Silly Stuff
It's time to get a little silly with this fun primary grade science activity. By simply combining two liquids, white glue and corn starch, a strange solid is formed, commonly known as silly putty. To ensure everything goes smoothly,...
Curated OER
Matter
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...

Properties of Balls
Enhance your states of matter lessons with a hands-on science investigation that compares six different balls' color, texture, size, weight, ability to bounce, and buoyancy.
Normal Community High School
Classification of Matter
Steel is an example of homogeneous mixture, also called an alloy, which is made of iron and carbon. The presentation introduces learners to elements, compounds, and mixtures. They explore their similarities and differences, and then take...
Curated OER
Properties of Matter
Ninth graders explore the molecular structure of matter and how it can affect the physical characteristics of a specific material. They demonstrate that isotopes of an element have different masses. Students demonstrate that the rates of...
Curated OER
Matter
Teach your English leaners about the states of matter while they practice printing skills. For this worksheet, class members trace the 14 given statements about the states and properties of matter. You might pair this with another...
Curated OER
Identifying Matter by Sound and Feel
In this identifying matter by sound and feel worksheet, students participate in an experiment to identify a wide variety of different types of matter in film containers supplied by each student.
Curated OER
Properties
For this properties worksheet, learners classify each of the properties given as either extensive or intensive and as either physical or chemical. This worksheet has 1 graphic organizer and 8 fill in the blank questions.

Associative Property
Here is a new twist on teaching the associative property of multiplication. The author of this presentation makes an analogy between the associative property and a couple getting married. The numbers, like people, are separate, but when...

Classifying Matter
Details about matter and how it is classified are included here. The slides, with differences about homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures, have diagrams to support the definitions and your class will appreciate the summaries to assist...

Properties of Fresh and Sea Water
Learners work with three stations to demonstrate the properties of water. They explore water's boiling point, freezing point, and its ability to store heat.
Curated OER
Phases of Matter
In this matter worksheet, students calculate volume and partial pressure for gases, compare liquid and vapor phases, and review the characteristics properties of gases. This worksheet has 12 multiple choice and 3 problems to solve.

Density
Explore the concept of density within states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—through a group experiment in which young scientists test objects' texture, color, weight, size, and ability to sink or float.

Challenge with Solids, Liquids, and Gases
There's a container for every matter—liquid, solid, and gas. Pupils design three different containers, each with the capability to hold one of the states of matter, and share their design with the class.
Beyond Benign
Packed Up Properties
Determine physical properties of potential packaging materials. Continuing from previous lessons in the series, the resource asks groups to identify physical properties of the substances. They test for conductivity, solubility, water...

Properties of Matter
Never trust an atom; they make up everything! Young chemists make modeling dough and add another ingredient to change the properties. Scholars then compare the properties of emulsion to composite materials. A reading passage and analysis...

States of Matter 2
While scientists have identified seven states of matter, these puzzles cover the most common three. Scholars match the properties, particle motion, and particle picture to each type of matter. Three Sudoku-style puzzles review the data...

Understanding Elements
Nothing says organization quite like a table. The third lesson in a six-part Mixtures and Solutions unit teaches young scientists about elements and the periodic table. They learn how the periodic table is organized and about the...
Royal Society of Chemistry
States of Matter 1
Do solids, liquids, and gases even matter? Scholars match the state of matter to its particle picture, size and shape description, and description of the arrangement of the particles. Once they complete that activity, they complete a...
