For this activity, students take part in a simulation of the three states of matter where they role play being molecules. They then create simple balloon rockets and must explain why a gas is the only state of matter that can cause the...

Five exemplary chemistry lessons about the three states of matter complete with handouts and animations.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of state of matter and the three common states of matter and their differences.

Provides interesting information about the three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

Engaging hands on science lessons for grades 2-6 on the three states of matter.

In this Physical Science exploration activity, pupils explore the meaning of the words solid, liquid, and gas. Student groups complete a chart with examples of each type of matter and its properties and then record their observations in...

Use this resource to learn about the three different phases of water; solid, liquid, and gas. What happens to water as it changes into a solid or gas? Includes short and easy to do activity.

In the States of Matter module, students further explore the concept that anything on earth that has mass and takes up space is matter. This exercise introduces students to solids, liquids and gases, the three most common states of...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces fifth graders to the three states of matter. Concepts include the affect of temperature on matter and physical properties.

Learn about the three phases of matter, and how the addition and removal of thermal energy (also known as heat) affects them.

This interactive assessment features 7 matching, 7 multiple-choice, and 6 true/false questions over 20 terms related to Solids, Liquids, and Gases (the three states of matter).

This set of interactive flashcards focuses on 20 terms related to Solids, Liquids, and Gases (the three states of matter).

This site contains an interactive activity in which students can learn about the three states of matter. There is also a factsheet that lists numerous properties of liquids, solids, and gases. The factsheet also uses water as an example...

Brief descriptions of physical properties, physical changes, and the process of sublimation. The three states of matter, melting point, and boiling point are described. There is one link on the page, which leads to an explanation of...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Review the three forms of matter with this flipchart. This could also be used for a pre-assessment before a unit on matter.

Students will be expanding a study of phase changes after experiences with exploration of the three phases of matter. They apply what they have learned through freezing water and create a tasty ice cream treat.
