explore the characteristics of solids and liquids. In groups, they generate ideas on how a solid is transformed to a liquid and back to a solid. They make predictions on how the process can be speeded up with a partner. ...
Curated OER
Making Ice Cream
Student examine the physical changes of matter and are able to describe them. They make ice cream in plastic bags to observe the changes in matter. They describe and record the changes in the ice cream mixture as it freezes.
Curated OER
Ecology
Students identify and describe three states of water. They predict how water will change states.
Curated OER
It's a Matter of Change
Students watch a video on matter and identify examples of solids, liquids and gases in the classroom. They discuss the attributes for each kind of matter and conduct an experiment to explore how matter can change form.
Curated OER
The Three States of Matter: Energy Matters
Students examine the states of matter; solids, liquids and gases. They explain how the states of matter change from one to another.
Curated OER
Teaching Matter with The Wild Christmas Reindeer
Second graders learn the proper way to take measurements, explore the properties of objects and expand their vocabulary.
Curated OER
Matter Matters!
Second graders experiment with heating and cooling and research the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
Curated OER
What Is the Freezing Point?
Middle schoolers remove heat energy and determine how it causes a phase change.
Curated OER
State of Matter - Atoms
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.
Curated OER
What Is the Matter with Water?
Second graders observe matter in all 3 states : liquid, solid and gas, in an ice cream soda. In teams, they are given ice and teams compete to be the first to melt their ice. Winner gets the ice cream soda. They draw examples of 3 states...
Curated OER
Matter
Fifth graders investigate the nature of matter and of the scientific processes associated with them in this series of lessons.
Curated OER
Water Into Gas
Students investigate how temperature and pressure cause a material to change phase. They heat water to reclaim a gas. They demonstrate that different liquids evaporate at different temperatures.
Curated OER
Substances And Chemical Reactions
Students watch and predict chemical reactions when different substances are mixed together. They differentiate between solid, liquid, and gas.
Curated OER
Matter: Three States of Matter
Students discover characteristics of each of the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
Curated OER
Phases of Matter
Young scholars describe the motion of solids, liquids and gases. In this chemistry lesson, students describe how temperature affect motion of the particles. They determine the physical properties of each phase.
Curated OER
What's the Matter?
Students investigate matter. For this matter lesson, students identify types of matter and characteristics of each type. Students discuss matter and create matter posters to show understanding.
Curated OER
Compounds and Mixtures Notes
For this matter worksheet, learners watch a movie and then compare the differences between compounds and mixtures. This worksheet has 16 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
What Are Physical Changes in Matter?
In this matter worksheet, students write down 3 causes and effects of physical changes in matter. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
What is a Physical Change in Matter?
In this matter worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in 1 thing that causes a physical change in matter and 3 effects this has on matter.
Curated OER
States of Matter
In this states of matter worksheet, students will complete the graphic organizer by writing in the 3 states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
