Properties of Matter

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This PowerPoint is a gem! Seventy-eight slides present an entire introduction to matter in bullet-point fashion. Viewers learn about everything from mass and inertia to phase changes and gas laws! The only glitch is that the links to videos do not work. You will find the presentation to be valuable nonetheless. It can be shown in parts and may support several weeks of your introductory physical science curriculum.
