Discover what matter is and what it isn't. Our resource breaks down the physical and chemical properties of matter to make it more accessible to students. Start off by identifying matter as atoms, particles and molecules. Then, explore the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Determine whether something is transparent, opaque or translucent. List three physical changes and three chemical changes that could happen in the kitchen. Conduct an experiment to see chemical change in action. Describe the steps necessary when separating a mixture. Experiment with photosynthesis, an important chemical change. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
**This is the chapter slice "Three States of Matter" from the full lesson plan "Properties of Matter"** Discover what matter is, and is not.

Our resource provides ready-to-use information and activities for remedial students using simplified language and vocabulary. Written to grade these science concepts are presented in a way that makes them more accessible to students and easier to understand. Our resource is jam-packed with experiments, reading passages, and activities all for students in grades 5 to 8. Color mini posters and answer key included and can be used effectively for test prep and your whole-class. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEM initiatives.
Matter: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science series gets kids excited about science! What’s the matter? Everything is matter! Everything you can touch and hold is made up of matter—including you, your dog, and this book! Matter is stuff that you can weigh and that takes up space, which means pretty much everything in the world is made of matter. In Matter: Physical Science for Kids, kids ages 5 to 8 explore the definition of matter and the different states of matter, plus the stuff in our world that isn’t matter, such as sound and light! In this nonfiction picture book, children are introduced to physical science through detailed illustrations paired with a compelling narrative that uses fun language to convey familiar examples of real-world science connections. By recognizing the basic physics concept of matter and identifying the different ways matter appears in real life, kids develop a fundamental understanding of physical science and are impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and laboratories. Simple vocabulary, detailed illustrations, easy science experiments, and a glossary all support exciting learning for kids ages 5 to 8. Perfect for beginner readers or as a read aloud nonfiction picture book! Part of a set of four books in a series called Picture Book Science that tackles different kinds of physical science (waves, forces, energy, and matter), Matter offers beautiful pictures and simple observations and explanations. Quick STEM activities such as weighing two balloons to test if air is matter help readers cross the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and provide a foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as kids progress in their science education. Perfect for children who love to ask, “Why?” about the world around them, Matter satisfies curiosity while encouraging continual student-led learning.
This book gives young readers a better understanding of the different states of matter. Through colorful photographs and lively discussions of familiar materials, readers will be drawn in to learn about matter's many forms.
Using the narrative voice of a student attending a science camp, this book delves into the properties of matter while engaging the readers in the process of scientific inquiry.
Join Bartholomew Cubbins in Dr. Seuss’s Caldecott Honor–winning picture book about a king’s magical mishap! Bored with rain, sunshine, fog, and snow, King Derwin of Didd summons his royal magicians to create something new and exciting to fall from the sky. What he gets is a storm of sticky green goo called Oobleck—which soon wreaks havock all over his kingdom! But with the assistance of the wise page boy Bartholomew, the king (along with young readers) learns that the simplest words can sometimes solve the stickiest problems.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand matter and energy with our Physical Science 3-book BUNDLE. Students discover what matter is with Properties of Matter. Identify atoms, particles and molecules before exploring the three states of matter. Experiment with photosynthesis, an important chemical change. Then, explore the invisible world of Atoms, Molecules and Elements. See how the atomic model is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. Get comfortable with the periodic table by recognizing each element as part of a group. Finally, unlock the mysteries of Energy. Dissect mechanical energy by identifying the different points on a roller coaster as using kinetic or potential energy. Measure the speed of sound in a group experiment. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities and experiments. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.
